MID-WEEK MATCH FINALS,

AUTILLERY ON TOP,

The ninth and final round,of tho senior mid-weok competition was concluded oir the Basiu Eeservo yesterday afternoon. The wickots were in capital order, but the'tatting all. through , was . very poor. In tho first innings of Oriental tho only player who, reached double figures was Mastors, while Artillery lost five wickots for'l6. For Rivals there .were-only-two scorers of any consequence— (ieorgo (33) and "Mr. Extras". (24). Per/contra, of course, sonio fine bowling performances were put up, tho. prominent trundlors being Smith (Artillery), Cording,' Beard, ■ M'Girr,' and Dempsey. ' : ' . Tho Artillery-Oriental match resulted in a win for tho former by 61 runs. Artillery had a load of 153 runs on the first innings,' but instead of making Oriental follow on, thoy decided to bat, and, after losing five wickets for 18 runs, closed their innings. Oriental, .wanting 170 nine to win, could only" n*ake 108. Masters-had the bad' luck to be run out. when ho was playing well. .Union dofeated Rivals by 88 runs. Theformor had a load of 46 runs on tho first day's play, and.in their second innings they "made 109. Rivals waafed 156 runs to win, but with the exception of George none of them could do any-thing-with the bowling of M'Girr (who has taken 50 wickets this season , for 434 runs) and Ryan. They were all out for 67. Tho'decision'that gave Crouch out"l.b.w. was a b?d one, as tho ball was breaking right away to leg. _ Artillery wins the competition with a record number of points. The following nre tho points 'scored:— Artillery, &; Rivals, 14; Union, 14, Oriental, i<
