Star A (20) Wanganui East 0 7 2 5 2 3 7 Star A .. 3 9 2 1 4 1 0 This was one of the slowest games of the day . Star A’s pitcher, J. Broad, was absent, and also E. Hamling, these two would probably have made the difference to Star’s performance. Wanganui East has greatly improved, however, and played steadily.
