Auckland has an astonishing voung cricketer in a thirteen-yeai'-old schoolboy named Darce, whose scores probably constitute a recorcfor boys of his age in Now. Zealand and may be a record for Australasia. By scoring a faultless 175 for the North Shore fourth grade team against Eden on Saturday 1-ist, Darce brought his__ aggregate fcr tlie scmion to 0:25. dm ing lh.ii. we are not halfway thrergh si ason yet. this swimw incrc'.’s but it is apparently partly explained by the fact that Darce plain fo, his school on Saturday morning and f< r his elul> in the altcrm-cns. According to the ’’Herald. ’ ho has made 583 runs for the fourth grads ef his club, and 44 for the eleven, and 398 fc. r hir- school. Hi has scored five centuries, and his average in fourth grade cricket is 145.7. His 175 on Saturday life was made without boundaries, ano included two sevens and three sixes. Viewed merely as a feat cf physical endurance, that a I’.oy cf thirteen should make 175 rum;, nil run cut. is remarkable, but Darce. in addition!. took eight wickets for 22 runs the same afternoon. Fourth gride (cricket is not a reliable test, even (fcr a votings! er of this age. hut his I performances nrc so reniarkable I that it locks as if tho systemiltc j ■ coaching” ccmplm- ed in Aucklami i has discovered a first-mass cricKCtm!in tb’s boy.
