4.30 O’CLOCK EDITION

NEW ZEALAND-HAMPSHIRE VISITORS SCORE SLOWLY ACCURATE COUNTY BOWLING (From the Special Correspondent of the United Press Association with the team.) (Received August 25, 3.15 p.m.) BOURNEMOUTH, August 24 Hampshire declared their second innings closed with five wickets down for 171 runs, after making 421 in their first against the New Zealand cricketers at Bournemouth to-day. The visitors who were all out for 324 in their first knock, had lost five batspien at the cost of 163 runs when play concluded in a drawn game. New Zealand lacked the capacity to score quickly enough to force a win against accurate bowling and active fielding. After Hampshire declared, New Zealand required 269 runs, in just less than three hours. A Tame Ending. T While Vivian was attacking vigorously, New Zealand seemed likely to win. However, three wickets fell in quick succession after lunch, and New Zealand’s chances receded. Moloney and Donnelly made a good stand, but the scoring rate fell behind the clock, and the match finished tamely in a draw. HAMPSHIRE First Innings 421 Second Innings.

KENT MATCH TO-DAY A STRONG COUNTY SIDE LAST DOMINION TEAM BEATEN The New Zealand cricketers will come up against another strong county to-day, when they meet Kent at Canterbury. If the wicket Is as perfect as it was for the game with Hampshire at Bournemouth, some high scores should be registered on both sides. Four Kentish batsmen passed the 1 ,000 run mark last season while several bowlers came near to taking 100 wickets. A. Fagg Is probably the soundest bat In the side topping the averages last season, his total runs amounting to 1680 in 48 innings. His highest score was 257. Then there is L. E. Ll. Ames, the English test wicketkeeper, who wields a useful bat. Ho turned out for his county in only eight matches last year, but compiled a brilliant century. C. Cole headed the bowling figures but A. P. Freeman should offer the' soundest attack of any of the players. He captured 103 wickets last season. In 1927 the Dominion received a sound beating by Kent in spite of a good start when they scored 326 in their first Innings. .1. E. Mills came to light with 163, which was considered one of the most brilliant centuries ever scored at. Canterbury. Kent replied with 437, F. E. Woolley made 224 and Ames 115. New Zealand’s second knock realised only 159, leaving the county 49 runs to get for victory. Only one wicket was clown when t lie required number was hoisted.
