BY EIGHT WICKETS

NORFOLK DEFEATED NEW ZEALAND’S BETTER SHOWING KERR AGAIN MISSES A CENTURY (From the special correspondent of the United Press Association with, the New Zealand cricket team.) NORWICH, June 24. (Received June 25, at 10 a.m.) New Zealand played fnore like a touring team should against a minor county. Dunning and Weir bowled well, many runs coming from mis-hits that sped to the boundary on the fast outfield. In this expensive misfortune fellow sufferers w-ero Roberts and Gallichan. The fielding was keen, runouts resulting from fast throwing in. Kerr and Hadlee scored at a brisk pace against bowling that yesterday they were seemingly unable to handle. Kerr was brilliant, driving, cutting, and gliding the speedy bowlers with never a fault. Lamason was more like the player ho is known in. New Zealand. Hadlee and Weir swelled the large list of leg before decisions. Kerr hit 11 4’s, including four in one over. ' He appeared certain to reach a century, but two balls going to the boundary for byes spoilt his chance. New Zealand won by eight wickets. The attendance was about 3,000. Roberts damaged his finger in attempting a catch, and may not play in the test. Details:— NORFOLK. First innings 165 Second Innings. 13. W.
