PLUNKET SHIELD MATCH

WELLINGTON DECLARES OTAGO DISMISSED FOR 198 VISITORS’ MODEST SECOND INNINGS By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, February 1. The Plunket Shield match between Otago and Wellington was continued today in ideal weather. Lowry, the Wellington skipper, closed the visitors’ innings at the overnight score of nine'for 283, and the home team opened its strike with the wicket playing quite well, being disposed of for 198. At the drawing of stumps Wellington’s second innings had yielded 122 for the loss of six wickets. Shepherd did a good day’s work for Otago, making 52 before he was bowled by Baker, and Knight was unlucky to be run out when he was 3. AUoo made a needed 36 in two hours and a half, and Dunning made a valuable seventh wicket stand, while Elmes made 40 after giving two or three chances. Dunning’s 29 was compiled in refreshing style. Badcock, with four wickets for 41, headed the bowling averages, and served his side well by keeping down the runs when he .could not get wickets. McGirr (two wickets for 56) bowled soundly and steadily, and the other three wickets fell to Baker at a cost of 50 runs. The Otago innings closed at 3.30, and after tea Wellington commenced their second innings, Foley and - Baker losing their wickets for 11 runs. Lowry and Hollings made a good stand, but*both fell to Moloney, and Badeock was out l.b.w. before he got going. At stumps the score was six for 122 (McGirr 15 not out). Otago at the Wickets. Shepherd and Knight opened the home team’s strike, the former facing McGirr, and cutting him for three straight away. Badcock' took the ball at the other end, and put his faith in leg theory, Knight giving him a maiden, Shepherd following suit in his next over. Both bats-, men, however, began to treat him with less .respect, and Knight looked like staying when a misunderstanding proved his downfall; He failed to get back to his crease in time and was run out. 9 — I— Cavanagh was the incomer, and arrived to see Shepherd pull McGirr for four. Badcock sent up another maiden, and Shepherd brought 20 up by pulling MeGirr to the boundary again. Badcock had bowled six overs for one run when Cavanagh turned him for one, and Shepherd drove him for another. Cavanagh was two when Foley dropped him in the slips, and then Shepherd brought 30 up by driving Badcock to the on boundary for four, following it up with another from the fast bowler for four. Shepherd himself Was now 30 and when the halfcentury appeared he had scored 45 and Badcock had bowled nine lovers for 12 runs. Shepherd reached 50 by squarecutting Henderson for four, and. when 51, touched one from the same bowler. The ball hit Lowry’s gloves and bounced off, Foley just failing to get to it in time. Cavanagh reached doubles with a single off Baker and then Shepherd played the same bowler on to his wicket. 70 —2—52. He had batted for 68 minutes and his score included eight fours. MsMullan joined Cavanagh, who did not stay with him long, a ball from McGirr yorking him. 76-—3—l6. Moloney joined McMullan and the rate .of scoring became slower. McGirr was keeping a steady length and eventually annexed McMillian’s wicket, the batsman being caught in the slips by Foley. 79— Useful Partnership. Alloo was the newcomer and arrived in time to see Moloney’s wicket skittled by Badcock. 79 —s—l. Elmes joined the Otago captain and gave Badcock another maiden. He had bowled 12 overs for 12 runs, 9 of which came off one over. The partnership proved profitable and at luncheon, with 100 up, both were well set, Elmes doing most of the scoring. After the adjournment Elmes had a narrow escape. He appeared to be caught in the slips by Foley, but the umpire gave him not out. A quiet spell followed, four successive maidens being bowled bv Badcock and McGirr. Elmes reached 30 after very nearly cutting one on to liis wickets. Baker and McGirr were sharing the bowling erease. Elmes gave a chance at 35, skying one to Baker at leg, but the fieldsman had to run for it and look into a strong sun, and the ball fell in front of him. Badcock eventually accounted for him at 40, Elmes lifting him into Lamason’s sure hands at long-off. 135—6 40. Elmes had batted for 62 minutes. , Dunning, the next man in, delighted I the crowd by lifting Badeock out of the ground for six. He reached 10 by driving Baker to the fence, and Alloo reached 20 with a single off the same bowler. After being at the wickets for an hour and a half, Dunning reached 20, and brought 160 up by pulling Henderson to the fence. The scoring became more rapid. After helping Alloo to add 46 for the seventh wicket, Dunning was bowled by Badcock. 181—7 29. Badcock had taken three wickets for 33 runs off 26 overs. ... t . Groves joined Alloo, but did not stay lone. He had scored seven when he lifted Baker high over the bowler’s head, nnd Hollings took the catch. 190—8— 7.

