AN UPHILL FIGHT
SUBURBAN CLUB’S MEET CAN PETONE PULL GAME OUT OF FIRE? Hutt’s prospects of notching a victory over Petone, on the latter's native heath, did not look at all bright when the last wicket was shattered,' and their innings had been productive of only 130 runs. However, the Petonitcs commenoed disastrously, and when play ceased for the day the board told the tale of five wickets being doWn for a meagre 62. H. E. Nicholla (30) and Brice (17), the not out men, are making a determined stand in an endeavour to pull the game out of the fire, and so far are the only men to reach double figures. Beard found a wicket to suit him, and dispatched four disconsolate batsmen to the pavilion for 19. Tattersall headed Hutt’s batting list with 25, while Nunn carried his bat for a bright 24. McLeod (18), Gwilliam 14), McKay, McGirr, and Beard (10 each), were other batsmen to run up double figures. The bowling honours were distributed between Brice, Reyling, and M. F. Nicholls in that order, the former being responsible for four wickets for 35, Reyling four for 86, and the latter one for one. Scores are as tinder:— HUTT.—First Innings.
