SPORTING DECISION
M.C.C. v. POVERTY BAY
VISITORS BAT AGAIN
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) GISBORNE, This Day. I A moderate westerly breeze was the' only factor which prevented conditions from being perfect for the resumption of the cricket match between Poverty Bay and the M.C.C. team. Having de-J clared yesterday with five wickets j down^for 206, the visitors proceeded to, dismiss the local team for 105, but this | morning, instead of forcing a follow I on, they sportingly elected to bat again. The M.C.C. batting order was changed to enable the tail-enders to have a strike and the result was that for a start wickets fell quickly. The captain, E. R. T. Holmes, was first to go, and after Lyttelton and Read had made a short stand four wickets fell for the addition of fifty runs. Human and Hardstaff, however, stopped the rot, the pair attacking the Poverty Bay slow bowlers and bringing a century up after 78 minutes. The score at lunch was 117 for five. Details:— POVERTY'BAY.
