CRICKET

SOUTH TARANAKI PLAY. LOW SCORING GAMES. WINS TO 'SCHOOL; OKAIAWA, STRATFORD AND .MIDLANDS. Despite the excellent weather conditions prevailing on Saturday afternoon, the general run of cricket matches played in South Taranaki Was that the ball beat the bat. In consequence the totals made were not large. The batting. with a few exceptions, was weak for the bowling, though fairly good, was not, more difficult than usual. School, by securing a three point win against Eltliam, maintain pride of place in the competition. Ok'aiaw'a, though scoring few runs, dismissed the Excelsior for less and won on the first innings. Midland, with a total that was one of the best, won their first match. Stratford lowered Old Boys’ c'olours by a margin of 25 runs. POSITION OF TEAMS.

OKAIAWA v. EXCELSIOR.

The play at flu: wickets in this fixture was very poor, but, it was relieved by much good work ill the field, where some good catches were taken. Okaiawa won by 21 runs on the first innings. Excelsior requiring 30 runs to win with three wickets to fall when stumps were drawn. 'Okaiawa 'opened poorly, A. Betts being bawled with a single on the 'board, and but for a serviceable stand by Penny and .Thomas, there would have been 'a read debacle. Excelsior opened a fittle better and with 37 on for three wickets, they looked likely to head the opposing- total. 'Thomas. Penny and 'Crawford, aided by good catching, disposed of the remainder for 20 runs. In the second innings Qkaiawa fared Still worse and they could total only 48, Penny (20) and Crawford (10) getting the bulk of the runs. With 70 to win, Excelsior made a deplorable start and seven wickets 'fell for 11 runs. Mills and Fairweather were then associated and wore unbeaten at 'the call of time. Penny, with eight wickets, was the best, of the Okaiawa bowlers, while Hughes and Busing did the bulk of the work for Excelsior. 'Scores: — OKAIAWA. First Innings A.

SCHOO3TvTeLTHAM Though in a deficit by 29 runs in the first innings against Eltham, School put on a- better total in the second, and skittling their opponents for 46 runs, they annexed a- three point win by three wickets. Going in first, Eltham, thanks mainly to- good batting by Donnelly, Walker and Bourke, ran to 79 before the last wicket fell. ' The school batsmen failed badly and Sturrock and Turnbull alone «-ot 'double figures. Then, however, Whitehead and Barker ran through the •opposing side for 46 and School was left with 76 to get to win. Sturrock, Barker and Whitehead all .batted well and aided by several useful scores, School secured the- necessary runs with three wickets to spare. Donnelly bowled exceedingly well for Eltham throughout and was easily the most useful man. Scores were: ELTHAM. First Innings.
