SATURDAY’S CRICKET

High Scoring in Ideal Weather HIGH SCORING IN IDEAL WEATHER—EIGHTH ROUND COMMENCED —CARISBROOK A’S DISAPPOINTING DISPLAY—ALBION’S BIG SCORE AGAINST COLTS —CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AGAIN FARE BADLY—OLD BOYS’ USEFUL TOTAL—DUNEDIN’S IMPROVED SHOWING—’VARSITY BEGIN BADLY —KAIKORAI IN GOOD POSITION.

Ideal weather prevailed for the commencement of the eighth round of matches in the Otago Cricket Associasenior competition, and there was some high scoring, _ although the meeting of the competition leaders, Carisbrook A and .Grange at Carisbrook provided a disappointing display. The leaders gave a very unenterprising exhibition of batting against the. steady Grange attack, and after baiting nearly all afternoon could put together a ■core of only 198, of which the colt, F. Kerr, batted very stylishly for 59, .while J. Cameron made 39. and J. M. M'Mullan 30. For Grange, Lem in took five for 25. and Dey three for 33. At stumps Grange had lost three for 41. - Kaikorai made a very respectable total of 280 against Carisbrook ■ B at Logan Park No. 2. A. C. Holden making 73. R. Cherry 61, and L‘. Constable 55. For Carisbrook B. Howarth took five for 75. and M‘Kay three for 39. Carisbrook B responded with 45 for the loss of two wickets, Cook taking two .wickets for 20.

High School Old Boys met Christian Brothers, and put together a score of 273, G. R. Dickinson top-scoring with 54, V. Leader compiling 46, J. A. Smith 30, L. Groves 33, and J. B. Clark 31. For Christian Brothers C. Lynch took two for 44, M'llroy two for 66f and Brookes two for 41. _ Christian Brothers fared badly on going to the crease, losing four wickets for 36 runs. Leader taking three wickets for 5 runs off four overs?

Dunedin made an improved showing »gainst University, matting together a score of 224 runs, W. Ditchfield compiling a well-played 86. Cavanagh made 54 and Claridge 42. For University, N. Henderson took six wickets for 43 runs, and Sinclair two for *37. University collapsed in the last hour of play, ond lost five wickets for 40 runs, Douglas taking three wickets for 19 and Carrington two for 7. ' Albion made the highest score of the afternoon, compiling. 354 against the Colts, J. Shepherd giving one of his characteristically dashing displays for (78, made in 69 minutes. S. Duncan ■cored 62, J. Allan 67, and 0. Dalziel 45. The wickets were well divided, Langford Smith taking three wickets for 106. Colts lost two for 14, Silver .taking both wickets for 3 runs.

UNENTERPRISING BATTING COMPETITION LEADERS MEET A good crowd of spectators basked ia the sunshine at Carisbrook, but they did not- have many other compensations, the meeting of the competition leaders; Grange and Carisbook A, falling far short of expectations. On a strip of turf that should have produced a crop of runs, all that Carisbrook could show for nearly three and a-half hours’ batting was 198 runs. The Grange bowling was certainly well handled by Gallant!, but the manner in which it. was treated by some of the Carisbrook batsmen suggested a representative attack rather than that of a club team. If there was one featxire of the match that was outstanding, it was Grange’s alert and smart fielding. One or two chances may have gone astray, but few runs were given away, and some of the catches taken were far from simple efforts. Carisbrook’s batting generally did not savour of a side at the top of the ladder, and the opening pair, F. Kerr and H. Cameron, took twenty minutes to put together 12 runs. Kerr started confidently all the same, but Cameron

CARISBROOK A,

First Innings

was never very comfortable, and fell to a catch behind the wickets by Chadwick off Lemin after scoring only 3. Dunning joined Kerr, and even he seemed affected by the sultry atmosphere, his 19 taking longer than usual to compile. Kerr was picking the right ones to score from, however, and once ho began to seo them properly played a sound and stylish innings, scoring with ’ particular facility to the off, especially just backward of point and down the gully. He was stronger in his on-side play than usual, and made several clean and powerful strokes to leg. Dunning got most of his runs with off-drives and cover-drives, but Chettleburgh brought about his dismissal with a ball' that went straight through and. bowled him. 38—2—19.

