PLUNKET SHIELD GAME WELLINGTON MAKES 283. •AUCKLAND 34 WITHOUT LOSS Wellington, March 8. The second day’s play in ithe deciding match for the Piunkez Shield to-day was full of fluctuations which kept the interest of the 4000 spectators keyed to a high pitch. The opening of Wellington’s innings was highly sensational, as Matheson bowled with such devil that he had Foley and Lowry both caught behind the sticks by the time seven runs were on the slate. Anthony supported Matheson so ably that the Wellington batsmen came and went in rapid succession. Six wickets were down for 41 runs, but a solid century by McLeod and a fighting innings by Gallichan, James and Massey enabled the home eleven eventually to reach a fair total. Auckland in the second innings have lost no wickets for 34, and they opened the innings with a 150 lead. The day was fine but overcast with a light northerly. Scores are as follow AUCKLAND.

7V/0 OLD BOY TEAMS WIN.

E. ELLIOTT CREATES A SEASON'S

School Old Boys increased their lead to three points in the Hawke’s Bay senior cup cricket competition on Saturday when the opening series in the third round were completed. They scored an outright win over United, who made a splendid recovery on their previous display with the bat The victory was largely due to a great knock by Worker, who made 47 runs in less than 47 minutes. Last year’s champions, Technical Old Boys, made a hid to score an innings defeat ever Heretaunga but were unsuccessful, the Hastings lads tenaciously clingir g to their wickets. In this game F.. Elliott continued his overnight innings and finished the day with an unbeaten 162. the highest individual score by a Bay player this season, H. 5.0.8. v. UNITED, United entered upon the second innings with a deficiency of 150 runs. The opening partnership of ScottKelly and Temperton had reduced the amount to nearly half when Temperton was caught for 44. including six fours. Three further wiekets fell before the century was reached, then Signail and Love saved United front aii innings defeat. The former did all the run-getting and when he was dismissed the tally was 150. He had smacked six fours in his splendid knock of 47. Love continued his stonewalling but shortly after his dismissal the innings closed for 211. Old Boys were left with 62 runs to make in 30 minutes. Thanks to a wonderful exhibition of running between the wickets and a good brisk knock by Worker Old Boys collected a fournoint win in the last over of the day. Details:— SCHOOL OLD BOYS.
