CRICKET

SATURDAY'S MATCHES Tlio form displayed in tlic first grade matches showed considerable improvement on that disclosed in several recent games, and several good individual 'tallies were made, including a splen-didly-mado 90 by Alloo. Dunedin easily accounted for Albion on the first innings, and are loading Grange by one point for the championship. Dunedin, however, should win the unfinished ■game with Grange. GRANGE v. CARISBROOTv On the first day Grange made 1,45 and Garisbrook had six wickets down for 02, Continuing on Saturday, the sonth-enders were all disposed of for R 37, Cameron, Faulks, and Gourlcy all making fair efforts to retrieve the position. Grange made a much better showing in their second venture, Knight and Galland putting up a lino stand, both playing attractively. Alloo, who has been under a cloud this season, was unfortunate in being four runs short of his century when Henderson, the last man, was bowled by Douglas. Grange secured a two-point win. Scores:— GRANGE.
