NORTH BEATS EAST

CLOSE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST The big scorn of 395 runs put up by North in tho first innings of their match against East was 'not overtaken by East on Saturday. v East batted disappointingly in its first innings, which realised only reply to North. Midlane (32) and Nash (4fi not out) made fair efforts, but the side as a wholo failed. In the 'second innings East made a better showing—three wickets for 161.' Gibbes 67 and Midlane 48 (both not out), were well set, a.nd looked, pood for a big score. Midlane batted beautifully. The position in the championship con-, lest now is that East leads North by a point. Details of tho play follow:— NORTH AND EAST. North—First innings 393 East.—First Innings. Gibbes, c. Paterson, b.
