gKCEKPKOVINCIAL MATCH CANTERBURY V. WELLIMiTON CENTL'RY BV ALLHN ' 't'l'ler perfect weather and ground w £>tlons Canterbury improved an already favourable position on Saturday by heading Wellington's first in.nin.qs total by 44 run.', and I hen dismissing the visitors for HW. The play was interesting, v/itli some exceedingly bright patches of bailing'.. and a line bov.'lin;.; performance by Iti ley. the Sydenham left-hand bowler. The uround was si ill in beautiful order, and the wicket played as true as on the previous day. Indeed, it looked as ihuuyh it would last through a week's play. There was a poor attendance for a Saturday afternoon, and the fact that the grade matches were all in progress did not help it. It waS early apparent that Canterbury would net a first innings lead, notwithstanding' Wellington's good total 0I 305. The first partnership of (he day practically assured this, to,- the Allen-Hadlee combination, which had put on 27 on the previous day. carried on a partnership that added 1(11. It was a contrast of styles: Allen, whilst showing sound defence in has somewhat unorthodox style, was always looking for the runs, and though some uf his strokes —like his defence -were not quite orthodox, many of them were well timed and well made, and they invariably had a wcaith of power behind them. In addition to this he was a "live wire" between wickets, and had he had a partner with as much energy .many more runs would have been gathered in. His century was an exceedingly popular effort. In direct contrast to Allen's spirited display was Hndlee's staid and careful inning's. He was the stylist, both in his defence and scoring strokes. His defence was sounder than Allen's, and he seemed to be complete master of the bowling throughout his long innings. His scoring strokes were made, with hardly an exception, gracefully and eorrectl*, and the only fault that could be found with a very sound and good display was that he was over cautious as to what balls he should try to score off. 11. was a very good innings, and he was unlucky in not getting the coveted three figures. It was well for Canterbury that this stand put the side in a good position for the succeeding batsmen slumped rather badly. Smith shaped promisingly in getting his 16, but Riley, the only one of the others to reach doubles, appeared likely to be caught, in the slips from the way in which he was flicking at the off balls. Wellington made a good showing in the field. Grifliths had the best bowling figures and thoroughly deserved them.' He kept a good length, and sent down fewer loose balls than bowlers of his type usually do. His length balls l'remier.tly had the batsmen guessing, for tncy whipped in /'rem leg and made great pace off the ■' vlch. He is a bowler of distinct promise. Blundell was easily the best of the faster bowlers, though strange";, enough he failed to get a wicket, fie kept a beautiful Jenytli. with \vvy few loose ball?. The Wellington fielding, with a fev. exceptions, was \H\ght and clean, and every man on Wwside was a trier. TindiJl's Hatting There was only one really bright batting performance in Wellington's second knock, Tindill'.s innings standing out as the bright spot in an otherwise somewhat drab display. The left-hander played really beautiful cricket, and lie alone of all the side made the bowling look easy. Only the very best balls escaped punishment. Everything' else was dealt with merciles?lv and with beautiful stroke.: all round the wickel. It was a thoroughly attractive display. James'.. 44 was a spirited knock, with sound and careful defence and quite a good repertoire of scoring strokes. O'Brien again batted sound!;.', but was not nearly co aggressive as in the first, inning!;. Canterbury's Out-Cricket Canterbury's out-cricket, certainly | as far as the fielding was cnnc'Tiied. ,

was :i fircal impro\emen! on that of j the lii'st iiimir;.-.. There was lav U\ s i tumbling, and most of tin.' men at times did brilliant work. Of the bowline; it. mav be said that it was a triumph for Riley. Thai he bowb'ii j unchanticd for 2i; over.- was elecius'e j 'estimonv to his steadiness. He kept j a fine length, and his nippy break and variation of pace always made him , look difficult. Allen's wicketkeepm.". I was a feature of the out-criekcl. As I i'l the first iniiin-is. only one bad | passed him I'm- byes, and both hj, , stu.T.piiii's were fine el. oris. | THK I'LAY Canterbury's to.al stood at 14V fori three wickets when Hadlee '2t> and ) Allen 119» resumed Canterbury's first j

mnings to the bowling of Parsloe i from the north end and Llundell. | The former's len;;th was erratic, but , the batsmen failed to make the bes' r ;f it, and only nine came from the | llf st four overs." Parsloe then chane.e.J j to round the wicket, with six men nui the leg side. Blundell was keeping | j> n excellent lenefh, and little could : bo done with him. but Allen varied | 'he slow play bv off driving Parsloe i W three.

Smith scored four for a square cut and Riley opened his account with a like stroke. A beautiful off drive took Smith into doubles. Riley got there with a cover drive for four. Newman moved Crook from the on to second slip and Riley put a catch into the very spot. 338—8—11. Alexander partnered Smith, and scored four for a late cut. Smiths end came when he went out to play Griffiths, and was stumped. 348—9 16. Andrews, last man. made a single but then Alexander fell to a splendid! catch in the slips by Parsloe. who fell I face down as he snapped up the catch I within inches of the ground. The : innings had occupied just, less ihan' four and a half hours. ' Wellington's Second innings j DuMin and Tindill opened Wellington s second innings and Smith opened! the bwwlmg from the south end.

Tindill reached 20 and scut 30 up with a single. Andrews replaced Smith, and Tindill banged a short one from Cromb to the leg fence. Crook reached doubles with a pair, and then off' drove I Andrews finely for four. Another boun- I dary to Tindill sent 40 up for 25 min- | utos' play. The batsmen were making the bowling look simple, and at 52 Rilev relieved Andrews. The scoring then slackened considerably. Crook scored four for a ball that beat him and wa - a possible chance to the wicket- i

keeper, but then a mishit gave Rilev •' an easy eateh oil' his own' bowling, US!-2- 24. EH followed and Tindill i cemented the partnership bv hitting a I'till-toss to leu. A beautiful off drive! gave him another four. Ell had not ' scored when he stepped out to drive Riley. He missed, and Allen did a ! smart bit of slumping'. 7R—:!-- 0, ] O'Brien joined Tindill. and the latter j passed the 50 mark with a four to leg. O'Brien opened his account with a four i to square let;, and at Bli Alexander) spelled Crumb. The change was j disastrous to Tindill. He stopped out I to play one. but missed, and was back! 1 like a Hash. But Alle/i was even i quicker, and (he board showed D 1—4—55. Morgan filled the gap. and gave Hadlee a dillieult catch at cover, which, was missed. A lucky pair to O'Brien | 1o line ley sent 100 up for an hour and | 10 minutes play. Morgan ran to I doubles with ;i pair, but then went! for a close single and Smith with a| tine shot threw his wicket down. | 114—5 —10.

Tan-ant, who umpired the first I two tests in India told an interviewer when he was asked his ooinion on I what is called bodyline bowling in j Australia and leg-theory bowling in j England, that not having seen the matches in Australia, he was under the impression that it was Irg-lhcory bowling as practised by F, R. Foster and ■ G. 11. Hirst, and quite justifiable, j After seeing it exploited in India i under the guidance of D. R. Jardine. he came to the conclusion that it. \va/ ciuite wrong. l-c had had a chance of seeing and hearing things, and now he- was definitely satisfied that E. W. Clark bowkd at the batsmen with the intention of intimidating them. When the Yuvaraj of Paiiala gol a four, the next ball' narrowlv misted his head. lie uof .-mother four and again the next ball just missed his head. Had the young prince been hit. the crowd would probably have rushed the ground. Jardine realised this and took Clark cfT. Clark had onlv bowled one over when he hit J. Naoomal.
