CRICKET

SHEFFIELD SHIELD NEW SOUTH WALES WINS, QUEENSLAND DEFEATED BY TIME. Sydney, Jan. 5. New South Wales in their second innings against Queensland lost eight for 100—Phillips 29; bowling, Noth-, ing five for 39, Thompson one for 5, New South Wales won by 363 runs on the first innings. Queensland made a remarkable effort to win, time alone beating them, as under Sheffield Shield rules only two hours and ahalf’s play was allowed to-day. The weather was thundery, there was a very bad light and the wicket favoured the bowlers. When play was resumed Nothling bowled in deadly fashion, and wicket after wicket fell. At one stage seven were down for 74. the remaining batsmen, however, playing purely on the defensive, managed to last out time, and New South Wales scored a lucky win. WAIRARAPA v. AUCKLAND COLTS. Masterton, Jan. 6. The cricket match between Waiarapa and Auckland Colts was drawn. Auckland in the second innings lost six for 338, and declared (Langridge 102 not out Whitelaw 57 not out, Monteith 68, Fraser 63; bowling, Irvine three'for 37 Beech two for 75). Wairarapa in the second innings lost three for 155 (Gee 59, Phelps 33 not out, Falloon 25 not out). OTAKI XI v. CANE'S XI. A match was commenced on Nelson Park. Napier, yesterday between the touring team from Otaki, captained by Simcox and an eleven under F. F. Cane, The tourists took the bat first and knocked up 248. several good two-figure scores being made. Beuth, with five for 64, came out best of the local bowlers. At the end of the day the local team were six wickets down for 74. not a very brilliant beginning, Until Evans (22 not) out apd Owen il7 not out) became associated, the home side was in a bad position.

Present—Messrs R. M Chadwick (chairman), C. Louisson, R. Worker. C. Temperton, C. McGhee, H. Stephenson, B. Tweedie, C. Elmes. J. R. Stevenson. V. Rouse. W. J. O’Connell and M. McLeod (secretary). It was decided to place on record appreciation of the efforts of Messrs F. F. Cane. W. J. Hughes and C. U Spackman in arranging matches during the Christmas and New Year holidays. The Question of the date for a visit of a Wellington team to Napier was left to Mr Chadwick and the seerteary, they to make inquiries, as Hawke Cup dates are not yet definitely fixed. The question of financing such a game was briefly touched upon. and it was considered that it could be undertaken provided Wellington sent a first-class team. An estimate of £2O cost to the association was mentioned but that was not thought to be out of place It was considered by some that a Wellington visit if the team were really good, would do more good even than the Australians. lint the association did not intend to be made a trying out ground for eolts. An application was received from the Heretaunga Club for permission to play M. Beuth during the next two months. Rules governing the position were fully discussed. Beuth being a Ricearton Club player, Christeliurch. and being up in this district on vacation. Finally the chairman ruled that the application was out of order.