M‘Mu 11 an and Kerr were associated in a stand that added 58, and M‘Mullan’s 30 included five 4’s, one of the bright lights of the innings. He took time to settle down, and then scored freely with neat shots to leg and the on-drive. Kerr was sent back to the pavilion when Galland came on, the crafty Grange skipper trapping the promising Carisbrook colt and holding a return from the bat. 116—3—59. Kerr batted 101 minutes and hit nine 4’s.

M'Mullan was out without any addition to the total, and going for a big hit against Dey chopped the ball on to his wickets. 116—4r—30. M'Dougall and J. Cameron became associated, hut M'Dougall was more subdued than usual, and soon after the tea adjounment was out to a good catch by Elmes in the slips off Lemin. The batsmen were treating Doy with flattering respect, for he sent down a number of half-volleys and full-tosses, but lie brought about Napier’s dismissal, taking a fine catch halfway mp the pitch off his own howling, when the batsman had scored 9.

Cox joined J. Cameron, who was batting steadily enough but quietly, and 170 was hoisted with a single off Dey. Cameron nicely cut Dey to the fence, and Cox brought 180 up by a well-run 3 off Dey. Cox ras caught by Chettleburgh close in, the score reading 181— 7—6. Williams filled the breach, and Galland took up the attack from Ledgerwood, Lemin replacing Dey. Off the last ball of Lemin’s over Cameron was missed behind, but eventually he was caught by Elmes in the slips off Lemin. 185—8—39.; Dotting was the incomer, but did not last long, Lemin clean bowling him. 188—9—0. Kerr came in, and the innings closed for 198 when Lemin bowled Kerr after he had scored 4. Lemin was the most successful member of the Grange attack, and after sending down a few loose ones at the'start bowled accurately and kept a 'good length, Galland using him judiciously. The wicket did not suit Elmes, who failed to get a wicket, but Dey took three for 3, figures which flattered him.

Grange began even more disastrously than Carisbrook, losing three good wickets for 41 runs at the drawing of stumps. Knight was briliantly caught by M'Mullan at point off A. Kerr, when he had scored only 2, and Breen was joined by Elmes. Breen hooked Kerr into the grand stand for a lovely 6, a well-timed stroke. He was shaping very nicely when he was run out as the result of a misunderstanding between tho batsmen. 27—2—15. Tomkinson did not score before he was out Ibw to Dunning, and Elmes (16) and Dey (0) were associated when stumps were drawn with three wickets down for 41. Details :

OLD BOYS IN STRONG POSITION CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AGAIN FARE BADLY Christian Brothers again fared badly, High School Old Boys making 273 and Christian Brothers losing four wickets for 36 runs.

Old Boys won the toss, and Groves and Leader opened the innings to the howling of Mowat and Lynch. The batsmen opened quietly, although Leader opened his account with a boundary. The long spell of dry weather revealed its effect on the wicket, which lacked fire. Nevertheless, it was quite fair under the conditions. Occasionally some of the deliveries Yept low, and the bowlers, especially Lynch, wore able to get some turn on the ball, and the breeze assisted them in swinging the ball.

Groves opened with five singles, and then notched two boundaries. Both batsmen carried on carefully, endeavouring to acquaint themselves with the pace of the wicket. Blair, at mid-off, was instrumental in stopping some hot drives. Leader was using his feet well, and gradually began to bat forcefully. Groves found the boundary with two beautiful drives, and then, after scoring two singles, followed with four more boundary shots. M'llroy, who was brougnt on as first change, was instrumental in claiming Groves’s wicket, the batsman chopping the ball into Toomey’s hands, the wicketkeeper taking a brilliant catch. 59 —1—33. Payne followed, and was not long in setting about scoring. He opened with two 4’s. Blair continued to be effective at mid-off, and some beautiful drives by Payne were blocked. Both batsmen were showing fine _ batting ability. Payne rattled on 23 in quick time. Included in his score were five boundaries. A splendid innings was abruptly ended when, after running a single, Leader sent Payne back after hesitating, and the latter just failed to regain his crease. Thus a valuable wicket was lost. 107—2 —23.

Clark joined Leader. Leader met the same fate as Payne, when the newcomer, playing a shot to the covers, called, and” a quick return saw Leader terminate his good innings, which included eight 4’s. 107—3—46. Smith, who followed, immediately opened with a glance to leg for 2. Brookes, the slow bowler, was brought on. but Clark and Smith carried on until afternoon tea, when the score read 139 for three wickets.

