IN OTHER CENTRES (P-.A.) DUNEDIN. April 6. The championship final between AlbionYoung Men’s Christian Association and Carisbrook B was drawn, play being stopped at 5.38 p.m. in failing light. When stumps were drawn Albion-Young Men’6' Christian Association were in an apparently hopeless position, having only one wicket in hand with 22 minutes to bat. Carisbrook had 298 for nine wickets declared, and the other side had made 171 for nine wickets (Dltchfleld 84; Nlmmo, four wickets for 48 runs; Talbot, three for 49). Each team has 40 points, and they will probably be bracketed as winners of the competition. Other points were: Dunedin 36, Old Boys 34, Kalkoral 34, Grange 34, University 30, Carisbrook A 19.

WOMEN’S CRICKET PRACTICE FOR EASTER FIXTURES Two representative women’s cricket matches are to be played during Easter at Christchurch. The Canterbury first eleven is to meet Otago in a match for the Mary Machin Shield; and the second elevens of both provinces will also play a match.

On Saturday the Canterbury first and second elevens were to play a practice game, but through a misunderstanding about where the game Was to be played, the senior team fielded only seven players and the Junior team nine. The batting standard of both teams was disappointing. The second eleven made 42 (V. Brockman 18), and in reply the first eleven made 86 (V. Russell 21 not out, P. Blackler 17). P. Blackler, with four wickets for 11 runs, bowled best for the first eleven and B. Dunn, with two for 4, did best for the second eleven.
