HIGH SCORING IN PAPATOETOE MATCH

LUSK GETS A CENTURY (From Our Own Correspondent) PAPATOETOE. To-day. With Papatoetoe out for 329, and two of their wickets down for two. North Shore A set their back to the wall and played an uphill fight on the Papatoetoe ground on Saturday. After batting all afternoon, their last wicket fell one minute before the cal of time for 232, giving Papatoetoe a first innings victory of 97 runs. Shore’s best batsman was Lusk, who played a beautiful game to reach 103 not out. It took him just on four hours, and during that time he had two lives, on account of the home team’s poor fielding. Others to register double figures were P. Foster 50, F. Archer 35. Renshaw 14, and Horsley 12. Bowling for Papatoetoe E. H. Burnside took three wickets for 76 runs; L. Kerr two for 13; Strachan, two for 36: D. Burnside, one for 11; A. Swaffiela. two for 30.
