CITY CRICKET

FOREGONE CONCLUSIONS) EASY WINS FOR EAST & NORTH 'A' great deal of 'the interest was taken I out of Saturday's cricket by the fact that East- and North held such strong - liands against Old Boys and University > that'viotory was almoyt certain to go their way. "Foregone conclusions" rarely prove • interesting, but a fair' number of enthusii asts assembled at tho Basin Reserve to witness the finish of th 9 matches. Both Old Boys and University batted well, but they closed their first innings with heavy deficits standing against them. On the previous playing day --North, made 1 .436 in their first strike, and to- this great'total University replied with 225, ft shortage of 211. North 6ent the College team to the wickdts again, and endeavoured to score a three-point win. In this, however, they failed, but they easily retained tne two points they had secured onthe first innings. In their first innings (a week ago) East ran up 464. Old Boys' first innings last Saturday realised 279, which left East in the lead by 185. Old Boys were sent in again, but East did not make any progress in the attack on.them, and had. to be content with a two-point win. The scoring during the day was very steady. There were no centuries; but quite a number of batsmen registered very creditable totals. Joplin (University) got 80, .Tucker 04,. and F. Beechy 52, and several others neared the half centary. One of the "star turns" was HiddleBtori's catch, which dismissed M'lntosh. M'lntosh, who .fs. a rather free bat, hit one well up Howards the fence, in front of the pavilion. Hiddleston judged, it quickly, and, after a smart sprint back, took it within a. few feet of the fence— a' beautiful piece of fielding. ■ Central' defeated Petone by 122 runs, securing a three-point win. Bowles (Central) was only 7 off his century when Rodgers caught him from a ball by Adleraley. The highest scorer in the Petone eleven was Bold. (30).
