CRICKET.

SUBURBAN TOURNAMENT. AUCKLAND TEAM'S WIN. WIXS TO FRANKLIN AND SUBURBAN C. There was n surprisingly large nttenlance yesterday at the Domain when a tart was made with the annual crickel ournameiit conducted by the Auckland Suburban Cricket Association. The wenher was good, albeit a strong wind blew icross. the ground and considerably hamlered the howlers. This assisted the batsnen. several of whom rattled up credit ihle scores, although taken all round the Ticket was not of a very high standard. I'he best scores were credited to It. (Jar■ard, who made tio for Auckland against he Suburban's A team, and 1". Cossey. vho compiled CI for Franklin against Northern Wairoa. In the match between teams representng the Auckland and Suburban Associaions. the former won on the first inniugs fter a very close game by -1 runs. In the Suburban Shield competition two■loint wins were registered by Franklin and Suburban C. AUCKLAND DEFEATS SUBURBAN. The feature of the match between the Auckland and Suburban tennis was tho wretched showing of the Suburban eleven. Auckland batted first and put together 160, which was not a big score, and the task set the Suburban team was by tie means hard. They began fairly well, but with four wickets down they went to pieces, and the whole innings only realised 144. Scores:— AUCKLAND. P. C.errnrd. h Simpson f L.

WELLINGTON'S POOR SCORE. Owing to a late arrival, the Wellington team could not begin the mutch against Suburbs It till -2 p.m., and it was decided that the same should not he counted for the shield. Evidently the men from the South had not cot over the effects of the train journey, as their wickets fell like nine pins. Suburbs 15 rattled on IST for nine wickets, and the ■Wellington men for the same number of wickets only made "•■">. extras being credited with S. the top score. SL'BVRBS B.
