BRIGHTER CRICKET

TALL SCORING IN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP ANOTHER GREAT INNINGS BY INSTITUTE DOUBLE CENTURY TO BANKS SOLID TOTALS BY HUTT AND YMCA. Heavy scoring marked the opening of the second series of club championship matches on Saturday. The weather was ideal, and the rain on Friday night had rendered the wickets easy, and thus presented an opportunity of which the batsmen took full advantage. The feature of the afternoon’s play was the score of 475 for the loss of only five wickets run up by Institute against Wellington at Kelburn Park. Towards this total J.E. Banks contributed the sterling ‘tally of 260, a record for an individual score in local senior championship matches. Banks was leniently treated by the fieldsmen, but nevertheless gave a most exhilarating display, hitting two sixers and making no fewer than forty-six boundary shots. Hutt compiled the solid total of 336 against Thorndon on the Hutt Recreation Ground, and dismissed two of their opponents for 19 runs. also ran past the third century against University at the Basin Reserve; Petone hit up 235 against Midland; and Old Boys strung 228 together against Kilbirnie, getting rid of three of their opponents for 67 runs.

SCORING BY Y.M.C.A.

Y.M.C.A.' gave a sound exhibition of batting against University at the Basin Reserve. Westbrook, after scoring five singles, was bowled by a trimmer from Soilings, bit J. Lamason then assisted Grant to run the score from 25 to 97, when the former was' snapped up bv Nelson off Rollings. He shaped well for his 26. Grant was playing confidently, and scoring steadily with wellplaced shots to all parts of the field. Partnered by Virtue, Grant’s end came, Greig taking a good catch off his own bowling. Included in the retiring batsman’s score of 63 were eight 4’s. Virtue went out at 141, but White and H. Murphy cemented a useful partnership, which. put on 43 run.s At 194 White, who had found the boundary nine times in hitting up his contribution of 52, was caught by Rollings off Mackay. Henderson was smartT> stumped by Mackenzie off Wilson’s slews before he had scored but the brothers C. and H. Murphy then got together nnd carried the total along from 215 to 295. H. Murphv, who scored 83. including eleven boundary shots,' was the first to go, caught bv Wilson off Nelson. C. Murnhy. whose 36 was put together in sound fashion, left before another run had been added. J. W. Condbffe. the last man. joined Haughey, nnd the pair added 25 for the last wicket and were still together when shram were drawn at 6.30, the board then showing 3°o for nine wickets. Haughey laid the wnnd on in running nn his not out in nntok time. 'The ’Vortdtv men worked hard in the field, and the hnwl<w« n1 n! r. ged away with great heart, Hollings, MaoPav. TWilson and Greig meeting with most success.

OLD BOYS SET inr HTRNTE 228 TO GFT.

D. C. Collins and A. Ronaldson gave Old Boys a good start against Kilbirnie at the Basin Reserve by putting on 94 for’the first wicket. Collins, who was making a first appearance this season, was in his best form, and he and Ronaldson rattled on the runs at a good pace. Collins, who hit a sixer and six fourers, was the first to go. well taken in the deep-field by Eaton off V. Christo- , pherson. His even half-century was made in dashing style. Fitzmanrice arrived to see Ronaldson clean bowled by • a good one from Bramley. The outroing batsman hit eight fourers in his bright-ly-comniled 44. K. H. Tucker, who is in fine form this season, made nice strokes /| all round in running to 40. Fitzmaurice. Duncan, Barclay. James, and Blundell all helped towards Old Boys’ final total bf 228. The Christopherson brothers, Armstrong, Marris. and Bramley bore the brunt of the Kilbirnie attack. In the honr remaining for nlay, Kilbirnie scor- 1 ed 67 for the loss of three wickets. Brown was bowled by Blundell risht away, but W. Christopherson then assisted Eaton to take the score to 36. where the latter, who had just reached double figures, was caught by Barclay off Lusk. Partnered by Sykes. W. Chrtetonharson continued to score freely off Blundell. Lusk, Duncan. and Barclay, but. with his total at 42. and with only a few minutes to go to call of time, he was caught and bowled by Blundell.

