SATURDAY'S MATCHES

BATSMEN HAVE A DAY OUT

Fine, bright weather favoured the resumption»of cricket on Saturday afternoon in the matches held over from the previous, week, on account of the rain. Tho wicket on the Basin Reserve was dead, and batsmen availed themselves of the opportunity far scoring. For North against Pet'one Middleton made a promising debut by carrying out his bat for 119, whilo Qninn," for the same eleven, registered a solid 81 before going down to Finlayson. Lambert also topped the century with 103 for Old Boys against East, and Murphy's Pipeworks team again hit up Vt big- score with R. .Murphy 104, Binnie 65 not out, and 11. Murphy 73 not out. In the Old Boys-East match the score of 38 for two wickets from the' previous Saturday was carried on chiefly by Lambert, who played a fine innings of 10o..marred only by a couple of chances. Substantial aid to the total of 274 for a wickets'came from the partnership of tho last two in—Duncan and Binnie— who. between them, added nearly a, century, and were unbeaten when tho innings was declared. East did not do so well in the reply Baker and Dind .opened satisfactorily, but Bakeq succumbed to Duncan with his score at 12 and Sehraeder, Condliffe,. and M'Girr were all bowled by Lambert without raising the total appreciably. Hutching held up his end better, and when stumps were drawn, was still unbeaten with 23 to his credit. Tho total was Id 2 for 6 wickets, which gave Old Boys' at least a moral victory. Lambert took 4 wickets for 42, > all clean bowled North last Saturday-week had scored i>A without loss, when rain came, and on resuming play, rapidly increased the aggregate to 2?5 for 4 wicket,. Q ninn and ?.liddletor./were' the chief; scorers, with Bi and 119 not out respectively -etone were up against a solid figure and were lucky enough to escape with V™', H- Nicholls was the mainstay of the defence with well-pkyed innings Jif\ ' -fr-^V1 readled 143 for Rev«« widrets AMdleton with three wickets for tepp er i oif with tho bail his fin© performance with tho bat Out at the Hutt there were a fair number, of spectators at the Hntt-Thorn-don match. They were rewarded by a very dose finish. Hntt continued their nret-. day s innings of 112 for six wickets and reached 181, principally through the contributions'of M. and D. Xaughton, 65 and 20 respectively. Plant had the best bowling -analysis with five for 53. Thorndan made an excellent start, and Berry and Moore between them came just short 7,l*™^" before th<= first wicket j-i" Mlve!lal '< who followed Berry 34 did not outlast the over and shortly afW Jhomas came in Moore was caught in the field.; for a creditable 64. The scoro rose steadily, Warn.? 10, Thomas 32 Umithers 11, but Thorndon. just managed to secure the necessai-y runs for a two-point win when the last wicket fell with the score 186.