A TALL SCORE-

M.C.C. v. HAWKE’S BAY ENGLISHMEN MAKE 511 \ ■■ 1.1 DOUBLE CENTURY BY DULEEPSINHJI By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, February 2. Perfect conditions prevailed for th» commencement of the M.C.C.’s match against Hawke’s Bay yesterday. The wicket was hard and fast. When Gilligan won the toss he decided to bat, and then for the remainder of the day the largest crowd at a cricket match in Napier for several years saw a fine exhibition of batting by the Englishmen, particularly Duleepsinhji, who gave easily his best display on the tour. His batting was an education and the manner in which he played his strokes on both sides of the wickets was 'a treat to watch. Every stroke had the finish and polish of a cricketer of high dass. For his 242 he was at the wickets 189 minutes and he made 41 boundary shots. Three Down for 107. When Hawke’s Bay secured the first three wickets for 107 runs prospects looked promising, but it was Duleepsinhji and Benson who put a different complexion on the game. The latter was content to play very steadily while his partner made the runs. Benson reached 55 in 107 minutes before he went out l.b.w. The partnership realised 210 runs. After Gilligan and Duleepsinhji went the batsmen went for the bowling. Nichols’s 46 was an attractive one, and then Woolley and Earle put on 50 in 14 minutes. Earle’s total of 40 Included five 6’s. Ho showed himself to be a very powerful hitter. Both he and Woolley were caught on the boundary when attempting big hits. Home Fielding. A word of praise, is due to the Hawke’s Bay eleven for the excellence of their fielding. They had a heavy day’s work, but if the batsmen gave any chances at all they were accepted. Hawke’s Bay, with only fifteen minutes to go, opened the innings disastrously. O’Brien chopping the first ball received from Nichols into his wieket. Evans and Stephenson then played out time and added fifteen runs. Detailed scores are as follow:— M.C.C.—First Innings. Bowley, c. Reaney, b.‘ Kavanagh .. 42 Dawson, c. O’Brien, b.

second over brought him another wicket. Hollings lifted him hard to mid-off, where Alloo took a fine catch. 86—4 —84. Moloney had taken two wickets for seven runs off nine balls. The Lowry-Hollings partnership had produced 66 runs in a few minutes over the hour. McGirr and Cameron seemed to relish Moloney's bowling, and 100 was not long coming up. With the total at 110 Cameron passed 20, while McGirr continued with the very steady batting that marked his opening over. He reached doubles when he drove Lemin hard for three. With the total at 118 the fifth wicket fell, just as the partnership looked likely to be dangerous. Cameron played a ball from Alloo into the slips, where Dunning held an easy catch. 118 —5 —25. Badtock Out for Two. Badcock now joined McGirr. and had made only two when a partnership which Otago had reason to fear was broken. Badcock put his leg in front of a straight one from Dunning,and was out l.b.w. 121 —6 —2. Ward was the next man in. and the pair played out time, the score at stumps being six for 122. WELLINGTON.

NICHOLLS GOOD BOWLING BY COUSINS After an interruption due to the playing of the second Test match between M.C.C. and New Zealand, on the Basin Reserve, the Wellington , Cricket Association’s intcr-club matches were resumed on Saturday. The day was fine (except for a few light showers in the Ilutt Valley), though made somewhat unpleasant by a cold southerly. The outstandfeatilro of the afternoon was the great effort made by Petonc, who, resuriung with five wickets down for 15 runs, compiled 255 runs, only 43 runs short of Wellington’s total oi 298, ill. Nicholls and Glover were responsible for 164 runs’. The thorn in I’etonc’s side was the bowling ol Cousins who captured seven wickets at an average of under ten runs apiece. There were two centuries made in the course of the afternoon. Tiie scoring, generally, on Saturday was not l]igh.

Sound batting by Dempster and Bilby, with valuable assistance by Massey and Wareham, enabled Institute to total 306 runs for six wickets; at which stay they declared their innings closed. They were not able, however, to do better than secure a win on the first innings, as Old Boys held the fort for the remainder of the afternoon, and when stumps were drawn had made 101 for the loss of three wickets.

