After ’being postponed for a week, tr.e senior cricket competition v/as resumed on Saturday, when the third round of the new competition v/as played. The weather v/as fine and the wickets generally In good order. Scoring all round was not high, only two teams making more than 200. The relative positions of the teams have changed little as a result of Saturday’s games, Riccarton is still the only team which has won all its games, and it head.-, tr.e table by four points from Lancaster Park. St. Albans is now in third place ahead of East Christchurch, with Oid Collegians now fifth ahead of the other teams which have not yet v/on a game in this series. Riccarton had an easy win over Eat Christchurch, which was one short. A W. Roberts, with 82, was the biggest contributor to Riccarton’s score of 214 for . seven v/ickets declared. J- Jacob.-; f 45) ano G. H. Stringer )42) also batted well. T. . Kennedy was the most successful East Christchurch bowler, taking five f<# 51 Against the bowling of Roberts, who com- , pletcd a fine double with five v/ickets for | 21. East Christchurch fared badly, making \ only 93. R. Commons (31) and T. Waine i (21) batted best. i A score of 93 by I. B. Cromb was the I feature of Lancaster Park's 131 for seven j wickets declared against a very muen weakened Sydennam side. G. P. Dryden; with 21 runs was the next highest scorer, i Bowling for Sydennam, L. A. Butterhe.a . v/ith five v/ickets for 49 was the most sue- , cessful bowler. Sydenham, batting one j short, made 136, Butterfield again doing I the best with 37. Bowling for Lancaster, Park, K. J. Read took five for 60 and \ Cromb three for 41. ; P. J. Byme (81) and H. E. Denham ()7) gave Ola Collegians a fine start against Old Boys v/ith a partnership of 159 for the first wicket,'but the side then slumped, [ and eight wickets v/ere down for 214 when | the innings v/as closed. H. R. Escott, four! for 48, and I. Patrick, two for 26, were, the best bowlers for Old Boys, who coula ■ make only 102, R. E. J. Menzies (28) and W. McD. Anderson .(19 not out) being the chief scorers. Bowling for Old Collegians, P. H. T. Aipers took four for 22 and S. G. Lester two for 7. Batting first against St. Albans, West Christchurch made 136, G. R. Gregory batting well for 51. A. Mitchell, a newcomer to the side, also showed good form in making 25. E. Mulcock maintained his form for St. Albans, taking six v/ickets for 43. E. G. Batstone, with 67, showea the best form for St. Albans, which scored 162. T. Burtt (24) and C. G. Crawford (23) also did v/eil. W. Bird, with four v/ickets for ll runs, bowled excellently for West Christchurch, for whom E. Taylor took three wickets for 48. The following are the positions of the teams:—
WEST CHRISTCHURCH v. ST. ALBANS ! West Christchurch, batting first, failed to, make the most of an unresponsive pitch, and the batsmen were out for 138, a total far smaller than appeared likely ■when 90 was on the board with only two wickets down, Gregory hit nine fours, and appeared to be at his best, but was smartly stumped off Burtt, Mitchell, a newcomer and left-hander, played a sound innings, but was out in a manner similar • to Patrick, another left-hander—playing back to a rising ball on the leg stump. McCann, at short leg, accepted the two easy chances. Mitchell, a -product of Nelson College, did not get much of the bowling in the first part of his innings, but later employed a powerful off-drive to good effect. Taylor, who is a left-hand bat and who bowls with his right, played a confident innings, but a devastating spell of bowling from Mulcock left no one to stay with him. Though Mulcock bowled steadily in nis first spell, he lacked venom. In his second «peM, however, he caused the ball to rise quickly alters a disconcerting swing through the air, Mulcock’s figures were transformed utterly from none for 30 to five for 33. He finished with six wickets to his credit at a cost of 43 runs. Williams (131 hit out enterprisingly. Tucker bowled steadily, but Burtt bowled too many over-pitched balls. The St. f Albans fielding was keen, and McCann,, when on the boundary, made some good saves. The innings occupied 121 minutes. With Crawford temporarily out of action by reason of an unfortunate bumper from Williams, and Armstrong out at 16, St. Albans made a bad start. Batstone played delightful cricket, however, and with Nelson took the. score to 33 before the latter was caught by the wicketkeeper. McCann was never confident. but the 50 was raised In even time. St. Albans lost two wickets quickly, and Crawford returned to help Batstone In the best batting of the day. Crawford gave hard chances at two and 13, but his late cuts and the manner In •which he used his feet to Taylor, the slow bowler, deserve commendation. Batstone’s was the best innings of the day. He gave rio chance until 62, when the fieldsman had to run straight into the sun to field a lofty drive. Batstone got many of his runs with beautiful shots behind the wicket. When Batstone was out St. Albans required one to win, with three wickets to fall. After Crawford’s downfall, West worked hard, but their effort was too late. The only bright spot in the latter half of the St. Albans innings was the batting of Burtt. who hit 23 off one over from Taylor. He mode 24 in 17 minutes. Bird clean-bowled the last three batsmen in one over, but they were all attempting to get runs or get out. Williams was disappointing; he bowled consistently short of a length, but Taylor kept them well up and thoroughly earned his three wickets. Bird was extremely steady, and with the help of three quick wickets late in the innings, finished with four for II over nine overs—a very creditable effort. The West Christchurch fielding was patchy.

