CITY CRICKET

GIBBES MAKES 135 FINE BOWLING BY TUCKER Three senior cricket matches wero' played on the Basin Reserve on Saturday afternoon. One of the chief features was tho heavy defeat of Pctono by East. Potone's first innings, on tho opening day of the match, had yielded only 121 runs. Bast's answer was an innings of, 240 runs, 135 of which contributed by Gibbes. Gibbes, who has regained the form which brought him into prominence some years ago, gave an excellent display of batting. He treated 1 tho Petone bowling with much disrespect, but at length Brico got him caught out. A little after 5 o'clock Pctoue opened their second innings,' and tho East bowlers did such deadly work that when stumps were drawn at fj o'clock seven of the subur- i han wickets had fallen for 101 runs.

Central made' a poor showing against North, and wore decisively beaten. The only question was whether North would secure a 3-point win before tho timo limit arrived. They, beat the clock by a few minutes. Trentham's second innings against Old Boys brought 'thorn only 73 run's—one more than they made ill "their first innings. K. Tucker registered the very fine howling perform-ance-of seven wickets for 12 runs. He had the 'whole of the batsmen puzzled throughout the innings. '& ■' • EAST AND PETONE.
