SUBURBAN CRICKET

Interesting Play at Domain BURTON SCORES CENTURY riEKE were many surprises in tlie cricket at tlie Domain yesterday. The play was the first series of the second round of the Suburban Association’s senior competition in which Harbour Board was playing Victoria, Green Lane Glen Eden and Ponsonby Ellerslie. The wicket iii the morning was very bad for the batsmen, being fast and fiery, but in the afternoon it evened up and the bowlers were hit all over the field.

The Green Lane bowlers played havoc with the Glen Eden batsmen *n the morning, but in the afternoon the Green Lane batsmen had it all their own way and the same thing - occurred in the other matches. Except for the Victoria-Harbour Board match the side that batted in the morning lost the match. In the afternoon, as the result o£ the improved wicket, there was some bright batting and many high scores. Burton, for Ellerslie, made 122, his second century of the season, and four other players passed the lifty mark On the contrary, there was some fine bowling done in the morning, Cox, for Green Lane, taking seven wickets for 40 runs; Richardson, of Glen Eden, six for 106; Baxter, of Ellerslie, ’seven for 86; and Barnes, of Ponsonby, six for 45. BURTON SCORES CENTURY GREAT BATTING AGAINST PONSONBY A fine display o£ bright and interesting cricket was given by Burton playing lor Ellerslie against Ponsonby.

His innings was an excellent ° n ßatting in the morning Ponsonby made 160, Fletcher getting 51 before he was bowled by Lawrence. In the afternoon Ellerslie made 239, thanks mainly to Burton, and also to Getlye and Hollis, who scored usefully.

HARBOUR BOARD BEATEN VICTORIA WINS BY 77 RUNS Harbour Hoard collapsed badly in the match against Victoria. The game was a one-day affair, so that there was only time for a one-innings decision. In its first innings in the morning, on a difficult pitch, Victoria hit up the useful total of 217, chiefly thanks to Viscoe, who held the side together and made 77 off his own bat. Harbour Board opened badly, one wicket falling for two runs; but Dunning, Breese and Martin made useful scores in the thirties and it began to look as if the side might beat Victoria. But the tail showed up badly and with the exception of Storey none of the last five players could pass the six mark. The side made 140, Moore, the Victoria bowler, getting four wickets for 50 runs, being beaten by 77 runs.

WIN FOR GREEN LANE WICKET BEATS GLEN EDEN Glen Eden had the bad luck to go in In the morning yesterday. The wicket was too much for it and it failed for 109, Cox, the coach, taking I seven wickets for 40 runs for Green Lane. Green Lane had much better fortune in the afternoon. Both C. Watts and Cox passed the sixty mark and the total was 231. Watts played a sound innings, but all the batting honours went to Cox.

WAIKATO’S EASY WIN AUCKLAND TEAM BEATEN (From Our Own Correspondents HAMILTON, Tuesday. As was generally expected, Waikato had an easy thing on with Mr. E. C. Beale’s cricket eleven. Owing to club competitions being played in Auckland, the visiting team was only a scratch side, but it put up a good game, despite a defeat on the first innings by 233 runs. Waikato batted first, scoring 368 for eight wickets (declared). Badeley gave a brilliant display for 120 retired, and Timms 67, Johnston 47, Skeet 30 and Phipps (20, not out), also batted well. Nolan, three for 76, was the most successful Auckland bowler. Auckland replied with 135 (Hethcrington 35, Christian 23, Stoupe 20). Going took four for 23. Badeley two for 14, McLean two for 23. Following on, the visitors had made 67 for two wickets when stumps were drawn for the day ANolan, 30 not out, Pearson, 17 not out).
