C.B.H.S. Well Placed In Auckland Match

“The Press" Special Service AUCKLAND. Fin* swing bowling by the loft-ormer. C. Chambers, Indifferent batting, and a wet pitch, played a large part In the collapse of the Auckland Grammar School first eleven In the metch against Christchurch Boys* High Scheel yesterday, at the Grammar greund. Auckland Grammar was all out for 73, and Christchurch Boys’ High took a powerful grip on the two-day game by scoring 234 in the first innings. The home eleven batted on winning the toss, but was immediately in trouble. Although Chambers, ably supported by D. Phillipson, bowled splendidly. the batsmen too often

did not play down the line during their short stay of 10S minutes. After a fine start by the Christchurch openers, S. Squire (45) and H. Joseph (55), the Grammar spinners. G. Howarth and B. Gemmell, took some cheap wickets, before R. Me Ilroy (30) and R. Hadlee (39 not out) steadied the innings with solid batting. Scores: AUCKLAND GRAMMAR First Innings S. Heard b Phillipson 11 W.
