Under Way Again

SUBURBAN CRICKET DRAW All Games Resume To-Morrow FRESH from their triumphs in Wellington, the Auckland suburban cricket representatives will rejoin their clubmates to-morrow and assist to get competition matches under way again after a three week spell. It is evident, after the fine showing of the Aucklands reps, against the picked men of the rest of the Dominion, that the standard of club cricket in Auckland is particularly high at the present time.

THE draw for to-morrow suggests an interesting series of matches in prospect. The hitherto unbeaten Harbour Board A team ought, on past form, to clean up Green Lane, which lias not won a match so far, but it would give a rare buck to the competition if the men from down the Great South Road were able to spring a surprise on the leaders, little as that

1 prospect appears to be likely. Ponsonby and Ellerslie are well matched. Botii have an identical match record of two wins and three losses, and it is a toss-up to say which team will win. Glen Eden and JTarbour Board B will also compete on practically equal terms, and it will be interesting to see how these two games pan out. Takanini. —H. Rowe, W. Roberts, E. Roberts, W. Clayton, T.
