CRICKET SATURDAY'S GAMES

NORTH'S FINE RECOVERY, Central 22^ beat South 108 and 84. North 76 and 139 beat Victoria College 147 and 34. East A 287 beat Hittt 112 and 06. Petona 145 and 109 for fivo wickets beat East B 132 and 119. , . HONOUR BOARD. Patrick (South') U. Jackson (Central) 64. . Naughton (Central) 69 jiot out. M'Kende (Petona) 69. Southall (North) six tvickete for 17 runs. Casey (North) four wickets fof 14 runs. Gibbfes (East A) bi£ ior 31, and eeV©n for 49 runs. Hardham (Petone) fotir for 15 runs. The surprise packet of Saturday's play Was North's recovery, or more correctly, Victoria- College's remarkable collapse. That such a batting side as North's should make only 76 in the first innings was very surprising} but that College, requiring only 69 to win, failed to get half that number was catiee for even greater astonishment. Southall and Casey, aided by a keen field, got some good averages, and dismissed all the Collegians fot 34. Other games of the day were rather uninteresting. Central gained an inning's victory over South, and East A had similar gdod fortune with Hutfr. Petone defeated East B by five wickete. central v. sfltrra. Central made no race of it withSdiith. The latter (three men absent this tittle) made 108 (first innings) and 84, to which Central replied with 229. Naughton made, 69, and was unbeaten at stumps. Smith hit up 36, tfenton bowled splendidly for South, his record at the of the day being 1 for fa. Patrick was expensive as a bowler, but he was the only batsman to do anything ih Souths second innings. He got to 44 — one-half the runs credited to the side —before ' Natighton cdlight him off , Kinvig. Burton made 15. i Scores are as follow :•-- Central.— first Innings.

PETONE v. EAST B. Petone had little difficulty in gaining a three-pOtnt win from East B. Despite the heavy rain of the previous night, the wicket was in good order. On the firet day each side had completed an innings, -Petbfae making 146 and East 132. Ettst, At the wickets on Saturday, did not do too well. Smith batled well for 26, his score including one 6 and three 4's. Collett and t)ooley added 44 for the Bfevenlh wicket. The innings total was 119, giving Petone 107 td make to win by three points. At firet it appeared that ! the suburban team would have some difficulty in doing this. Finlayaon was stumped by Wagetaffo after making ot^e run only } and Brico wad unfortunately run out. Two wickets had thus fallon for four runs. BuJ> Dalgleish and. M'Kenttie played a very serviceable game, and M'Kenaie did most of *lie hitting, flaking 59 before he was bowled by Hales. Hie etyle wiie forceful, and he j hit to the boundary fvequently. Eight 4's stood against hie name, to say .nothing of a Couple of 6's and one 6. From two for 4, the" score rose to three for 88, and four for 108. Evidently to guard against any error in the scores, Petone cent another man— Hardham— in, but his Wicket weat cheaply. Petone won by five wickets. Following are detailed scores :—- EAST B. First innings ... ' ... ... it . 132 Second Innings.

NORTH v. VICTORIA COLLEGE. It was not exactly the unexpected that happened at the < Basin on Saturday, when North, after being in a serious position, livened up and turned the tables on Victoria College. The big surprise was on the first day's play, when the students got North— admittedly the solideat batting side in the competition— out for 76, and made 147 themselves. But with two such -teams and a full day's play to go, North had an excellent chance ot winning out, and this they did, thanks to some deadly bowling by Southall and Casey— slow and medium. North in their Second knock made 139, Bray (38) and Hiddlestone (33) doing best. As anticipated in these columns. Diokson and Saunders had to pay, pretty, dearly for thek unwonted

success a fortnight before. Dickson's five wickets on Saturday cost 70 rune, while the left-hander took three for 50. The position^ then, was this: College had 69 inns to win and 110 minutes in which to get them. They failed badly. In an hour they were all out for the paltry total of 34. Apparently the Collegians played the wrong game altogether— they should have gone for the bowling more vigorously and offensively. Fanning got 14, and that was a large sCote where so many made singles or failed to score at all. It looks as though College are not the fighters they would have us believe them to be. North's second innings was iv the nature of a protracted, painful _ business, and altogether the cricket in this match is no great credit to anybody. Dickson, bowling to Crottlbie, took a return catch excellently, and Saunders Snapped Up Berendseu off the same bowler « like a, champion — a low Catah in. the slips. Southall took six for 17 and Casey four for 14. Details are as follow :— North. First innings ... ... .„ »,^ 76 Second innings.

HtJTT. Gibbes, the East A lefthander, saw to it ihat Hutt, who resumed on Sattir^ day with 44 for one wicket, as against East A'o 287, did not get very far. Pattoh, Isherwood, JUJd, Styleß (top score, 23 not out), and Aldersley afi made double figures^ but they were not big enough, and Hutt finished up at Ili4 — 175 in arrears. Gibbes, assisted by the wicket, bagged six for 31, and when Hutt batted again, the lefthander went one better, capturing seven for 49 — a record of 13 wickets for 80 runs for tile day. Patton (04) and Rodgers (21) were the only batsmen to make anything like a showing, Hutt, dismissed for 96, Were defeated by aii innings and 79 runs. • k Details are as follow s— East A.
