PARNELL TOO GOOD FOR Y.M.C.A. MEN

WENSLEY’S BOWLING FEAT By dismissing Y.M.C.A. for 134 runs in its first innings on No. 2 wicket, .it Eden Hark on Saturday. Purnell gained a comfortable three point win over the competition leaders. It wus generally thought. w hen Y.M.r.A. continued its innings, that it would go very near to securing the required number, namely. 135. Cooper and Sutherland were not out. and quite a formidable batting array remained yet to come ir\ —Elliott, Lyon. Innes. Riddolls. and Panther. How- < vor, with the exception of the notout men. none of the Y.M.C.A. batsmen could make much of an impression on the Parnell attack. Men noted fur their reliability in the past dimply faded away before the onslaught of "We ns ley and Co. Cooper, with a liberal allowance of good fortune, managed to take his total from 1 n to 35. and Sutherland ran up 33 before being caught and bowled by McCoy. Both men played lint* defensive games for their sides, and Parnell, as events later on proved, roally won the match when it separated this pair. McCOY’S BRIGHT BATTING Elliott. Lyon. Innes. and Clarke all went cheaply. Innes hit the first ball ho received for a boundary, anil it was also the first four scored off Wensloy in the match. Panther and Ilidflolls made a valiant ninth-wicket stand, but Arnold Anthony succeeded iti ha\ing both of them dismissed before they became really dangerous. Coach A F. Wensley gave the spectators a line exhibition of his ability as .i. bowler by bowling practically continuously throughout Y.M.C.A.'s innings, to secure five wickets for a total cost of 37 runs. To him more than anyone else Purnell owes credit for its win. With a perfect length ml variation in the High: and pace of his deliveries, he had to be carefully watched at all times. Anthony took three wickets for 12 runs. Purnell opened its second innings v ith Aitken anil Goodsir. and with the • ult no longer being at issue, the led caps treated the Y.M.C.A. tields- ! ;• u to a hectic leather-hunting hour and a-ha If. Hoc" Aitken put plenty of weight nd power behind h»r shots in scoring 34. but McCoy scored at an even u.M.r rate than he. The Parnell bowler hit two sixes olf Riddolls, and •■ne each oft' Elliott and Lyon. One from Riddolls yielded him 20

runs—two sixes and two fours. ICe j had scored 78 when h»> was brilliantly caught bv Innes off Elliott. | Details: Y.M.C.A. First Innings Anti . ..
