VICTORIA BEAT MANAWATU

HOME SIDE COLLAPSES.

(BT TELEO7UPB.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

PALMERSTON N., 18th March.

There was bright weather and a slow wicket for the second day of the match between Manawatu and Victoria. Victoria, after a shaky start (eight wickets being down for 55), added 135 for the last two wickets, Mayne, playing bright cricket for 94.

Manawatu, with a first innings lead of 14, went to pieces in the second strike, and were dismissed for 69, two of the youngest players of the side scoring 33 of the 53 made off the bat. The failure was analogous to the Victorian debacle on Tuesday. Requiring 82 to win, the visitors got them at the cost of one wicket.

When the board showed 170 in the Victorians' first visit to. the crease Mayne hit Hope to long off. Donaldson chased the ball, but was beaten by a fox terrier, which secured the leather, and careered around the paddock. 'The Manawatu eleven set up a hot pursuit, and "Mayne and Austin ran ten. before the dog was chased on the cycle track. A boundary was signalled. The Victorian manager (Mr. Bean) claims that the stroke produced 14 runs. After a consultation two runs were entered on the score book, as if Donaldson had secured the ball in its flight. The batsmen entered into the spirit of the occurrence, which proved the tit-bit of the match. Regarding the possibility of a followon this morning, the Victorians requested the association to wire the Cricket Council on the alleged agreement that 200 arrears should necessitate a follow on for a three days' match, and 150 for a two days' match. The reply from Christchurch stated that 100 runs only were necessary, this being in accordance with law 53. '' ' '' . j Following are the detailed scores:— ' MANAWATU.
