“BATSMEN IN CLOVER”
ADVANCEMENT OF CHAMPIONSHIP CRICKET SERIES 'N IDEAL WEATHER CONDITIONS .. BURT AND FOLEY MAKE CENTURIES BY EXCELLENT PLAY Batsmen in Wellington were “in clover” on Saturday,, when the championship cricket series were advanced a further stage in ideal weather conditions. Basin reserve was the centre of activities, and splendid exhibitions of batting were provided, particularly in the Institute and Old Boys’ 'encounter, in which the former have established a substantial lead, and H. Foley and D. Burt ran up brilliantly-compiled centuries. ’Varsity appear to have their game with Y.M.C.A. well in hand, while Thorndon has set Kilbirnie a difficult task. Despite the fact that Hutt were not impressive, Pe tone’s position i 3 decidedly shaky, although not irretrievable, while Wellington have opened well in retaliation to Midland’s formidable score of close on 300. Generally favouring the batsmen, the pitches nevertheless turned deliveries, and treated some trundlers well, Badcock, Hiddleston, Hollings, and Beard being conspicuous for securing creditable averages in their respective matches.
