CAHN’S CRICKETERS MATCH WITH CANTERBURY SENSATIONAL INNINGS (By Telegraph.—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Monday The loss of three wickets in the first over of Canterbury’s second innings was the sensation of the third day’s play in the cricket match against Sir Julien Cahn’s team, which was concluded at Lancaster Park to-day, the game ending in a draw. The fast-medium Surrey bowler Watts did the damage. His first delivery accounted for Menzies, Hadlee was brilliantly caught in the slips ofT j his third and the seventh clean bowled ! Anderson. A fourth-wicket stand by j Donnelly and Shand, which added 91. ! retrieved Canterbury’s position, and after some bright batting the innings realised 233. Sir Julien Cahn’s team, which continued its innings from Saturday, carried its total to 410. giving Canterbury a lead of 54 runs. Hardstaff and Heane increased their sixth-wicket stand to 159, the total being 309 when Heane was caught behind the wickets for 67. HardstafT’s Save Hardstaff finished with 180. He had been in while 343 runs were added i and .undoubtedly saved his side, although he did take a long time to make his runs. Eleven fours were included in his total. Sir Julien Cahn’s team, as on Saturday, took no risks, a little more than one run a minute being the scoring rate. The most successful Canterbury bowlers were Roberts, who finished with five wickets for 107, and Davis, who took four wickets for 68.. For Sir Julien Calm’s team Watts took three for 25 and Madge four for 60. The day was brilliantly fine and, if the scoring was not always as fast as some would have wished, there was plenty of excitement for the fair crowd that attended. The gate-takings were £7O, making £5lO for the three days. Scores: CANTERBURY First Innings 464 Second Innings R. E. J. Menzies, b Watts 0 M. P. Donnelly, c Maxwell, b Walsh 56 W. A.
