The completion of the third round of matches in the Otago Cricket Association’s senior competition was marked by some attractive cricket, the games being played under favourable condiThere were thrills a-plenty at the (North Ground, where Grange obtained a four-point win against the Colts, whose last batsman was dismissed with only fourteen minutes left for play after the Grange had been held up by determined stonewalling on the part or E. S. "Wilson, jun. Grange had mad© 175 -the previous week, the Colts losing six for 180. Lemin went through the remainder of the side cheaply, and the innings closing for 185, Lemin taking five for 41 and Elmes three for 62. Grange’s second innings was marked by vigorous hitting, 171 runs being put on in 78 minutes for the loss of four .wickets, chiefly as,the result of adisplay by Gailand, who made 84 not out, including nine fours and three sixes. Gailand then declared, leaving the Colts over two hours to get IoJ runs. L. Smith again bowled well for the Colts, taking three for 58. Elmes. hacked up by very keen herding, dismissed the earlier Colts batsmen cheaply, and finished up with four for 18, while Gailand completed the havoc and took three for 5, the Colts being out for 58, Grange obtaining an outright win by 103 runs. High School Old Boys secured a fourpoint win against Albion, and considerably improved their position in the competition.

GRANGE'S FOUR POINTER EXCITING MATCH WITH COLTS Turning what appeared to be a probable first innings’ defeat into an outright win, Grange achieved a notable performance in the highly interesting match with the Colts, played on the North Ground, and which produced as exciting a finish as one could wish for. There were some real highlights in this game. Remarkably fast scoring by the Grange batsmen in their second innings, a declaration at the tea interval by Galland (the Grange captain) when he himself was within 16 runs of his century, the collapse of the earlier Colts’ batsmen against an inspired patch of bowling by Elmes on their second visitation to the crease, followed by a determined stand by the later batsmen in a desperate attempt to keep the howlers out until time —these all combined lo make for an afternoon's crickejb as thrilling and .enjoyable as

has been seen on the North Ground for many a day. In reply to Grange’s _ total of 175, the Colts had lost six wickets for 180, but against the accurate bowling of Lemin the remaining batsmen did little of note on Saturday, Wilson, who resumed the innings with Mills, succumbing early to a catch behind the wicket by Chadwick off Lemin, who had an excellent command of length and direction, and was howling with a little more pace than usual. Elmes brought oft a good catch when Cranston cut one from Lemin to first slip before he had opened his account, eight wickets being down for 182. A smart return by Tomkinson saw Begg run out, and the association between Campbell and Mills did not last long. Mills hitting one from Lemin high ’ to cover, ChettTeburgh, bringing off a good catch, the innings closing for 185. Lemin’s three wickets on Saturday were obtained without cost, his final figures being five for 41. Gailand and Knight opened Grange s second innings at 2.50, _ and these seasoned players were associated in one of the liveliest partnerships one could have wished for. The pair scored fairly evenly, and both hit with rare power in front of the wicket, Galland’s straight driving being a treat to watch. Gailand was timing the ball more accurately than Knight, but both indulged in some crisp cutting, and Galland in particular was severe with anything at all loose on the leg. After twenty minutes’ play he brought 40 up by lifting Begg over the pavilion at square-leg, a beautiful hit. Knight’s timing was better now, and he cut Badcock hard through slips to the boundary and added another 4 in the same over by hooking him to fine-leg. A separation was effected by the slow lefthander, Smith, Knight going for a hit. missing, and being well out of his crease when Mills lifted ihe_ hails. 64—1—33. There were four 4’s in his score. Elmes and Gailand were in another bright stand, the score being taken to 111 before Elmes was beaten by M‘Gregor’s off-hreak after putting together 23 by sound cricketlike strokes. Gailand was dropped by Begg at cover off Smith when he had scored 36, but continued to hat in exhilarating fashion. ' his driving being a treat to watch. The 100 appeared after fqrty : eight minutes’ play, and, on the dismissal of Elmes. Gailand was joined by Breen, who did not stay long, hitting across a ball from Smith and being clean bowled. 118— 3—4. Smith bowled Chettleburgh with his next delivery, his figures at this stage being three for 27. Tomkinson partnered Gailand, and, although the newcomer was inclined to uppishness, he exploited the hook-stroke nicely and also drove_ hard. Gailand scored his second 6 with a lusty high drive over the head of long-on, and jus third 6 came at the expense of Smith wide of mid-on. Gailand gave his second chance to Saxton at square-leg, but it was a very difficult one, indeed, the fieldsman making a great attempt to hold the catch, though it was unsuccessful. At the tea adjournment 171 runs were showing for the loss of four wickets, Gailand being 84 not out, put together in seventy-eight minutes, and Tomkinson 20 not out. Gailand hit nine 4’s and three 6’s.

