CRICKET WINNERS.

SENIOR COMPETITION. TWO OUTRIGHT VICTORIES. I PONSONBY AND KING'S 0.8. $vro outright victories were registered •when the second series of matches in the second round of the Auckland Cricket Association's senior competition was concluded on Saturday, Ponsonby routing Grafton and King's Old Boys springing a surprise on Eden. In the other games, Parnell scored a first innings win over North Shore and University headed Y.M.C.A. With the wickets sticky for at least the first half of the aiternoon, the advantage was all with the teams which had batted first on the previous Saturday, and in all four matches it was this side which won Accustomed to a long period of fiery pitches and fast outfields, batsmen on Saturday found runs not easy to get. With mostly spin bowlers in action on wickets that helped them the ball needed careful watching, and even when it was got well away it needed plenty of punch behind it to send it all the way to the boundary. No big scores were registered, but in each match good bowling averages were returned. The following table sliows the positions of the teams to date: — Out- Ist No right. Ins. re- Ch. P. W. L. W.

Despite an excellent opening partnership the previous week by Mills and Weir, who had put on 73 for the loss of only one wicket, Eden collapsed completely against King's Old Boys on Saturday. King's, in their first venture, had scored 213, and Eden appeared in a fairly promising position. However, rain overnight resulted in a soft wicket, and this proved a big factor in their defeat. Mills continued to score freely when play opened, but just when he appeared to be well set, he was dismissed by Andrews. He was the only batsman to bat with anything like confidence against the fine bowling of S. G. Smith and Andrews. Carson gave a creditable exhibition in knocking up 28, but the others failed ingloriously, Eden being finally dismissed for 143. a deficit of 70 runs on the King's total. In their second venture King's found trouble with the wicket and compiled only 90. Eden were thus left with 107 to get with about 70 minutes left for play. The innings opened disastrously. Houghton being bowled with only seven on the board, ami from then on the innings developed into a procession, the last wicket falling at 6.10 p.m., with the score at 07. King's thus gained a six-point win. Most of the credit for the victorv must go to the bowlers, S. G. Smith and Andrews, who, with the exception of one wicket to Thompson in the first innings, effected the dismissal of all the ■ batsmen. KING'S OLD BOYS. First innings ...... :......... 213 .

POINTS TO PARNELL.

There was nothing that was partlc.ll- - outstanding about the match in which Parnell scored a first innings win over North Shore. The champions, with a first innings total of 283 to their credit, were fortunate enough to catch the seasiders on a sticky wicket, witli the result that they dismissed them for 103.. After putting on 95 for the loss of four wickets, in their second innings, Parnell -declared In the hope of registering an outright win, but with little morn than an hour to play, the best thev could do was to get six of the Shore wickets for 70. If the wicket and outfield had been as good on Saturday. n« thev were when Parnell made their runs Shore would probably have made a much stronger bid for the first innings honours. .Also, if Parnell had closed their second innings some time earlier than they actually did they might havft reaped full points. An earlier closure could have been applied without risk> and the spectators «, ,!' probably have seen an interesting finish. Both teams were weakened by the absense in Wellington of members playing for the North Island. Parnell being without Whitelaw and Vivian and Shore missing Sale. It was due to a fighting innings by Edmonds (C(i) that Shore saved a follow on The wicketkeeper showed that runs could be got by hard hitting, although, he was fortunate in getting as far as lie did. being dropped once ■ at silly mid-off and giving a couple of stumping chances. <-urtayne (32 not out) and Smith (10) staged a last wicket partnership which definitely sa\ed a follow-on. McCoy found the wicket a good denl to his liking and his spinners won him five wickets for 81. The main features of Parnell s second innings was the display of Stephenson, who hit 30 in boundaries in a tally of u3. PARNELL. First Innings 283 .. Second Innings.

GRAFTON ROUTED. Batting one man short in the first innings and two in the second, Grafton were well and truly beaten in their match with Ponsonby, the hitter recording a sixpoint win. In their first strike Grafton put together 183, but this did not save a tollow-ou, as Ponsonby had a first innings score of 307. In their second effort Grafton made a very poor stand, and the eight wickets contributed only 64, top scorer P elll iv. Horspool with 18. The bright spot i -, °„ bnttin S was provided by Hocken in Grafton's first innings. In about eight minutes he slogged the bowlers for 40 and carr ed his bat. Going in as one of ■ the opening pair in the follow-on, he had three hits for 10 runs, and was then ; caught. All told he made 00. his strokes . being 4. 6, 6. 2, 6, 4, 0, 0, 0, 4, 0. The lonsonby bowlers, Townsend and Snedden, had a day out. They bowled throughout without a change, and secured all the wickets. Townsend in the two innings got nine wickets for 111, and Snedden eight i wickets tor 112. Another unusual incident was that all Grafton wickets in the second innings were secured by catches, and in every instance the fieldsman's initial was L. bcores:— PONSONBY.

Y.M.C.A.'s chance's of overhauling University's total of 318 did not look particularly bright on paper and when they travelled over to the Shore on Saturday they found that the wicket had had all the sting taken out of it by the rain and the outfield was comparatively dead. It was an unfortunate handicap, but apart from this they were squarely beaten. Garrard found the wicket to his liking and he got considerable turn on the ball, mixed his deliveries in his best style, with an occasional wrong one or faster ball, that always had the batsmen anxious. The "young men" started fairly enough. M. I.von and Everson taking the tally from S" to 42, but soon after Garrard took over the ball from Schnauer the opposition was in trouble. Garrard got a wicket in his third over, dismissing Everson, and the following oyer dismissed Cooper before the latter had scored. By the tea adjournment he had taken two more, and including Simpson, who he got on the opening dav. his bag was five for 39. M. Lyon had pegged nway quietly, but just after passing the half-century Bush took his third catch off Garrard and dismissed him. After tea Frater and Hook made useful stands and Scott, a brother of Air., Y.M.C.A.'s usual keeper, also showed some promise. The innings came to an end at ISO, but barring a debacle there was hardly time for University to turn their victory Into a shpointer. The Lyon brothers, T. and 11., were sent out to save the duy and batted brightly for three-quarters ! of an hour. With only twenty minutes left stumps were drawn when n separation was effected with the total at 51. Garrard's tally in the first innings was eight for 00, a first-class performance.

OTAHTJHTX ASSOCIATION. A "FREAK" DECLARATION. LEE AND ARLINGTON WIN JUNIOR. An incident, quite new to the Otahuhu Association, happened in the semi-final of the senior grade competition, when Mount Richmond and Kempthornes United, ly mutual agreement, decided to make the result of their game a six-point one. Both teams "declared" after the first ball in each of the first innings had been allowed to go through .to the boundary for 4. In the second innings Kempthornes United were dismissed for the very small total of 32, Maylett, Kemplay and Bame, usually very consistent scorers, being dismissed cheaply. Mount Richmond replied with 31 for three wickets, thus gaining a six-point win and incidentally the leadership of the competition. Returned Soldiers made a poor showing against Hellabys, losing on a first innings decision when in a strong position in the championship poiius Challenge,, last year's champions, .failed by 4 runs to equal Railways score in a first innings decision. In the junior grade final, Lee and Arlington, playing for the first season in the association, suffered defeat by Trinity United, but had sufficient points in hand to win the championship.
