NEW PLYMOUTH DEFEAT TIKORANGI.

I Though-New Plymouth gained a suo-1 j stantial lead, on Tikorangi in the hrst in-! j sings, considerable interest was added j to the match by the fact that the local I ! team set out to gain a three-point win, | and succeeded in doing so, thanks to | the good bowling of Hughes, just when; !it looked as if they would fail. Tiko-, ; rangi batted first, and could only com-1 piled 50, of which Sarten scored 23 (not j out) by good batting, though he was ; missed when he had scored 1. Nicoll, j Chappcll, and Mason divided the bowl- j ing honors. Heskett and Richards opeir.l [ for New Plymouth. Play was very quiet; *t the start, and runs came slowiy. In. i deed, of Sarten's first i-even overs live were maidens, only two runs being scored, whilst .Tupp also' bowled two maidens. After the afternoon tea adjournment Heskett livened up, whilst Richards patiently plodded away, though an occasional loose one went to the boundary. Despite changes of bowling,! 80 was on the board before a separation | was effected, Heskett being caught off; dupp for 60, which included one (i and fix j 4's. New Plymouth then began to liit out, and declared with five wickets fori 110, Richards carrying his bar. for a wcll-piaye 34, and Colson doing likewise for 11. Tikorangi had <sl to get to save a three-point defeat. They started nadly, losing two wickets for if, but, thanks to a fine stand by .Tupp, Sarten, and Criflin, 49 'was on the board i'or three wickets. Tt looked as if New Plymouth woiiM have to be satisfied with a two-point lead, when Hughes, a High School boy. (a son of Mr. D. .T. Hughes, late of Malum), was given the ball. Bowling finely, 'he got rid of the remainder in 14 bails for 1 run, and the other bowlers keeping I the runs down, the innings closed for | jiij with a few minutes to Do- j tailed scores:-- J
