CITY AND SUBURBAN.

ONE GAME ALREADY OVER!

PONSOITBY'S STIFF TASK. CHAMPION WILL HAVE TO "STEP ON IT." . To-morrow's cricket at the Domain will wind-rip the second series of the Auckland City and Suburban A«*ociation's senior first round. Brixton was dismissed, for 110 last week, and with Green Lane 148 for the loss of only two [Wickets an innings victory seems assured. The only real interest left is whether R. Robinson will top the century—he needs nine more runs. Roskill, despite vigorous attack by "Rangi" Finlayaon. the 10*28 New Zealand representative fast bowler, eventuallv reaehed 142. On paper this looked easy for the J93G-37 champion team, but R.V. had lost four wickets for 19 when stumps were pulled. Woods accounted for three of these, and his side is hoping that he will carry on with the good work when the game is resumed to-morrow. N. Lendrum'e 04 enabled Manukau to finish with the respectable tally of 229. and although Ponsonby has 20 on the board without loss, there is still a iong way to go. Lower grade teams for to-morrow :— MANUKAU. Second Grade. —Burd. Lonjfrille. R. Mitchell, Barnett, Ralnsford. Alexander. Arm*tron«r. Xoonan. Cardwell. Yates. Sauvarin. Third Grade.—Stewart. L.
