CRICKET

M.C.C. AND SOUTHLAND VISITORS’ PLAY VERY RESTRAINED. 284 FOR NINE WICKETS. Invercargill, Jan. 4. The M. 0.0. team commenced the match against Southland to-day, and batting first had scored 234 for nine wickets when stumps were drawn. Steady rain fell early this morning, and although the weather cleared and the sun shone later it was decided to postpone the commencement of the game till two o’clock. During the afternoon several light showers fell, causing play to be suspended for brief intervale. The wicket was in good order and the outfield was on the heavy side. The display of the Englishmen was not at all impressive, and the restrained manner in which some of them batted suggested that no liberties could be taken with the bowling, which seemed rather flattering to thelooal bowlers. Even Woolley, who made 79 in two hours, rarely opened out. Duleepsinhji failed to get going. He made a few wristy scoring shots, but was badly beaten by Coupland after scoring 18. Legge, who with Woolley assisted to take the score from 59 to 162, produced some really attractive strokes at a faster rate than the left hander After the dismissal of these two, the wickets fell rapidly, nine of the visitors being out with the score at 203. A great stand was then made by Allom and Cornford, whom the bowlers could not separate before time was up. The most successful Southland bowler was Coupland, formerly of Wanganui, who took six wickets at a cost of 80 runs. He bowled very steadily throughout, and seldom did the batsmen attempt to attack him. Scores:— ENGLAND. First Innings.

SHEFFIELD SHIELD MATCHES. QUEENSLAND’v. N.S.W. (United Press Association—By Cable— Copyright.] Sydney, Jan. 5.

New South Wales in the second innings lost three for 368—Bradman not out 205, Kippax 115, Fairfax 10. McCabe’s bowling against Queensland was the subject of admiration and much favourable comment. Bradman, who has now scored over 1000 runs for the season in first-class cricket, received an ovation. He is regarded as the outstanding batsman of Australia. VICTORIA v. S. AUSTRALIA.

GAMES IN THE BAY

OLD BOY COMBINATIONS VICTORIOUS. TWO FOUR-POINT WINS RECORDED. The Old Boys’ teams of the High School and Technical College were each successful in securing a fourpoint victory on Saturday when the fourth series of matches in the Hawke’s Bay Cricket Association’s senior cup competition was continued. For the second day’s play the wicket was in favour of the trundlers, who also derived some benefit from the poor light that prevailed. Tech. Old Bovs made 272. which was four runs greater than the aggregate of the two innings of Heretaunga. On the other wicket School Old Boys dismissed United twice for 229, giving them an innings victory by a single run. Another century was recorded, this time by Stephenson, who brought his overnight score to 114. HERETAUNGA v. T.C.0.8. Replying to the Hastings lads’ 167, Tech. Old Boys continued their innings with three wickets down for 115. Stephenson (61) and Shepherd (38) resumed batting, but Shepherd was dismissed early. Evans and Stephenson made a good stand and had no trouble in passing the double century. When 114 Stephenson returned a catch to Kavanagh with ih p score-sheet reading: 225—5—114. He had knocked up three sixes and nine fours Of the tail-enders, Pine macle a hefty knock his 21 runs consisting of five fours'and a single. Evans batted steadily, and shortly after his dismissal the innings closed for 272 Following the tea adjournment Heretaunga entered upon the second innings. Half of the first fifty runs were recorded by Kavanagh, whose wicket was the third to fall. Vogtherr was the onlv remaining batsman to make anything resembling a respectable showing, and he was not out with top score to his credit. The last wicket fell for 101, giving Old Boys the yerdict by four runs, De-

The two stonewallers, Cane (3) and Swailes (1) resumed batting, hut the former went after five runs had been added to the total. The next three wickets went cheaply, and when Signall and G. Stevens became associated! the score was 37 for six wickets. Signall lost no time in attacking the bowling and quickly mastered the deliveries. In a bright, breezy knock he contributed 65 (one six and 12 fours), bringing the total to 120. when he was dismissed. The remaining three batsmen added only six runs and the innings closed for 126. A follow-on was ordered, and again a poor start was made by United. Four wickets fell for 24 when J. Stevens came to the front and made a useful knock. However the tailenders failed to make a stand, and the side was dismissed for 103. Owing to a misunderstanding Old Boys entered on the second innings and knocked un four rims to make certain of their victory. DetailsHIGH SCHOOL 0.8. First Innings • ■ • 230 Second Innings.