Galland placed his team beyond any personal considerations, and applied the closure, the Colts’ second innings beginning at 4.18, Saxton and M'Gregor being the opening pair. Elmes struck a length -right away, and M'Gregor went early, hitting over the top of one from the left-hander. 4—l—2. Smith got a brace through slips ; and then cut Elmes hard to Galland in the slips, the Grange skipper taking a magnificent one-handed catch, Badcock joined Saxton, but the ball struck his hand, and Tomkinson, fielding at short-leg, held the catch. 6—3—o. The Colts met with further disaster when Knowles joined Saxton, the latter being given out to a catch behind the wicket by Chadwick. 9—4—2. Elmes had taken four wickets for 8 runs. The procession to and from the pavilion continued, Knowles being out to another great catch in the slips by Knight off Lemin after scoring 5. Five down for 16. Mills and Hogg became associated, the former shaping confidently, though he mistimed a few at the start. He made several good shots on the on-side, but when Ledgerwood relieved Elmes Hogg was stumped by Chadwick off the new bowler’s first delivery. 26—6—4. Wilson joined Mills, and offered stubborn resistance to the bowling, but Mills, who had played a useful knock, was dismissed by Galland’s slow ball, returning it to the bowler, who took a great catch. 39—7—20. Knight was brought on in an effort to entice the batsmen to hit out, and he had Cranston caught by Chadwick with 46 runs on the board. Begg joined Wilson, and with both batsmen defying all attempts to make them hit out the Grange supporters became anxious. Galland, who had been mixing them well, brought about Wilson s dismissal after he had been sixty-five minutes in his determined effort to keep the bowling out, Elmes holding a catch in the slips. 579 —11. Galland bowled Begg with only fourteen minutes to go, the Colts’ innings closing for 58, Grange securing an outright win by 103 runs. Elmes took four for 18. and Galland three for 5. Chadwick’s ’keeping was of a particularly high standard. Details; — COLTS. First Innings. C. Saxton b Ledgerwood 65 G. M'Gregor c Tomkinson b Elmes 24 L. Smith Ibw b Lemin ... 19 F. T.

