SECOND MATCH SERIES.

GREAT DAY FOR BOWLERS.

GRAFTON HAS COLLAPSE

The opening of the second series of rnatches in the A.C.A. senior competition on Saturday, in bright weather and firm wickets, was characterised by a series of unexpectedly low scores. Against University, the Grafton team made an inglorious 4:i in the first innings, Dunning getting seven wickets for 15 runs. University replied with 191. Men took almost all afternoon to make 11)7 against Ponsonby, who lost one wicket for 20. Gillespie scored 94 for Eden. Y.M.C.A. got rid of Parnell for 80 runs, Lyon getting six wickets for 16 runs, and themselves put on 131 runs for nine wickets. Noi th Shore made 152 against United Suburbs, and got rid : of the Suburbs team for 103, Player taking a succession of five wickets at the cost of a single run. PLAYER'S PEAT. SHORE V. UNITED SUBURBS. Although conditions on Saturday were ideal neither of the two teams playing at North Shore produced sparkling cricket. Shore batted first and started badly, losing Bush in the first over. Player and Frater made a good second wicket stand, the partnership yielding 64 runs. Gerrard (15), Saunders (23) and Webb (10 not out) were the only other batsmen to reach double figures, the innings ending for 152. Suburbs started even worse than Shore, and if it had not been for Hendy they would have failed miserably. As it was, they only contrived to scratch in 103 runs, the last wicket falling on time. The feature of the match, however, was Player's bowling. In all he bowled eight overs, the first seven of which were maidens, and took five wickets for one run. No one could hit him. The scores were:— NORTH SHORE—First Innings.

Eden and Ponsonby, who tied for leadership of the senior table last season, met at Eden Park on Saturday, the outcome of an interesting afternoon's play being the dismissal of Eden for the moderate total of 197, Ponsonby scoring 20 for the loss of one wicket. The outstanding feature of the first inningp was s steady 94 by Hector Gillespie, who hit eleven boundary strokes. A sturdy stand vaa made by G. L. Weir and Butler for the ninth wicket, Butler bitting a six off Smith. Details:— EDEN.—First Innings. Mills, lbw, b Roy « Postles, c Sneddep, b Smith —83 B.

Y.AI.C.A. made a poor start, losing their first three wicketa for 20, but they then rallied and carried their total into the eighties before the fourth man went. Y.M.C.A. kept a vacancy in the team for Bowley, who is due to-morrow, and as the ninth wicket fell within two minutes of time they will be able to play him to complete their innings next Saturday. Of Y.M.'s score of 131 to date, Lyon contributed a well-earned 34 and Elliott 29. Scores:— PARNELL—First innings.