EAST CHRISTCHURCH A feature of the match between Riccarton and East Christchurch at Hagley Park, won by Riccarton by 121 runs, was the fine batting and bowling display of A. W. Roberts, the Canterbury and New Zealand representative. Roberts, who went in third wicket down, soon became firmly entrenched and hit freely all round the wicket. He batted for one hour 32 mmute&*. and when he was caught in tao deep by Quaid, who had previously taken a brilliant catch there, ho had knocked up 82. including eight fours and two sixes. His bowling average was five for 21. Riccarton declared with 214 for seven, when Roberts was dismissed at 4.13 p.m. All the Riccarton v/ickets fell to the slow bowlers, T. Kennedy (five for 51), R.

Soon after, Mullan took over the bowling for East, and his fourth ball was hit by Jacobs to deepfine leg, where Commons took a good catch, ending the partnership at 69. Jacobs’s score of 45 included four fours. The next batsman. Stewart, did not last long, and fell a victim to Kennedy, a slow, tricky bowler, going ibw. Stringer, with his left-handed batting, maintained Riccarton’s good opening score, and 100 was on the board after 75 minutes’ play. Kennedy again went on for East Christchurch. and Stringer was clean-bowled in his fifth over. Stringer’s score of 42, compiled in onp hour 25 minutes, included five fours. Powell v/ent in and made a six, after which he was caught by White off Kennedy. A few minutes later Coupland caught Fairbairn, who made 18 in eight minutes. Rose’s wicket was the next to fall, a brilliant eaten being taken by Quaid. . , ~ , . East opened confidently, but Coupland fell a victim to the fast right-handed bowler. Fairbairn, by whom he was caught when he had made five. T. Walne joined Commons, and the partnership was ended when 39 was on the board, Waine being clean bowled by Fairbairn. After 53 minutes’ play East had scored 50. Kennedy’s and White’s wickets fell to Rooerts, the score for five wickets down being 72.

Newton, and A, D. Park were not playing, and N. Burtt, one of the best bowlers In the side, was not able to be present in time to do any bowling. There was not much excitement in the game, which Lancaster Park won by 45 runs, making. 181 rtms for seven wickets (declared), while Sydenham, batting oner short, made 130. A feature of the game was tVie innings of 98 of the Lancaster Park captain, I, B. Cromb. This is the second time in as many matches that he has just missed scoring a century, he having made 96 against Old Boys in the last round. Indeed, this is the fourth occasion this season that a Lancaster Park batsman has just missed the century by a few runs, R. C. Shand doing so with 94, also against Sydenham, and 97 net out, against Old Collegians. Cromb was slow at the start of his innings on Saturday, and although he gave no actual chances he did not bat as well as in the previous match, * jSls first 80