On the resumption Clark immediately despatched Mowat to the leg boundary twice in succession. Lynch bowled from the south end, and so far had proved tlie most steady of- the attacking unit. The partnerships had added 52. when Clark, endeavouring to lift the ball to the outfield, played too soon, and was caught and bowled by Lynch. G. Edwards joined Smith, who was batting solidly. The colt opened with singles, three in number. He then sent an off drive past Brookes, at cover, the ball reaching; the boundary. With an addition of 2 Lynch . bowled G. Edwards with a beautiful delivery which turned from the off. 175—5 —9. Dickinson and Smith now became associated. After several sighters the former scored four boundaries in one liver from Mowat with two nice leg shots, a square cut, and an on drive. Till pair indulged in some smart running between the wickets, and some sharp singles added materially _ to the score. As the time for declaring had been exceeded Old Boys then decided to go for the bowling. The score reached 228 when Smith in going for a big hit skied the ball to Brookes, at deep mid-on. 228—6—39. R. Edwards filled the breach. He and Dickinson then decided to have a real “go” at the bowling, and the ball was tearing in all directions. Edwards was getting well out to Brookes, and sent one for 6, to follow with a straight drive for 4. The next delivery bowled him. He added a valuable 20 runs in eighteen minutes. 260—7—20. Giles, who followed, was not so fortunate in the effort to score quickly, for he hit the first one to M'Carten on the boundary. 2608—0. Dickinson was joined by Cherry. The former was now well in his stride, and sent Brookes for a sixer. He was then run out, failing to ground his bat by a mere fraction of a second. He hit six 4’s and a sixer. 267—9—51.

Cherry and Macassey endeavoured to carry out the instructions to score as quickly as possible. Both broke their “ ducks,” but Cherry missed one from MMlrov, and thus terminted the innings ’for 273, scored in 186 minutes. The last 45 runs took nineteen minutes to compile. Christian Brothers went to the wickets at 5.20, Toomey and llodgerson opening to the bowling of Dickinson and Groves. The first ball went for 4 byes, llodgerson broke his “ duck ” with 2 off Groves, and Toomey with a single off Dickinson to forward point. After bowling three overs for 2 runs Leader replaced the fast bowler and bowled a maiden. Toomey scored a boundary at the expense, of Leader, and llodgerson likewise at the expense of Groves. The slow bowler trapped llodgerson Ibw when he had just reached double figures. 18—1—10. Ryan followed. Success came Leader’s way in his third over, when he bowled Ryan with a beauty which whizzed from the off. 29—2—6. Blair joined Toomey, but survived only two balls, being caught at mid-on by N. Cherry off Leader. 29—3—0, C. Toomey joined his brother, who was batting carefully. Groves was howling well and turning both ways. Ho had the batsmen thinking, and narrowly missed a wicket by stumping. C. Toomey off-drove Groves for 4, but when facing Leader stopped in to one well up. 35—4—6. Brookes and F. Toomey then played out time. With 237 to get to equal Old Boys’ total and four wickets down for 36. Christian Brothers finished in a difficult position. Details: OLD BOYS. First Innings.

ALBION'S LARGE TOTAL COLTS’ ATTACK CAPTURED Albion made 354 and then dismissed two of the Colts for 14 at Logan Park. Such an undoubted superiority was entirely unexpected. Three batsmen topped the half-century, and the veteran Shepherd, who headed the scoring with a brilliant 78, was reminiscent of the plaver of old, his carpet drives being a feature of the afternoon’s play. Like Duncan, who made 62 in sparkling style after a very lean season, his innings was marred by no chances. Allen (57) and Dalziel (45), and R. Silver (32 not out) also wore in rungetting form. Albion’s innings was commenced by Miller and Dalziel on a fast wicket. Following a few overs of cautious batting, they commenced to score at a steady rate from the bowling of Begg and Badcock, 40 appearing on the board in fair time before Miller was out to a particularly good delivery from Begg. Martin filled the breach, and he and Dalziel were associated in a useful partnership in which the latter did most of the scoring, revealing some excellent strokes on the off. Martin was out when he had reached double figures, Badcock, who had made several changes in the bowling, holding a brilliant catch at point. Barron was the incomer, and partnered with Dalziel, who was displaying sparkling cricket, he saw the century hoisted and Dalziel enter into the thirties. However, with the total at 128, Dalziel mistimed a delivery from Smith, the bowler holding an easy catch. With the advent of Shepherd to the crease the rate of scoring became even faster. He completely demoralised the attack with strokes to every part of the field, though he was cautious when facing Badcock. Most of his runs were scored in front of the wicket, the ball being despatched several times to the fence by means of straight drives. When tlie adjournment was taken the total was 181, which had been compiled in 111 minutes.

