N.Z.'S FINE WIN OVER SOMERSET.

By SEVEN WICKETS. Another Capital Stand By Wallace and Lamason. COWIE'S FINE AVERAGE. - i ] United Press Association.—Copyright- \ (Received 9.30 a.m.) LONDON". July 2. ' Thanks chiefly to fine bowling by Cowjc, and another splendid partnership by Wallace and Lauia-s-on, New Zealand beat Somerset by seven ' wickets. J When stumps were drawn at the end of the second day's play Somerset, in ; reply to the Dominion's first innings I lead of 150. had 120 runs on the board and had only two wickets down. The , not out men were Lee (51) and Gimblett < (54). The county's second innings closed • for 316, leaving New Zealand with 167 j to pet for victory. The runs were scored for the loss of three wickets. The tourists' win came after another wonderful exhibition of free batting by , Wallace. New Zealand required nearly two runs a minute. Hadlee was enterprising till lie ran himself out. Tindill was just opening out when he played over a good one. I

Carson again was dismissed by a blip catch. Wallace was in dazzling form, scoring at express speed. He hit seven fours and two sixes (including one out of the ground) in his first 50. Altogether he got eight fours and three sixes. Lamason. although aggressive as the opportunity offered, wisely let his more dashing partner have most of the bowling. The pair added 100 in 40 minutes after tea. New Zealand won with nearly half an hour to spare. Somerset's second innings was distinguished by a patient century by the left-hander, F. S. Lee. Another great exhibition of sustained pace was given by Cowie. and of brilliant catching behind the wickets by TindilL C'owie bowled nobly. At lunch his figures were 21 overs, 4 maidens, 43 runs, 4 wickets, against the top batsmen on a perfect pitch. ' Wallace added another to an imposing collection of scalps for run-outs from cover-point. Good catches were made by Dunning in the slips and Carson in the long field: while Tindill made two fine efforts on the leg side, including one to which he had to dash across several yards.
