A.C.A. GAMES.

LEADER'S HURDLE. CAN 7 WICKETS ADD 161? EXCITEMENT AT EDEN PARK. ! All fottr matches in the Auckland Cricket Association's senior competition are open content*, and it would merely j be guesswork to designate the winners to-morrow. The leading team in the i 1937 championship, l'onsonbv, was in j quite a strong position close to time at Devanport last week, but two more wickets fell shortly before stump*. The upshot is that the city side now has to add 161 runs for its remaining seven wickets to top the 263 compiled, by Xorth Shore, the champion eleven of the 193.5-36 and 1936-37 seasons. There is bound to be great excitement on the Xo. 3 wicket at Eden Park, where Parnell needs 25 runs for its last two wickcts to heat the moderate 132 tally of King's Old Boys. In the remaining two contests at headquarters Grafton needs 219 for nine wickets to overtake University, while Y.M.C.A.. with all its wickets intact, is 2~>4 behind Eden.