On resumption Shepherd continued to bat in delightful fashion, and though Barron had been dismissed when 15 Duncan and Shepherd were together in a particularly fine stand. However, Shepherd’s innings was terminated with the tally at 213, after he had been at the crease for only 69 minutes. His score included twelve 4’s. The Colts were getting no assistance from the wicket, and Allen and Duncan brought the total to within seven of the 300 mark before the latter succumbed to a beautiful catch at first slip by M‘Gregor. Duncan’s innings had occupied 98 minutes, and he hit five 4’s. L. Silver did not stay long, and Allen and R. Silver were together when the 300 mark was reached after 178 minutes’ play. Allen was giving a very confident exhibition, but eventually he was bowled by Smith. His innings had taken 43 minutes, and he hit five 4’s. 322-8-57. Meanwhile, R. Silver was making the most of a tired attack, and though Vorrath failed to open his account, he and Collins were associated in a last-wicket stand that realised 31 runs before Collins was run out, Silver fining undefeated with 32 to his credit. The innings closed at 5.52, and had occupied nearly three and a-ha)f hours. The Colt's’ innings • opened disastrously, Kean being out to a particularly fine catch by Barron, and Wilson following shortly after, L. Silver, who was making the ball rise disconcertently, capturing both wickets. Mills was struck twice by the bowler, but after Hogg had been dropped the two managed to play out time. Details:—

KAIKDRAI'S GOOD START HOWARTH BOWLS WELL FOR CARISBROOK B The creditable total of runs was made by Kaikorai B in its first innings against Carisbrook B on an excellent wicket at Logan Park, Carisbrook losing two wickets for 45 when stumps were drawn.

Kaikorai opened unpromisingly. The opening batsmen were Holden and Mathias, but when only 11 runs were on board the latter was bowled by M‘Kay. A good stand by Holden and Stewart then saw the score taken to 112 before the former was bowled by Howarth after having batted very well for 73. The next three wickets fell for the addition of only 27 runs, five being down for 139, but Cherry and Constable settled down to some solid scoring, and carried the total to 229 before the latter was caught off Howarth. Cherry continued to bat with confidence, and had scored 61 \\ben he went out leg before to Howarth, the remaining batsmen bringing the total to 280 when the innings closed. Howarth bowled well throughout the day, to take five wickets for 75, the only other bowler to meet with any success being M‘Kny, who secured three for 39.

M‘.Kay contributed a bright 21 to Carisbrook’s score of 45 for two wickets. Cook, the left-hander, took two wickets for 20. Scores: — KAIKOHAI. First lenings.

DUNEDIN FARE BETTER .UNIVERSITY'S DISASTROUS START Dunedin made a much improved showing against University, and after losing two wickets for 19 runs rallied well, Ditchfield and Cavanagh taking the score to 94 before Cavanagh, after a good solid knock of 54 was clean bowled by Henderson. The ex-Techni-cal College colt, Holley, added 15 by good cricket before he was well beaten by Gilkison. Cla ridge joined Ditchfield, and hit lustily for 42. He gave one or two chances, hut played a valuable innings for his side. He was clean bowled by Henderson, the batsman making no attempt to play a straight ball. Douglas added 7, Henderson claiming his wicket. Ditchfield’s finely-played innings for 86 was terminated by Henderson, who finished up with six for 43, Sinclair, who claimed the last two wickets, having 37 scored from his bowling. University opened with Ibbotson and Lawson on a wicket that was crumbling badly, and at stumps had lost five wickets for 40 runs, Lawson leading the way with a well-compiled 21. Douglas secured three wickets for 19 runs, and Carrington two for 7. Details:—
