SENIOR A.

PALMERSTON v. CITY. PRITCHARD IN EORM. Palmerston required a . little over two hours to 'dispose of City—thanks to excellent howling by Pritchard, whose ten overs included six wickets for 24 runs. C. McVicar batted quietly from the start to reach a total of 23. He hit two fours. Hardie had a shaky opening, but settled down later and compiled 26 runs before he was clean bowled by Pritchard. The latter sent down very few loose balls and in taking all his six wickets he clean bowled the batsmen, one with a full toss. In his own contribution of 75 in Palmerston’s innings Pritchard’s performance was a bright feature. Five fours and six sixes were included in the effort which, in association with that of J. Onglev, sped the total along. Ongley made 48. and reached the boundary on five occasions. Details: CITY. C. McVicar, c Pegden, bßobertson 23 S.

O’Keefe, who went in at first wicket down, produced 20, and Spring, the next man, added 23. N. Gallichan was in a scoring mood as well, and in his 66 hit three sixes off the bowling of his brother, J. Gallichan, whose final bowling average was 5 for 72. Gatley was another to score well, adding 30 runs. Of the United bowlers Gallichan led the averages, while Ross’s was two for eight and Davis’s two for 18. Cockery, one of the stock bowlers of the side, took one wicket for 72 runs. In United’s innings Ross was top scorer with 30, not out, and Cockery followed with 22, not out. Details: OLD BOYS.

Y.M.C.A. , Y.M.C.A.’s LEAD. A comfortable lead over High School on the first innings was established by Y.M.C.A. on the former’s ground. Y.M.C.A. used five bowlers, four taking the wickets, to dismiss School for 124 runs, and Y.M.C.A. had two wickets left at stumps with 279 runs showing in the score book. High School’s best scorer was Baigent, with 30 (three fours) and Davis contributed 22 (three fours also). Spelman’s four wickets for 30 runs was the best bowling average. Edlin and Cameron opened for Y.M.C.A. The former was caught and bowled by Downes with the score unopened, but ‘Cameron and Murchison carried the score to 203 before the next wicket fell, Cameron making 75 and Murchison' 128 in their complete innings.
