CRICKET

RICCARTON BEATS ST. ALBANS OLD ROYS TAKE LEAD IN COMPETITION Although no batsman made a century, some good scores were recorded when the sixth round o£ matches in the Canter- ■ burv Cricket Association's • competition was played on Saturday, For the fourth time this season, riin interfered with play, causing a stoppage of 20 minutes early in 1 lie afternoon. As a result the /Awicrs were hampered by a greasy ball I 'conditions rather favoured the batsn, although the light was bad. Two it. /trier Canterbury representative players turned out to help fill up teams. F. A. Smith showed excellent form in making a brisk 26 not out in a quarter of an hour for Lancaster Park, and A. W. Thomas was treated with every respect in his short bowling spell tor Old Boys. I The results of the matches played on Saturday are as follows; 01(1 Bovs. 201 for six wickets, beat Old Collegians 196 for six wickets declared, on the first innings. Riccarton 230 for four wickets declared, beat St. Albans 112, on the first innings. Lancaster Park 224 for four wickets declared beat East Christchurch 192, on the first innings. Army 208 for seven wickets declared drew with Sydenham 144 for eight wickets, West Old Boys 190 for seven wickets declared drew with Air Force 151 for six wickets. West Christchurch, a bye. The taking of the lead by Old Boys from St. Albans is the main effect of Saturday’s games, and the points gained by the teams are as follows:—Old Boys 32, St. Albans 26, Riccarton 22. Lancaster Park 16, Sydenham 14, ’East Christchurch 10. West Christchurch, Old Collegians, Army, West Old Boys 6, Air Force 4. Lancaster Park is the only one of the first five teams which has had its bye. Although runs did not come at a fast rate in the early part of Old Collegians’ innings, J. C. Saunders (63) and C. G. Hamilton (30) gave the side a good start, and later Morten made a fast 35 not out. Hadlee, who took three for 34, was the most successful of the Old Boys bowlers who had to contend with a greasy ball. With less than two hours left. Old Boys had to score quickly, but brilliant batting bv Smith (41) was a good start, which was followed up by Escott (53) and Hadlee (32), and the runs were obtained with time to spare. The Old Collegians’ bowling was not weak, but no one could keep runs down. Riccarton gave a taste of its strength in making the biggest total of the day by enterprising batting. After Bull’s dismissal for 32, Way (87) and Robert (62) added 100 for the second wicket. Way has been a most consistent batsman in recent matches, and Roberts is reaching top form. Besides there ape others who can score fast. St. Albans used six bowlers who had a hard task against batsmen who were looking for runs. Allowing that the Riccarton bowling is strong, the dismissal of St. Albans for the lowest score of the day was unexpected. Dailey (40) was the only one to make a stand against Andrews, four for 37, and Roberts three for 35. Cromb (75) and Timms (50) gave Lancaster Park a good start against East Christchurch, whose bowlers suffered through dropped catches, Cromb especially being lucky. Later Empson made a quick 30 not out. Cromb with six for 51 was chiefly responsible for Lancaster Park’s win, but James (73), Kennedy (40), and Peacock (35) batted brightly. Like Cromb. James gave several chances. Patrick (46 not out), Daniel (35), and Avery (31) were mainly responsible for Army’s useful total against Sydenham, for whom Shaw had most success with the ball, taking three for 65. Sydenham did not make a very good showing with the bat, and Kerr was top-scorer with 34. Of the six bowlers used by Army, Burtt caused most trouble and took four wickets for 27 with his left-hand slows. A stand of 157 for the fourth wicket Joy Phillips (89) and Skinner (62) was ' the highlight of West Old Boys Innings against Air Force, whose catching was not good, and for whom Chapman bowled well to take five wickets for 52. Air Force made only a fair start, but Mackaycame to light with a useful 47 not out and saved his side. The West Old Boys bowling was steady, and Hickling had most success with three for 69.
