TROTT'S TEAM WINS Only 126 runs were heeded by the South Melbourne team for a win against the Wednesday representatives , and after The Post went to press M'Cormack and Purvis went in to help make them. Purvis left with only one run to his credit, and Scott went in. He opened thingß up immediately, and his fine, free style evoked much- applause. Once he sent the ball over the fence by the pavilion and he hit numerous 4's and another 6. M'Cormack kept his wicket up well and when the necessary 126 appeared he had made 20. The other not out man, Kenny, made just 2 more than Scott, namely, 52. The visitors made the runs necessary f,or their win and carried off the match by eight Wickets.

HOW THEY DO THINGS IN GISBORNE , (BY TELEGRAPH-— PRESS ASSOCIATION. ) . .GISBORNE, 23rd January, ■ ' t Something of a eeneation was created in local cricket circles to-day, when Alhambra opened a match with Kiakaha m the Thursday competition. Believing that hie team had a particularly "soft 3 thing on, the Kiakaha captain sent Alhambra in to bat, and, at the close of, the day's play, the batsmen had registered a score of 406 for two wickete, aa followß :— O. R. Olseu, 108 ; M. Guthrie, 116 ; T. Atkinson, not out, 131 ; W. J, Sdhmollum, not out, 17; extras, 34. The Kiakaha bowlers are usually looked upon as well up to tho average in district cricket, but they 'had to confess to-day to the following disastrous analysis :— Grant, 88 runs for no wickets; Woodj 48 runs for no wickeU; Jones, 87 runs for one wicket; Harvey, 59 runs for no wickete; Auld, 20 rune for ho wicket* : Wilson, 36 runs for one wicket; Tait, 24 runs for no wickets.
