WELLINGTON CRICKET

Two Centuries Scored In Senior Matches

D. S. WILSON’S HAT-TRICK

That batsmen are at last beginning to get a sight of the ball was proved by the freer scoring in the Wellington Cricket Association’s senior championship competition on Saturday afternoon. Wickets were on the .easy side, but a stiff northwesterly wind enabled bowlers to flight the ball in the air. Highlights of the play were centuries by J. R. Lamason tor Wellington College Old Boys against Midland, and by A. N. Thompson tor Army against University, and the hattrick by D. S. Wilson, the Army captain. Brilliant bowling by D. S. ilson, who took seven wickets for 35 runs, including the hat-trick, enabled the Army eleven to dismiss University at uic Basin Reserve for 99 runs. The Army batsmen found the wicket to their liking, and ran up 362 for seven wickets. Thompson, who hit 14 fours, reached toe even century before retiring, and D. 8. Wilson hit six sixes and four fours iu his dashing 72, Otway and Sutherland also scored freely. A dashing innings for 157 by J. R. Lamason, who hit five sixes and 19 * oul ’ s in about two hours, and a sound halfcentury by Wiggs, enabled Wellington College Old Boys to run up 253 for four wickets against Midianu at the Basin Reserve. The closure was applied at the tea interval, but the Midland batsmen played out time, having 165 runs on for the loss of seven wickets when stumps were drawn. Donald batted very soundly for 86 before being caught and bowled by Boyes. The match thus resulted in a draw. . . , . An enterprising second innings declaration by H. F. Rice, in an effort to force an outright win, provided an excellent finish to the Kilbirnie-Pctone game. Kubirnie led by 70 runs on the first innings, and with 35 runs on for three wickets in the second innings and 45 minutes' batting time left, Rice declared, Petone macle a sporting effort to secure the 106 runs required to win, and al stumps had lost nine wickets for 90, Kilbirnie having to be satisfied with a win on the first innings. Riddolls was again Petone s best all-rounder. 1 Ashenden, Eaton, Allen, and Russ all bowled well for Kilbirnie. An unexpected last wicket stand gave Karori a narrow first innings win oyer Wellington. The latter team made 187, the main feature being a solid knock by Bowers, formerly of Nelson College, for 52. Karori's batting was very patchy. Standidge, with a bright 65, which included three sixes and five fours, Beck (oi) and Heenan (18) were the only, batsmen to shape confidently, and with nine wickets down for 161 runs. Karori s prospects looked poor, but E. King came to light with some lusty hitting, there being one six and four fours in his 29, and Karori s total reached 194 —a win by seven runs. Blundell bowled well for Wellington, taking seven for 75 off 13.3 overs. He swung the ball awkwardly at times. Modest scoring marked the game between Hutt and Institute Old Boys on the Hutt recreation ground, which resulted in a win for Hutt by 62 runs on the first innings. Hutt, thanks to enterprising innings by Kemp, Wail, Mustard, Buchan and McLeod, totalled 19 (, t but this was too big a hurdle for Institute, who found the bowling of Buchan, six for 37 off eight overs, too good for them. Declaring their first innings closed with 186 runs on for the loss of nine wickets. Air Force beat Johnsonville at Kelburn Park by 31 runs. Ashenden, McCarthy, Hawthorn and Smith scored freely for Air Force. The only batsmen to get going in Johnsonville’s modest innings of 155 were -Williams, Fisher and Handley. Madden bowled well for Air Force, and Parsloe and Handley for Johnsonville.
