SUBURBAN GAMES.

TWO OUTRIGHT WINS. MOUNT ALBERT OLD BOYS AGAIN. RAIN INTERFERES WITH PLAY. Two outright victories were registered in the second series of Suburban Cricket Association "matches, which was completed at the Domain on Saturday afternoon. The weather, which had been fine early in the afternoon, broke about 5.30 arid heavy rain caused play to be abandoned. Harbour Board scored an innings victory over R.V. In reply to the former s first innings total of 231, the latter made 107 and were forced to follow on. They fared little better in their second knock and we.re all out for 108, giving Harbour Board the game by an innings and 16 runs. Green Lane's first innings produced 215 as against Invicta's 97, so that the latter had- to follow on. Their second mmngs amounted to 126, leaving Green Lane nine to get for an outright victory. Although it was raining heavily, three or four of the Invicta men turned out and bowled easy ones to Scarborough, who hit three boundaries off three balls. Green Lane thus won by ten wickets. Ponsonby were 46 behind Mount Albeit Old Boj's at the conclusion of their innings, and the latter declared their second innings closed with seven wickets down for 67. Rain, however, interfered with their bid for an outright win and t»l"*' was postponed before Ponsonby got started. The position of the teams is as follows: Ch. P. W. L. D. Pts.