GREAT SCORE BY INSTITUTE. Institute, at Kelbum Park, once again proved what a strong batting side thi-y are by running up 475 for five wickets against Wellington, whose bowlers included F. T. Badcock, the English coach. Institute opened weakly, Badcock getting Dempster and Burt by the time 21 had appeared. ,Banks and Foley then got together, and, batting soundly and enterprisingly, added 287 for the third wicket. When 50, Banks should have gone from an easy chande at short-leg off Badcock to Whitwell. With the total at 288, Foley, who had shown sound defence in hitting up his useful contribution of 87, was bowled by Maxwell. Hearty applause greeted Banks when ho ran to his three figures. Bell assisted Banks to add 106 for the fourth wicket. Badcock, Craig, Maxwell, and Hiddleston were p-gging away with the ball, but Banks, thanks to several dropped catches, scored freely and confidently. With the total at 394, Bell v who had reached 40, was beaten by a swinger from Badcock. Bilbv, a promoted junior, assisted Banks to keep the H edington fieldsmen on the run. Applause from all round the ground greeted the hoisting of Banks’s double century. The nnir carried the score well past the fourth century, and there was a hearty ch err when Banks passed W. A. Baker’s record score of 256. compiled for' East against North at the Basin Reserve about seven years ago. With his score at

260, Banks, who had bean at the wickets for about four hours, was caught and howled bv Hiddleston. Ho, was heartily cheered for his brilliant performan're, and thoroughly deserved the motion, as he hit a couple of sixers, and no fewer than 46 fourore during his stay at the crease. Bilby and Owen were both going well when stumps were drawn at 6.36, with the score reading 475 for five wickets. Bilby batted nicely for his 36 not out. Badcock bowled for about throe hours in securing three for 145. but his figures would have read much better had he received anything like average support from the field. The fielding was very slack.

PETONE BAT ALL AFTERNOON. Playing on the homo ground against Midland, Petone occupied the crease for the full afternoon, and at the drawing of stumps wore all out for 235. The Petone eleven's turn at the wicket was ' characterised by consistently sound hatting, no fewer than eight of the team ' reaching double figures. J. Patrick was top-scorer with a pretty 48, before succnmbing’to a good ball from J. Hutch- . ings. Brice remained at the wickets ■ for over an hour before skying a ball i into the safe hands of J. W. Hutchings. | The Petone skipper ’ had contributed a sound 32. H. E. Nicholls, bv free scoring all round the wicket, also reached 1 32 before being given out l.b.w. to a | Lail from Dind. A. K. Hamilton, who came in seventh wicket, remained nnI -’ofented for a prettily scored 31. Other double-figure scorers were P. Hardy 21, A. Cate 16, and A. Finlavson 16. Baker gave seven Midland bowlers a turn.' HUTT IN SCORING VEIN. Hutt were in scoring vein against Thorndon on the Hutt Recreation Ground. Though Hughes, Alderslev, and Tattersail had all been sent back bv the i time 24 were on the slate, the advent . of the Hutt captain, H. M. McGirr, put I a different complexion on the game. Associated with A. E. McLeod (the exAucklander). McGirr assisted, to take the score along to 134. when the Hatt captain, who had scored a dashing 60, including eight fourers, was caught by .Foley off Ph’llins. McTeod. after making 42 in attractive style, was bowled by Phillips, and F. Murphy failed to score. Six wickets were down for 136, . when Watson.nnd Nunn became associated, and another long stand was made. Both men played brightly in adding 93 for the. seventh wicket. Watson was in aggressive mood, and baneed four sixers and nine fourers in putting on his score of 64. _ Nunn found the boundary fourteen times in compiling a sterling 76. Shannahnn. Nearer, and Pc«rd nil of. Hired stubborn resistance, and it was not until 336 hnd appeared that the innings came to an end. Phillips was a long way the Lest of the seven howlers tried by Thorndon. He kent good command over the ball in semiring five ter 77 off twelve overs. At call o f time. Thorndon hnd lost Harris and Cummings for 19 runs.