TWO POINTER TO CARISBROOK A BUT EXTENDED BY THE B'S Carisbrook A’s two-point win in the game with the B’s at the club ground did not seem likely at one stage of the play when six wickets had fallen for 197, the slow bowlers finding a rather soft wicket to their liking. D. Cameron’s 88 represented a lucky innings, as he was dropped several times during the afternoon. Indeed, had the B’s fielding been surer, the match could easily have finished in their favour. The best innings of the afternoon was Napier’s whose 48 not out was compiled in impressive fashion. H. Cameron and D. Cameron (14) continued the A’s tally of 69 for the loss of two wickets, but with only 3 additional runs H. Cameron was run out, and Dunning joined Don Cameron, who, as was the case on the previous Saturday, was batting attractively. Dunning commenced with a single, followed by a forceful 4. Then, after obtaining double figures he was bowled by Charman, the ball, a beautiful delivery, keeping lor and nipping in quickly from the leg. The wicket was decidedly tricky, and Channan’s lefthand deliveries were treated with respect. 90—4—10. Cameron was missed in the slips when 27, butM'Mullan and he were associated in a bright stand. Frequent changes in the bowling were effected without the rate of scoring diminishing, Cameron particularly being delightfully free, though he was not too confident against Bell. He entered into the fifties with a beautiful cover drive, and M'Mullan gained a similar amount with a crisp stroke down the gully. A fruitful partnership was at length broken when M'Mullan cocked an easy catch off a ball on the leg side, A. C. Procter, the bowler, having no difficulty in holding it. M‘Mullan had appeared set for a good score. liS-t-S —2s. J. Cameron was the next man, beginning quietly and being content to let D. Cameron do what scoring there was in an uninterprising spell of batting. That desultory period was relieved by J. Cameron notching two successive 4’s, and his partner entering the sixties with a straight drive to the boundary at M'Kay’s expense. A change in the bowling saw D. Cameron facing a decidedly uncomfortable over from Haworth, during which he was badly missed by Lumsden at mid-off when 74. The adjournment was taken with the total at 194, D. Cameron being 75 and his cousin 25. As in the case of the previous Saturday’s innings of Carisbrook B, when Bell succumbed to the first ball on resumption, the spell proved fatal to J. Cameron, a well-flighted ball from Haworth, who was swinging in considerably, being misjudged by_ the batsman, and Hercus stumped him. 197 6—27. M'Dougall was dismissed by the same route off Charman. The slow bowlers now held the ascendancy, and Napier was missed at short leg by A. C. Procter before he had scored. However, he atoned for his mistake a moment later with a pretty stroke to the off pickets, while Cameron advanced his total to 80 and the grand score to 200 —35 short of the B’s effort. Scoring was slow but steady, with the bowling of M‘Kay and Newman of a calibre that militated against any unnecessary chances being taken. The proverbial coat of varnish was the margin between Cameron’s leg stump when M‘Kay sent down a difficult delivery, the ball going for 4 byes. Approaching his century and the A’s possible two-point victory, Cameron was most uncomfortable, and interspersed a run of good strokes with a dropped catch to Newman. Meanwhile, Napier was living an excellent display of sound strokes, and reached 20 by a forceful cover drive for 4, followed by an uppish 3 out of reach of slips to bring the tally within one of the B’s innings. He scored the winning hit shortly after, Cameron being 88. Without any addition, however, he foolishly threw his wicket and his century away by hitting wildly at a delivery from Newman, who clean-howled him. Included in his total were seven 4’s. He had been at the crease for 215 minutes. Dotting was associated with Napier, who commenced to lay on the wood with refreshing freedom, and two successive 4’s gave him 30. Betting’s was a short but bright stay, and MTvay, the last man, joined Napier, and lifted M‘Kay to the long-on boundary, hut in attempting to repeat the stroke he was well caught by Charnian. The innings closed at 5.30, Procter’s undefeated tally of 48 including six 4’s. With less than an hour left for play Ueddes and M'Gibbon opened the B’s second innings to, Dunning and Maloney, the former gaining the first wicket. M'Gibbon and M'Kay, by painfully slow batting, played out time without further loss. Details: —

FOUR POINTS TO OLD BOYS ALBION GIVES POOR DISPLAY What the previous week looked like anybody’s game resulted in a most decisive win for High School Old Boys in the match against Albion on Logan Park INTo. 1. When play resumed the wicket was suffering from the effects of water, and was very easy, but as the wicket dried it became very tricky, and by the time Albion batted a second time Groves and Dickinson were able to turn the ball a full yard. Neverthleess, the Albion batsmen gave an atrocious display, and Old Boys thoroughly deserved 4 points for a win by an innings and 9 runs. Old Boys had four wickets down for 87 when Clark (34) and Leader (2) resumed their innings. Both batsmen shaped confidently, and runs came freely, 41 being added for the fifth wicket, when Clark, who had played a most valuable innings for his side, put his foot in front to L. Silver, who at this stage was bowling a good length. Another useful partnership ensued when Groves joined Leader, who was keeping his end up with a solid defence while his score mounted at the same time. Groves gave a very attractive exhibition, and he scored several 4’s with excellent carpet drives. Leader’s wicket fell after 76 more runs had been added, and Groves went shortly afterwards through being caught at the other end with Payne. When Watts joined Payne seven wickets were down for 202, but another 50 runs were added before the innings closed. Payne shaped impressively for his 29,but Watts gave an unorthodox display, and he would have been quickly .trapped by a heady bowler.

Albion’s second innings commenced at 4.14, and ended about 6 o’clock, when only 9 more runs were needed to have sent Old Boys back to the crease. Miller and Dalziel gave the side a fairly good start by scoring 21 each, but Lattimer was the only batsman to shape soundly, though Vorrath was going well when the innings closed. Both Dickinson and Groves bowled splendidly, and the latter had the batsmen completely tied up. Details: — ALBION. First innings 149 Second Innings.

