MANY RECORDS GO

HAURAKI PLAINS GAMES -\GATEA, Today. Records were established in in-ter-club cricket on Hauraki Plains on Saturday last, when in 135 minutes the Kopuarahi team made 315 runs for nine wickets, a record for the district, where on account of the rough fields and long grass, a three-figure score is exceptional, and A. McMillan, a young Kopuarahi player made the first century in the records of the Hauraki Plains Cricket Association. | Pipiroa had been dismissed for 55, 1 E. Gill taking six wickets for 27 and A. MeMilland and C. Laurence opened for Kopuarahi. Laurence was caught out at 13 and was replaced by H. Wright, who with five sixes and three fours made a total of 59. L. Candy added 43 with six fours, and H. Candy 46 with three sixes and five fours. McMillan's score comprised four sixes, elev n fours, six twos and twenty singles. The runs at the fall of wickets were better than that of the M.C.C. match, of which details were being received on the field by radio. Time being nearly up the others went in to hit out. but with the exception of E. Gill, who added 32 with three sixes and two fours, the scores were low. R. Green made 7, K. Laurence 7 not out. T. O'Carroll 4 and J. O'Carroll none. F. Wallis took three for 44. A. McAauley, 1-33; W. Knox, 3-101 and J. Knox.

Some years ago R. JD. Ma- klow. when playing for Tnrua, made 98 runs and two seasons back A. Burt, when playing for Ng ' ide 99, but generally a score of two or three dozen is considered quit© good on Hauraki Plains fields, where halls usually stop dead where they fall.
