AT IT AGAIN

TOM LOWRY'S LATEST

Playing for the High School cricket team against United at Taihape last Saturday, T. C. Lowry gavo another of those exceptional batting displays for which h-o has become famous. The school team required 69 runs to win the nmtehj and the task was recognised as one of some magnitude seeing that the runs had to bo collected in 18 minutes. Loivry took strike with his batting partner, Scuulze, and imediately sent the first ball to the boundary. He kept g^oing, and planned his play so that he retained the batting— i, 4, 4, 6, and 1. He wanted"only a single off the last ball of the first over. Then on ■with the game! After sixteen minutes* battings the score was 67 for no wickets, and all 67 runs had been made by Lowry. A leg-bye and a single from Schulze, and the match was won, with a minuta to spare. Lowry hit with such, terrific force that the.ball whizzed like a cannon shot, and it is no wonder that the spectators gave all kinds of manifestations of delight. Lowry, it is stated, showed faultless judgment and consummato skill. It is a great pity that he is not in bigger cricket again this season.
