CRICKET

RESULTS OF SATURDAY'S PLAY NORTH SECURE THREE POINT WIN OVER THORNDON Favourable weather prevailed on Saturday. when the series of cricket matches commenced the previous week were concluded. Generally speaking, tlio play was not inspiring, and scoring was rather slow. The best innings of the afternoon was batted bv Itobinson (North), in the North v. Thorndon match. Wlion piny finished the previous weelc Robinson hint made 25 not out. On Saturday he carried hia score on to 10S, when ho was caught by Prince, off Warne. North had a three-point win over Thorndon, being victorious by art innings and 95 runs. At the conclusion of the first day's play North had lost five wickets for 210 runs, Patrick (21) and Robinson (25) being the two not-out men. These, two players' continued the innings on Saturday, but Patrick was run out after reaching 43. North's total was carried on to 381, principally owing to the fine batting of Robinson. " Thorndon. who had compiled 165 runs in their first innings, were again sent to tho wickets. but they were quickly disposed of for a meagre 104. Carruthers (47 not out), and Moore (36) being the only two hatsmen to reach double figures. Robinson took four wickets for 25 runs, and Middleton two for 18. East had an exciting win over Old Bovs bv 13 runs on the first innings. East had closed their first innings the previous Saturday with a. score of 205 runs, and Old Boys 'had made 6G runs for the. loss of two wickets. Old Boys continued their strike Inst Saturday, Lambert and -Harris being tho bateinen. Lambert, who bad knocked up 41 on tho £rst dav. made another 34 runs before ho was caught by Baker, oft M'Girr. Harris also carried on until ho reached 31. when Fonton accepted a catch. With {be excention of Binnie (21), and Tucker (16). nothing outstanding was_ performed bv the rest of the side, but interest increased as the score mndo by East was being approached. With less than 20 runs renuired to win, Old Boys' hopes cejitred on who was the last man in. ■ Ho had just commenced to settle down after putting on 8, when Baker proved too close to be comfortable. and his innings came to and end Der medium of a catch given to Baker off a ball sent down by M'Girr. Old Bovs' total was 192, as against East's 20.1. Sufficient timo remaining, East went in for a sccond strike, but when stumps were drawn they had made only 122 for the loss of eight wickets. Petone had an easy three-point win, beating Hutt by an innings and 129 runs. When stumps were drawn the previous Saturday Hutt (who batted first) were all out for 81, and' Petone had seven wickets down for 354. This week, on a batsmen's wicket, Petone went in and finished their innings, adding 24 runs, and'bringing the total score to 378. M. Nichoils and Inglis opened, the latter adding six to his previous week's score of 41 before he was clean bowled by W. 'A. Aldersley. Inglis met a similar fate when ho. had reached 8, Cato carrying his hat for 3. Judd wns the most successful bowler of the innings. Hutt went in again to tackle the big hurdle, and sent W. A. Aldersley and Hughes in to face Finlayson and Smyrke. This combination put up a good perforn/ance until Hughes was bowled by Finlayson, the board registering 27. I.«ngford followed and wns sent bade by Finlayson, who scattered his stumps when he bad four runs to his crcdit. \V. A.- Aldersley was this bowler's next victim, being well caught by M. Nichoils after playing for half an hour for 27. Tullett was caught and bowled by Finlayson at 9. Judd started by sending Smyrke to the boundary twice for G on cach occasioni (Hutt's total 100), and had 19 to his credit when the bowler got his revenge by removing tho bails. Doneghuc caught Martin out at ■2, and Smyrke nipped. Lockett's career in'the bud. Seven ivas Lusty's total for. a long stay. ..at .'the "racket, which was ended by ■Finla.ysoh, ••..Ho was followed by A. Aldersley, who plrfyed lunvoc with tlio bowling of Smyrke, knocking up six I's in succession in one over, at the end of which Hutt's total was 135. O'Donohiie relieved Smyrke, and had the effect of steadying the batsman for half a dozen strokes, but the seventh was sent over the fence for six—total 150. As the result of nine hits Aldensley had scored 39 runs and looked like getting a big total, but unfortunately for him his partnership with lkll was severed by the latter scooping the ball up into the hands of Fanning. This ended the game, and Aldersley had to carry his bat. Followins are details; EAST AND OLD BOYS. East.—First Innings 205 , Old Boys. First Innings. Lambert, c. Baker, b. M'Girr 75 Stainton. b.
