SOME EVEN CRICKET CONTESTS

UNIVERSITY DRAWS WITH WELLINGTON

HUTT AND INSTITUTE FINISH ALL i SQUARE

WINS FOR KILBIRNIE AND PETONE

Light southerly weather prevailed for the continuation of the senior cricket championship competition on Saturday afternoon, wickets and outfields, were fast,- and the bat triumphed over the ball. The feature of the play was that in two games at least no decisions were come to, pointing to the fact that batsmen will have to score faster if they want to win matches. Wellington, who had scored 407 for the loss of six -wickets against University on the opening day, declared straight away on Saturday, and the students had no difficulty in occupying the crease at the Basin Reserve for the whole of the afternoon, during which they ran up 312 for seven wickets. The game between Hutt and Institute on the Hutt Recreation Ground also ended in a draw. Institute contented themselves with the 385 for two wickets they had piled on on the opening day, and the Hutt batsmen sat on the splice for the whole afternoon, during which they only scored 2G3 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Petonc defeated Midland by 67 runs on the first innings, and Kilbirnie outplayed Old Boys by 118 runs on the first innings. RESULTS AT A GLANCE. Wellington, 6—407 (declared) ( drew with.

A DRAWN GAME UNIVERSITY BAT SOUNDLY. University did well to make a draw o£ it in their game witli Wellington at the Basin Reserve. Wellington contented themselves with their solid score of 407 for the loss of six wickets and declared straight away. University dijl not open well, as with three runs on the slate Mackenzie was snapped up by Whyte at short-stop off Cousins. However, Nelson and Bailey carried the total to 55, where the latter, who had shaped well for 24, foolishly ran himself out. After getting into doubles Caldwell returned one to slow-bowler Airey and three were down for 86. Leys joined Nelson, and the pair, batting confidently and brightly, put on 71 for the fourth wicket. Here Nelson, who had been most enterprising for his contribution of 72, which included seven boundary strokes, spooned one from Morgan to Hyder at mid-on. Macallan, the ex-Aucklander, assisted Leys to add 30 for the fifth wicket. McLeod, the ’Varsity captain, joined Leys, and the score was quickly taken to 215, where Leys, who had played a stylish innings for 62, was bowled by a good one from the colt Morgan. Bagge and A. C. Tripe both rendered McLeod valuable assistance, and the tally at drawing of stumps was 312 for the loss of seven wickets. It was good solid batting all through. McLeod, who has struck his best form this season, was left unbeaten with 57 to his credit. The colt R. Morgan, who secured three for 19, was easily the most effective of the eight 'Wellington bowlers employed, and had lip been made more use of Wellington might very easily have won this match. Cousins had to be content with two for 71, while Hyder had 66 hit off him without securing a wicket. Johnston and Jennings both proved expensive, and Airey, Hollings and Simpson did not greatly trouble the. batsmen. The match ended in a draw, each team taking four points. The following are the scores: — ■WELLINGTON. First innings, six wickets for 40< (innings declared closed.) UNIVERSITY.—First Innings. R. H. C. Mackenzie, c. Hollings, b. Cousins 3 H. C.

ANOTHER WIN FOR KILBIRNIE OLD BOYS EASILY HEADED. Kilbirnie added another victory to their credit by defeating Old Boys by.llb runs on the first innings at the Basin Reserve. Resuming with five wickets down for 129, in reply to Old Boys’ opening knock of 131, Kilbirnie carried their total to 249. The feature of the innings was a dashing display by the ex-Sydney player, C. Hayman, for 57. He showed sound defence, and picked the balls to have a go at with judgment. He successfully exploited the hook stroke, a shot at -which he is an adept, and also timed his drives to perfection. Brantley, who came in eighth wicket down, assisted Hayman to put on 57 for the ninth wicket, of which Brantley claimed 38 by forceful driving and clever leg-play. Hayman found the boundary eight times, while Brantley hit five fourers. Badcock, Parsloe, and Duncan were the most successful of the Old Boys’ bowlers. Old Boys forced the pace iii the' second innings, hitting up 220 for five wickets in quick time before applying the closure. J. R. Lamason and H. M. Lambert delighted the crowd with their spirited stand for the fourth wicket, which added 99 in quick time. Lambert hit three sixers and seven fourers in rattling on his score of 62, while Lamason, who found the boundary eleven times, was unbeaten with 89 opposite his name when the closure was applied. Ward and Crook bowled well for Kilbirnie, who, in their second innings, lost three wickets for 61 runs. The following are the scores: — KILBIRNIE.—First Innings. I. Greig, c. James, b.

As Institute declared their innings closed with the 385 for two wickets which they knocked up last .Saturday, the game on the Hutt Recreation Ground resolved itself into an attempt by Hutt to keep themselves at the wickets throughout the afternoon. Biggar and Ross went to the crease, and ; though they played somewhat cautious cricket, 111 was up when Fortune bowled Ross, who had scored 47. Biggar only survived his partner by 11 runs and Fortune took his second wicket with the total at 122. Biggar, in his score of 67, hit seven fourers, and gave the brightest display of ; the afternoon. The batsmen who followed did not make anything like the ■ promising totals of the opening pair. . Birch made 29, Lees 25, and MeGirr 22. and McKenzie was not out when stumps' were drawn with 28. The extras, 25, was the only other noticeable item on the score sheet, and at the close Hutt had ■ lost seven wickets for 263, making the match a draw. Henderson was the outstanding bowler, capturing four wickets for 54 runs. Detailed scores were as follow:— INSTITUTE. First Innings (dec.) two wickets for 385. HUTT —First Innings. A. W.

PETONE BEAT MIDLAND HALF-CENTURY TO M. NICHOLLS. Petone continued their innings against Midland at the Petone Oval, Nicholls (27) and Glover (0) resuming to the bowling of Bryant and Robertson. With 11 to his credit the latter stepped out to one of Robertson’s and Tindill stumped him. Rotheram, who was next in, only added a couple before Robertson clean bowled him. Tattersail followed, and 131 went up before Nicholls, who had compiled a nice 57, including eight boundaries, ran himself out. Brice held up his end for a time, but also fell a victim to Robertson, lifting a hard one to Morgan, who held it. Six runs later Tattersail lifted a ball from the same bowler to Roberts and was out for 23, the score being 154. Together Spence and G. Nicholls carried the' total to 173, the former knocking two successive sixers off Baker before Tindill whipped off his bails. Nieholls was still in action when Robertson accounted for Hope after a last-wicket addition of 25 runs. With 131 runs on in their first innings and 198 against them, Midland’!? position was pretty hopeless when they opened the second innings at 4.45 with an hour and three-quarters of play left. Donoghue and Baker took first strike, but the former went suddenly to a twister from Hope without breaking his duck. Baker proceeded steadily. Staudidge was caught off Hope by Smallwood with only a couple against his name, and Tindill. ' joined Baker, but was dismissed just before stumps were drawn. Baker’s score of 75 not out contained eleven boundaries, and Tindill in the course of his Gil also hit half a dozen fourers. Midland’s second innings total was 181 for three wickets. MIDLAND.