UNIVERSITY BEAT KILBIRNIE A LAST-MINU.TE VICTORY. A great innings by Hepburn was the main item in Kilbirnie’s vain effort to surpass the total of 333 which University had knocked up for eight wickets before declaring. Going in as an opening batsman he remained at the crcas until shortly before the end, when he was caught by Blandford. His score was 112 and it included seven boundaries. Withbut his effort the Kilbirnie scoresheet would have been a sorry sight. Crook was the only other man to make any kind of a stand against the students bowling, and he compiled 53. lhe end came just on the call of time, when Tucker’s stumps were disturbed by Macallan, leaving University a win on the first innings. ’ , . .

WELLINGTON BEAT PETONE ■ M. NICHOLLS MAKES A CENTURY. Despite the fact that Wellington registered a five-point win over Petone in the continued match on the Petonc Oval on Saturday the latter team made a great recovery and looked at one stage as if they might win. The previous Saturday Wellington knocked up 298 in the first innings, while the best thnt Petone could do was 15 runs for the loss of live wickets. On Saturday, however, Petone played a fine game, making 255. G. Nieh611s, who was a substitute for Glover, went in with M. Nicholls (0 not out), but ho did not. stay long at. the wicket, an injury to his leg through being struck with the hall when he had made seven runs causing his retirement. Glover came on in his place and after half an hour fifty runs had been made. The partnership was n long one with botli mon playing steadily and taking no risks. After an hour and a quarter of play a hundred

runs were on the board, while at the tea adjournment Ibc score was 138 (M. Nicholls 51 and Glover 51). When the men went, to the crease again runs came more quickly. Various bowlers were tried without success. When Glover had reached 62 he was bowled by Cousins, who was always dangerous with _ the ball. Glover hit nine fours. Nicholls’s total of 102 also included nine fours. He took a chance when that score had been reached from a ball bowled by Cousins and was eaught by Hamilton. Nicholls played great cricket and was loudly applauded for his splendid effort. Glover also received an ovation. The next best scorer for Petone was R. Hope, who made 25. He was batting well. and looked like making a stand witii G. Spence (22), when he was declared out l.b.w. Cousins, wjio bowled splendidly, captured seven of Petonc’s wickets for 65 runs, three of which were taken for four runs the previous Saturday. The following are the detailed scores: WELLINGTON.

HUTT BEAT MIDLAND WIN ON FIRST INNINGS. The match between Hutt and Midland was concluded at Hutt on Saturday afternoon, Hutt winning on the first >ll- - Several light showers of rain fell during the afternoon, but play was not interrupted. The wicket was in good order although the outfield was somewhat on the heavy side. On the previous Saturday Hutt compiled 252 runs. Midland commenced their innings a few xniuutes before the drawing of stump)s and in the time made seven runs without loss. Baker, one of the opening batsmen, was unavailable last Saturday, being away in Dunedin playing for 'Wellington against Otago in the Plunket Shield match. His loss to Midland both as a bowler and a batsman was keenly felt. Midland’s first wickets fell cheaply, and for a time it looked as though they would be sent to the crease again. With six wickets down the score-board showed only 47 runs. At this stage the tail came to the rescue. Lawton and Clarkemade a fine seven th-wicket stand, the partnership yielding 70 runs. Lawton, with 41 to his credit, had the bad luck to be caught out of his crease with a smart return and run out. Clarke had made the useful seore of 69 runs when he lifted one from Watson and was held by Biggar. His was the top score of the innings, and included seven boundary strokes. Standige and Hester, of the tail, also aided matters considerably, the former adding 23 runs before losing his wicket to n good ball from Roberts. Hester was 19 not out. The innings closed with Midland 52 runs behind Hutt. Five of the batsmen were caught, Biggar being responsible for throe. The majority of the wickets were shared between Warnes and Watson, the former taking three for 54 and tiie latter three for 34. Hutt opened their second with 30 minutes to play, Biggar and Ross being the batsmen. Whcn_ stumps were drawn the board showed 87 runs, without loss. Biggar had 39 runs to his credit, including six fours, and Ross 46, including eight fours. The detailed scores arc as follow: BUTT. o First Innings MIDLAND—First Innings. W. A. Baker, absent 3 F.
