Conditions for Batting

SECOND SUBURBAN GAMES Prospects for Tomorrow WITH the prospect of stood wickets, the concluding stages of the Suburban Association’s seeond series of competition matches on the Domain tomorrow, promise to produce some interesting batting performances.

Interest will probably be chiefly I centered in the Ellerslie-Ponsonby j clash, because it is the game most j likely to produce a surprising turn. Ellerslie has ■ batted itself into a strong position, and when Ponsonby ! resumes at the crease tomorrow, it will be faced with the making up a deficit of S2 runs, with only three wickets to fall, to gain even terms with its opponents on the first innings. If A. Watts reproduces the bowling form he showed late last Saturday. Ponies may experience the utmost difficulty in their task. If last season’s champion. Harbour Board, maintains the standard of batting set by the Dunning-Breese partnership last Saturday, it will have a good chance of scoring a four-point victory over Albion., The loss of one wicket has already carried Harbour Board 21 runs ahead of the new team. Green Lane, has set Wesleyan Young Men’s Institute a solid task to reach a total of 241 in the j first innings. Already Institute has lost three wickets for 32, including somo of its best batsmen, and there is every likelihood of a victory for Green Lane at the end of the day.