WENT DOWN FIGHTING KAIKORAI'S RESISTEHGE TO 'VARSITY Kaikorai’s plucky innings against University on the latter’s ground provided an afternoon of cricket that was much appreciated by the spectators who rolled up to see the game. To score 286 in the face of the opposing total of 360 for eight wickets was no mean feat, especially as the University bowling, though loose at times, could not be trifled with. Stewart, top scorer with 67, batted with power and sound style, and he and Balk (60), who was also spectacular, added 103 runs for the seventh wicket partnership. Talbot’s return to form was welcome. He made 62, and, with Cherry, gave the team a good start. University won on the first innings by 74 runs, Kaikorai’s knock closing at about 6.5 p.m. Kaikorai opened its innings with Talbot and Cherry, who met the attack of Holland and Howden with every sign of confidence. They each continued to bat well, and, apart from a misunderstanding which, but for the indecision of a fieldsman would have been fatal to one of them, they carried the team total to 50 without giving any chances. At 65, however, Cherry was given out Ibw to Howden, and two runs later Holden was clean bowled with a good length ball from the same bowler. Talbot, who was scoring freely in the longfield, was then partnered by M'Knigbt, and the pair took the score to 116, w’hen, after a useful knock, Talbot was smartly held by Sinclair at mid-off from the bowling of Holland, the fieldsman rolling over while in the act of grasping the ball. Talbot had scored 62 in 111 20min and hit six 4’s. Three wickets were down for 115*

M ‘Knight, who clouted several balls on the leg side to their proper destination, raised a steady 16 before giving a low catch in the slips to Henderson, who held the ball brilliantly. Rennick and Smith, the new partnership, x’eached 125 when the latter, just after a pretty late cut to the fence, was bowded by Howden, this being Howden’s fourth victim. Rennick and Constable were together at the tea adjournment, at which time the total was 130 for five wickets.

Continuing, Rennick and Constable batted well and took the total to 152 before a separation was effected through the latter being safely held off Sinclair by Priest near the on-boun-dary. A little later Rennick got his leg in front to Sinclair, and seven wickets were down for 161. The Stewart-Balk partnership was one of the most spectacular of the afternoon. Despite frequent changes of the bowling, the pair soon carried the total past the second century. With crisp strokes Stewart kept the ball travelling fast along the carpet, while Balk, whose score included a great 6 off Howden nearly to the Art Gallery, hit with considerable power. As time drew on and the batsmen were still together, it looked as though a drawn game would not be beyond the bounds of possibility, and. the match became infused with a spirit of excitement that was reflected in the eagerness of the fielding. Playing with sustained confidence, the partners ran from 161 runs to 264 before the break occurred, Stewart ultimately succumbing to Howden. Cook was stumped by Lawson after scoring a single, but Heenan looked like putting up a stubborn resistance, and it was the downfall of Balk—also a Lawson victim—which closed the innings.

DUMEBIH WINS FIRST INNINGS DECISION Dunedin and Christian Brothers concluded their game on Logan Park No. 4, the former winning by 44 runs on the first innings. At the close of the first day’s play Dunedin had 125 runs oni for the loss of seven wickets. Claridge, the not out man, again used the long handle to some purpose, and added 33 to his overnight score before he sent an easy catch off Mowat to Blair at mid-off. Mowat got the remainder of the tail cheaply, and Dunedin’s innings closed! for 173. , . Toomey and Bodgerson opened Christian Brothers’ second strike, and whilst Toomey was content to play the bowling Bodgerson at once commenced to make the pace, and ran up 23 in quick time, only to be smartly stumped by Hollander when going for a big hit. Blair looked like being set for a score, but with his tally at 15 he playedi on a rising ball from Douglas, the same bowler getting Lynch a couple of balls later. Byan joined Toomey, who was hatting very steadily, and, despite repeated changes of bowling, the partnership remained unbroken. Stumps were drawn a few minutes after 6 o’clock when Christian Brothers had five wickets down for 155 • runs. Toomey, who carried his bat, contributed an attractively compiled 60, and although he began slowly he scored more . freely towards the end of the innings and was always master of the bowling. Byan, who is just a lad, also played sound cricket and was particularly strong on the off. Details:—
