CRICKET

NOTES. [By "Leg-Break."] RECORDS BROKEN. The competitions ware resumed on Saturday in glorious weather. The wickets were, on the whole, dn good j run-getting order, and some extraordinary performances resulted with lioth hat and hall, several Wairarapa records being i)rokon. \ MASThUITON" v. CARTERTON, j The Masterton-Carterton match, on t tho Jatter-'s ground proved rthe most surprising. Tho pitcih there was perfect- ; in fact, so true was tho turf that only two halls were noticed to keep ; low, and only two to riso to any extent \ during the whole afternoon's play. I Tho pitch, had hecn very carefully prepared, and the Carterton players are fx> be complimented on this fact. The day's play was responsible for four Wairarapii records being broken. W. Redmond ami T. Jordan, for Masterton, put on the. enormous score of 283 before they were separated. Tins is easily a Wairarapa record for the highest partnership and also in that two centuries were scored in the innings. Redmond's display was -indeed brilliant. His contribution off 157 constitutes another Wairarapa record as the burliest individual score. He made his runs in that perfect and free and oasv ttylo which characterises his play at'certain times. His host scoring stroke was, as usual, on the leg side, although, he was perfectly at home .all round tho wicket, making | .rood howling look simple. Ho showed ! no tendency to lift the ball, being content with hard, crisp, clean and forcing drives along the carpet.- It might he stated here that the Garter- , .ton bowling was, by-no means weak, which makes the performance all the more meritorious. Among tho howlers were Sievers, Fenwick, Phelps and Miller Jordan's display was the best ho has yet shown us. Like his partner, he o-avo a dashing and forceful display" although, at .times he appeared more, canbioos. He gave only one J chance,.and that at• 80/ and toe bail that boat 'him was a good one. _ M.is ■total was 112. When the first wicket fell for 283 runs, the game had only been.in progress for 130 minutes. Never before in the Wairarapa has such a brilliant display been .seen. Of the remaining Masterton players, x Ksspn (37),.MoodKJUso (31) and Perry (17 not out)'also Showed good form. The "tail," however, failed, and the innings closed for 380, which is a record score in Wairarapa. cricket. As before stated,- die Carterton bowling was "ood, especially at the start, but on essentially a batsman's wicket it was gradually worn down. Miller and Fenwick were the most successful. The fielding of the 'home team was at times very good, and quick returns resulted in two run outs.~~ With only a fow minutes to play, Carterton have \ 35 runs up without any loss—Smart i 24.

The. junior match., Masterton v. j St. Matthew's, was also of a sensational character, the former putting down St. Matthew's to the tune of an innings .and 48 runs. Winning the toss the losers hatted, and gave a very poor display, A. Thompson getting iall over, them. This bowler captured 4 wickets with his first four balls, and was unfortunate in having two chances behind the stumps missed off the last two balls of the disastrous over. Off the 'first ball of the next over the same bowler failed to hold a hot return. He ended, however, with 8 wickets ■for 7 runs—a wonderful performance. Masterton's innings realised 137, Perry being top-scorer with ;a well-earned 50, Lett 28, and Iggulden 17. In the second innings St. Matts. did a little better, but were unable, to save an easy defeat. Scores: — ST.
