After- Clarke had been-dis-Eosed ef cheaply, Peterson and. Mexted ecame associated in a good partnership, which carried the. score past the 50 rriarkr There was then- a collapse, and the whole side was soon out for qnly 68.- The-most successful Eongotai bowler was Knowsley who, bowling into the wind, made the ball- swerve considerably. J. Gray and Wh-en each took two wickets ,'ch.eaply.' •Rongotai made a bad start in their innings, but Lubransky and J. Gray, then became associated, and carried'the score well past that of their opponents. Lubransky was very strong on the off, exploiting some good cover drives, and Gray, who played a forcing innings, used his feet in stepping out to the slow bowlers. Todd and Hatton were mainly responsible for Rongotai losing five more wickets, before stumps, the home team then having seven down for 174. Details:— WAIRARAPA HIGH SCHOOL. First Innings. ; W.
