CRICKET

OLD BOYS KNOCK UP 268. PALMERSTON’S GOOD POSITION. Glorious conditions prevailed for the entry upon the third series of games in the second round of the senior cricket competitions on Saturday, while the wickets and outfields were fast and true. Both High School and Old Boys elected to make first use of the wickets on winning the toss, but the schoolboys fared indifferently against Palmerston and Were all out for 132 and, with their opponents replying with 100 for the loss of two wickets, it would appear that High School will be fated to drop a rung on the championship ladder. Old Boys, on the other hand, compiled the respectable total of 268 and, with R.S.A. losing two wickets for a mediocre 14 runs, the present leaders promise to retain their points advantage, although their margin is limited to a bare two points over Palmerston and High School. The position in the junior grade became more defined on Saturday as the result of R.S.A. carrying the day against Old Boys, the former eleven now holding a four and a half points advantage over their opponents of Saturday, who are next on the list. However, the competition is furnishing some closo and exciting games and there is always the possibility of an upset materialising. THE HONOURS BOARD. BATTING .

PALMERSTON v. HIGH SCHOOL. On winning the toss, High School elected to take first use of the wickets, sending Olliver and Robertson to the wickets, and the pair were promising well when Olliver was run out after contributing 11. Cutler failed to stay, while Robertson, who had been somewhat fortunate to survive an appeal for stumping, went third wicket with his score reading 32 and the telegraph standing at 79. With Ongley and Lang becoming associated, the former was doing the major portion of the scoring when his partner put up a catch before he had contributed towards the total: Ongley eventually went sixth wicket at 106, he having been responsible for 46 of the number, but the effort was not maintained, although Hatch (13) and Penman (10) both proved capable of entering double figures, and the side was all out for 132. Mullins, Gallichan and Holher shared the bowling honours for Palmerston. Norris and Pegden were the opening pair for Palmerston, but they were fated to be separated early, the former attempting to play a ball from Lang which was off tne wicket only to snick the leather into the hands of Penman in the slips after he had placed five runs to his credit. Gallichan joined Pegden and matters improved, the late-comer forcing matters, and he was going strongly when Lang got one past him nfter he had contributed 37. Ongley replaced him, and the call of time found them still together, Pegden having 43 to his credit, while Ongley had just entered double figures. AV ith hut two wickets down for 100, Palmerston appear to be in a favourable position to annex a victory. Following aro the detailed scores:—

OLD BOYS v. R.S.A,

With the leadership at stake, Old Boys found themselves minus their skipper on Saturday, but on winning the toss of the coin they elected to take advantage of the good wicket offering. Their opening partnership of Miller and W. Cameron was auspicious for the half century had been signalled before the latter was sent back to the pavilion. Ho had compiled 19 at the time, his partner having contributed the major portion of the runs. With the arrival of Spring, the runs continued to come freely and the century had been passed when Spring returned a ball direct to l’errin and retired with 28 to his credit. However, a few runs later Miller was caught out of his crease by ’keeper De Vantier when he stepped out to a ball from Perrin. He had run up 64 at the time, his innings having been >a vigorous and chanceless one Each succeeding batsman proved capable of, contributing freely towards the total, Rose playing more steadily than usual for his SO, while G. Cameron had run up 23 when he lifted a ball from Peckston into the bands of Broughton, who was stationed out on the boundary. Diederich signalled his return to club cricket by displaying plenty of confidence, opening his shoulders to the bowling and he was unbeaten at the close with 44 to his credit. , __ . ith a total of 268 to make, R.&.A. entered upon'their task disastrously, a foolish call resulting in Broughton being run out before he bad scored, while De Vantier was taken at the wickets by Miller after he had contributed a brace. Perrin and Palmer, however, played out time, there being 14 runs up for the loss of two wickets when stumps were drawn for the day. Following are the detailed scores: OLD BOYS. —First Innings.

