PONSONBY»S FIRST DEFEAT.

COX IN GOOD FORM. The completion of the,fourth series of matches under the A.S.C.A. control at the Domain on Saturday saw Harbour Board and Victoria register outright wins against Ellerslie and Glen Eden, while Green Lane defeated Ponsonby ca the first innings. For Harbour Board a fine innings of 75 not out was played by L. Turner, who was largely responsible for the seors going to 208. The absence of fou- El-

lerslie players enabled Harbour Bo;ird to get the three-point win. Glen Eden's batting was weak, only Clarke (49) showing more than average form against the bowling of Stallworthy and Manly. Victoria, naving a lead of 90 on the first innings hit up 138 for eight and declared, and thus had a comfortable outright win by D 9 iuns. ■Ponsonby made a good start toward getting the 257 runs made the previous week by Green Lane, for Innes (70) and Cooper (34) for the fourth wicket took the score along to 150. Then Cox, who had been bowling steadil/, got in and the remainder of the batsmen were dismissed for less than 50. Cox got the fine average of eight for 57. Green Lane's second innings of 145 was notable chiefly for a bright 74 by Cox, and Green Lane won on the first innings. The points in the competition now are: Harbour Board 8, Ponsonby 7, Victoria 6, Green Lane 4, Glen Eden 2, Ellerslie 2. . Detailed scores are:— PONSONBY V. GREEN LANE.
