INNINGS WIN

HAWKE CUP CHALLENGE. , MANAWATU RETAIN TROPHY. t ... . ' ; Five wickets fell in the first hour lor 26 runs when the Bay of Plenty team, challengers lor the Hawke Ctip, entered on their , second innings against Manawatu at the Sports.ground this morning. ; The visiting team required 123 runs to make up their leeway on the first innings and at the scheduled time for the luncheon adjournment the last wicket fell for a total of 93, leaving Manawatu the winners by an innings and 30 runs. Although Pritchard was not bowling at. his usual standard, he gathered 6 wickets for 23 runs, and Downes took the other four at a cost of 26. An early rot set in among the Bay of Plenty batsmen, and two partnerships, one of 26 and the other of 27, failed to stem the tide of the fast bowling. At the closing stages the principal interest lay in whether the last wicket would fan before lunch or not. With only one run scored, Spring l did not attempt to play Downes’s ; second ball of the day, and it swung jin two feet from the leg side and j skittled the wicket. Baylcy was clean j howled by Pritchard with 14 runs in the book and Andrews and D. J. Ewart wore batting with 20 runs up 65 minutes after the start. Andrews, a ] 6-year-old Rotorua High School hoy, gave a stylish display and was at the wickets -It min-j utes for 10 runs. He was caught when protecting himself Iron) a ball which rose sharply from Pritchard. _ The bowler’s average was then 2 wickets for C runs. Douglas and Chadwick enlivened the batting and 50 appeared after 77 minutes’ play. The partnership doubled the score, to 52, and Chadwick then went out leg before to Downes. Simmers took the bat and after 100 minutes’ plav 70 were on the board. Douglas contributed 36 before being caught j behind the wickets by Norris.