R.S.A. definitely established themeelves in the lead in the junior grade by defeating Old Boys, who were attending them an the championship ladder. Having first use of the wickets, Old Boys were dismissed for a modest 90 runs, Eglinton (19), Spring (17), Puklowski (12) and Akuira (10) being the onlv members to enter double figures. A. Weston, with four wickets for 10 rune, Thompson, with three for 28, and J. Weston, with one for 6, were the successful bowlers for R.S.A. In reply, R.S.A. ran up the required number of runs for tho loss of four wickets, but they continued their strike and had nine wickets down for 120 runs when play terminated, Lyons (38 retired), Piercy (20), Wood (18 retired) and Thompson (16) being the Erincipal contributors. The bowling dnours were well distributed among the Old Boys trundlers. Y.M.C.A. BEAT RONGOTEA. The improving Y.M.C.A. effected something in the nature of a surprise by accounting for ltongotea. Taking first strike, \.M.C.A. ran up 154 runs, of which McKay was instrumental in producing 90, while McLaren (23) and Eyre (19) also assisted to that end. Wright, with seven wickets for 26 runs, emerged with an excedent average for Rongotea, but the other trundlers proved somewhat expensive. Rongotea Failed before the attack of, Y’.M.C.A.. their visit being only productive of 85 runs, Arnott (21), Greer (17), Ellery (11) and Lett (10) being the only batsmen to get going. McLaren, with four wickets for 24 runs and McKay, with three for 34 runs, were the destructive agents for Y.M.C.A. HIGH SCHOOL v. PALMERSTON. Ad Terrace End Park, Palmerston had first strike in their match with High School to be dismissed for 51, Hodren, with 19 not out, being the only batsman to reach double figures. Waldegrave, with five wickets foi eight runs, and Barnao, with four foi 12, securing the wickets. In their first innings High School ran up 127, Cutler (2 1), Bradley (20), Bettle (20;, Barnao (20) and Waldegrave (18) being free contributors. Burstall proved to bo Palmerston’s most successful bowler, he securing six wickets at a cost of 29 runs. Palmerston made a better stand at their second visit by scoring 169 runs for the loss of four wickets. Gray (68), Burstall (27) and Greer (26 not out) assisting to that end, and then declared their innings closed, leaving High School 93 to get to secure a four point win within 40 minutes. High School failed in their objective, the call of time finding them with 68 runs up without loss, Cutler having contributed 44 and Moore 20. A threo point win was thus credited to High School. THIRD GRADE. In their match with Phoenix, Technical returned the low total of 45 runs, Pye (16) being the only member to enter double figures. Phoenix, however, fared even worse, their stay at the wickets being productive of only 23 runs. At their second visit Technical made 142, Dredge (72), Gilchrist (36) and Cutler (18) proving to be free 49, Wareham (30 not out), being the only batsman to piay the bowling, and scorers. Phoenix were disposed of for Technical were able to emerge the winners by 115 runs —a four point win. M.C.C. v. AUCKLAND.

Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Feb. 8. The cricket match between the touring M.C.C. team and Auckland was commenced at Eden Park to-day. Auckland won the toss and batting first, compiled 333 runs in 291 ..minutes’ Commencing its innings at 6.45 p.m., M.C.C. had lost no wickets for 9 runs when stumps were drawn. The weather was beautifully fine, but tho players suffered exceedingly from the sultry conditions. The wicket played perfectly, and the bowlers had a trying time under the splendid batting conditions. The gate receipts were approximately £6OO. Auckland’s batting showed up well against the M.C.C. bowling, and in spite of the early dismissal of Mills, the remaining batsmen nearly all scored evenly, to give Auckland a tally which should make the M.C.C. team produce its best batting talent. Weir gave a fine display for 77. _ He scored mostly with well-timed glides to the leg boundary and powerful drives on either side of the wicket. Two chances marred Iris exhibition, ho being dropped by Cornford and Benson, behind the wicket and at mid-on respectively. Anthony batted soundly, compiling 48, his penchant for square cutting gaining him many runs. Gillespie was shaping nicely until he nibbled at Barratt’s off theory and was snapped up behind the wickets. Bright displays were provided by Allcott (42) tyid Finlayson (36). The former hit Bowley for two fine sixes off successive balls. Badeley (20 not out) also hit a splendid six at the expense of W T oolley. The bowling honours were shared fairly evenly by the Englishmen, Barratt, Worthington, Woolley and Bowley each securing two wickets, and Allom one. The visitors’ fielding was smart, but the returning to the wicket was erratic. Rowntre-e was not available for the Auckland team, Badelev replacing him. Nichols, Turnbull and Legge stood out of the English side. Details of the score are as follow: AUCKLAND.—First Innings Mills, c Woolley, b Allom . 6 Anthony, c Cornford, b Bowley ... 48 Gillespie, c Cornford, b Barratt ... 38 Weir ,run out ~7 Wensley, c "Woolley, b Bowley. ... 12 Allcott, 1.b.w., b Woolley 42 Elliott, b Worthington 11 McCov, b Woolley ... 13 Matheson, b Worthington 0 Finlavson, b Barratt 36 Badefey, not out 20 Extras 30 Total ••• 333.

February 12th had originally been set down for the game, but it had been later amended to the 19th only for the holders to find that several of their younger members would be required to go into camp about that time and, rather than ask exemption for them from their military auties, the Manawatu authorities requested a postponement of the fixture for one week. Southland had been anxious to come north earlier, but they have now agreed to the amendment in dates. WELLINGTON MATCHES.

In perfect weather the annual match between the Rangitikei and Feilding elevens was played at Marton on Saturday and resulted in a substantial win for the homo loam, Feilding’s weakness lying in its lack of attack. Tho visitors betted first, and although they were at the crease until the middle of the afternoon, runs came very Jowly, the caution of the batsmen overcoming their “sting.” Hight and G. V. Wild, two Public Service members of the team, were at the head of the score sheet with 37 and 30 respectively, with ,T. Dewe Old Boys) and R. C. Wild (Public Scr- , ice) next in order with 13 and 10 each. ‘Mr Extras” added considerably to tho rally with 23, the innings yielding in all, 133 runs. The homo batsmen got to work quickly and it early became apparent that they would take some dislodging. Barton was the first to go at the expenso of a brace of runs, but from then onwards the batsmen dug themselves in and time was call'd with the board showing 258 runs for the loss of seven wickets.
