Green Lane's Hard Task

Tomorrow’s Suburban Cricket

ALBION'S GOOD POSITION CAN Green Lane, Suburban cricket championship leader retain its position Ellerslie tomorrow, v„->cn the fourth series of second-round competition games will be concluded ? Ellerslie, only 36 runs behind its opponents’ score a and with five wickets in ha • c >mm u di ig j >s tion to gain at least a two-point win.

Ellerslie’s batting strength was by no means exhausted by the opening day's play, and if the veterans R. Burton and Yates can “get set’’ it is more than likely the score will be carried well beyond Green Lane's ITT Scarborough and Seccombe, the Green Lane bowlers, will probably have their skill taxed to the utmost to keep down the runs. The first innings’ collapse of Ponsonby has placed Albion in a good position to gain a two-point victory and a major win not impossible. Albion has lost four wickets for 103, and if Gedye, whose score is 49 not out. can find a solid partner, the team should run up a substantial total at the crease tomorrow. The contest between W.Y.M.I. and Harbour Board is likely to be particularly inetresting. Last season's champions have a prospect of retaining the championship this season, and will exert every effort to ensure victory tomorrow. Teams are as under: Senior B Grade Fawcett, Limited.—Bell.
