LOCAL CRICKET

SECOND ROUND OPENED PLAYING IN THE .RAIN CITY PEAT OLD HOYS J ‘ TWO • MORE CENTURIES BOON NOT OGT 126, CARSON 100 Gisborne cricketers had a very unpleasant. time on Saturday, for drizzling rain continued throughout the afternoon. Every player on the ground became soaked with in a very short, time, but there was no stoppage in the play. Batsmen were presented with a glorious opportunity, for the slippery ball and unsecure looting made the bonders practically helpless. There was, some prolific scoring, and two more centuries 126 not out by-AI. K. Boon, and 100 by W. Carson, were added to the season’s long list. Old Boys, leaders in. the competition, .were the only. team, who failed ttake advantage of the conditions, and they made only 12S against City who are already 101. runs ahead with only three wickets .down. Civil Service made 263 for three wickets declared, against Turanganui who, in reply, have lost two for "79. High School' compiled ISO and then dismissed three Gisborne Club batsmen for 77.

CITY OUTPLAY OLD BOYS SOME BRIGHT BATTING Again Old Boy's batting failed on Saturday and, despite the ideal conditions, the side would have been out for a very low total but for a .sparkling display by S. Reeves, who was playing his first competition match of the season. AVlie'n. City went in they rattled up runs at a very fast pace, C- Fra’ser playing particularly well. Batting first Old Boys made a very bad .start, three men being out with only 16 on the board. Kemp held up an end while Reeves collected runs smartly the pair putting on 29. Brew then assisted Reeves to add 23 and

Caldwell helped him -to put on afurther 28. Seven, wickets were down

lor 97, but Dr. Turbott came to light with -a useful 10 in a stand which realised 30. Both men, however, were then dismissed in successive balls by Bennett. Reeves played excellently for his. 76, hitting two sixers and ten fours, and the manner in which he monopolised the scoring is indicated by. the fact that only 37 other runs came from, the bat while he was at The wickets. The innings closed at 123. Bennett again bowled splendidly and kept an end going throughout the innings to secure six for -58. E. Don took two for 24. and F. Dow two for 33 Fraser and McMahon gave City a fine start by scoring 86 before a wicket fell. Fraser was especially' vigorous and attacked all the bowling in great, style, at one stage sending Lockett ntfor a four and a six off successive, halls. McMahon held up his end well and was 14 when dismissed. F. Dow was also vary forceful and he scoi ed 30 {flour fours) out of 43 put on for the second wicket. E. Dpw nas next and he, too, hit out in das Mr, style. -As Eraser reached the* eighties he slowed down in his scoring rato > hut when only 11 short of three figures, he was caught behind the stumps. He played a really hoe M ning.s, especially J 'n the early P ai > hitting one six and 12" fours. - ™ ri( :.

Carson’s splendid century was the outstanding feature of the match EeT.ween Gisborne Club and Higli School. He gave only one chance and wa'.s at the wickets practically throughout the innings, opening and then being second last man dismissed. An unusual feature was the dismissal of three.-High School batsmen by the hit wicket route. School started badly. Forster breaking the opening stand in the second over and AY. Bright being run out with the total at 18. Sharp stayed until the tqUtl wn s 37 and then .hit. bis own stumps in swinging at a, leg hall. L. Alariin kept Ids end up to 67. but was then howled by Ward who treated the incomer likewise with the next hall, the side then being out for C 7, of which Carson had scored about •10. White bailed very soundly showing a straight bat tc everything on the wfeket. When 31 had been added he had the bad luck to hit his own stumps, again when swinging at a leg hall. T. Bright followed and runs came at a good pace, despite several changes in the bowling. Eventually, when the pair had put on 58, Bright hit his own stumps and was out for a very valuable and sound. 16. Stokes did not stay long, but Forster remained until Carson reached three figures with a sharply run brace for an off drive. The next ball, a beaut*ml oil-break from Caulton, clean-bowled him. He gave a chance behind the wickets when 30. bub otherwise his innings was .without blemish and he was completely at home to all the bowling. He hit one six and 13 fours.- Forster and Bignnll added 16 for the last wicket and the “total reached ISO. Caulton bowled very well under the. difficult conditions, securing four for 40 m 134 overs. Ward kept a-good length to obtain three for 34 in 11 over's, while Forster's two victims cost 44. With under an hour to play, Michael and Ward opened for Gisborne Club and runs came, freely. At 45,however, Michael .was dismissed by. Mrrtin for 27 (including four boundaries) .and., shortly .after, Ward was out lbw to the same bowler for 20. Cave, making his first appearance this season, .batted brightly, but, after sending Cairson for two successive fours he was bowled by the next delivery for 14. Dwyer had reached 11 at stumps and the Total was 77 or The, loss of three .wickets. .-Martin has seen,red two for 30 .and Carson one for 1 "Messrs rF. J- Mace and W. Dunn were the umpires.

DECLARES Largely through a fine not. out in. l nings for 126 by M. K. Boon, Civil ■Service were able to declare their innings closed against- Turanganui, -though,, with the bad bowling conditions, there did not appear ..much to gain by .that course. It- was. particularly .pleasing fo see Boon, who has had a, run .of. low scores- lately,; back to his (real--form. Boon and James opened for Civil Service and both went after the runs hard, 40 being hoisted fit the, end of six overs. James was then out for 20 and Turbitt joined Boon. This pair had a great, time, practically scoring at will, and the tens were put up in rapid succession. When they had added 143, however, the separation came. .AAV 11 s- bowling Turbitt who had reached 59 and hit. one six and ten four's. •Robertson did not. stay long, being' rather .unluckily out-for 12, but Tt. Stewart gave Boon -solid assistance. Boon made himself 100 with a neat late cut .to the, boundary and .when the innings was declared at. 5.T> p.m. he was still undefeated with 126 to his credit. He .had luck on two occasions, but it was dashing cnc-ket and included 21 boundaries. In ope over from Shelton Boon obtained five fours, despatching the last , four balls to the c-halk line .to make himself 97; there was no delay on ,his part because be was approaching three figures. Stew, art was very vigorous also and helped himself to four-fours -in the last,over iirom Wells, finishing up-with. 28 not out, (six foul's in all) and helping to add "41. The iotal of 263 was scored in the course of 33 overs, therefore at.the 'rate .of, practically seven runs per over. ,

Turanganui suffered an early disaster when Hosier was dismissed at S. hut Nicholson.and Wells-then rattled on- 69 smartly, Cue former .being dismissed just before stumps fur a valuable 44 which included seven fours. At fne. close A Veils, was 27 not out and
