BOWLERS' DAY

Dunning Shines For Varsity

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) There .were many disappointed batsmen oh .Saturday when the second series of club matches commenced, for runs were hard to get. ■ i TT was ja? bowlers' day, particularly ■*■ f or • <the :Varslty bowler, Dunning, who took' seven wickets for 15 runs. It was.;, a- long, procession of Graf ton batsmen that^ came; put to .meet the hot attaick* of X)urtnirig, and he- dtsV missed them without any trouble. H6ckin managed to stand up to him until Re scored eight runs, and, on the day, -facing: £his terror with the ball, ;it was a good performance. From tne batsmen's point of view, the wicket, was disastrous, but Norman, who took the first wicket for Glen Eden, against Green Lane, has reason tp 'feel .proud of his performance. He reached a neat hundred before being caught out. He showed fine style .and ".his free hitting was roundly ( applauded. , The collapse' of Grafton came as a surprise, 'excellent bowling: seeing them all gone for 43. The wicket was fast and tyickyi and the bowlers' just did as they liked. The match between E^ien and Ponuonby did nbi come up to expectations. H. Gillespie was the ; strong man of the, Eden team, and he finished with 94 after a praiseworthy stand. His boundaries were gained by excellent, judgment of difficult balls^and he hit with .- preat ; style at every||ii(n|r ,sen,t ;;by, '■ Smith. ,-*S . . The best score m the North Shore v.t^ited;> Suburbs match wasi ,35 by Frater for 'Shore."; '
