LIVELY CRICKET

OLD BOYS COLLAPSE. McBWEENT MAKES 115 NOT OUT. Tho first matches of the second round in the week-end orlokot competition were brought to a conclusion on Saturday when again Ideal conditions prevailed. Hallway had an unexpected four-point win over Its old rivals, Old Boys, who collapsed in tho second Innings of 88. Tho Schoolboys, who led by 78 on the first innings, had a throe-point victory over R.S.A.

The highest scorers for the day were McSwecny (R.S.A), who made 115 not out In the Soldiers’ second strike, Hollier (High School) 75. Ono-ioy (Railway) 56, McVlcar (Railway) 43. F. C. Bennett was the only batsman to make anything like a stand for Old Boys, he making 45, over half the total of the team. Blues Woil Thrashed.

On the opening day, Old Boys (battod first and made 210, Railway having lost two wickets for 83. Eyre (4) and Trevenit (6), the not out men, re-opened the batting. At ,89, Trevena was caught without increasing his score and McVlcar went to the crease. Next over Eyre lost his wicket to Black and the telegraph signalled 89—4—10 when the Railway skipper, Ongley, joined the veteran. The pair quickly brought runs and the century was attained by a boundary to Ongley. He was the more aggressive and reached his half-century in good time. McVicar was cautious and allowed his partner to break the bowling! Ongley added six more runs before Piercy penetrated the defence and the score read 177—:5—56. The retiring b ataman had found the fence on ten occasions and tho partnership had realised 88. Kells soon returned a hot one to Tremewan . The McVicar-Hearfleld combination proved a profitable one half a century being added to the aggregate before Hearfleld joined the groat majority. Hollier made ten before losing his wicket, and Letts added five when the score was 25G. Oakley made a promenade to the wicket and back and the Innings closed with McVicat not .out for 42.

Old Boys required 46 to save an innings defeat and sent In Bennett and Broughton. Bennett did all the scoring, with Broughton stonewalling. 37 being signalled before tlie latter was caught by 'keeper Treyena, A rot then set in, two balls later Black falling for a "duck.” A. Guy soon succumbed to McViqar, his brother fared worse, giving his wioket to Golllchan's second ball. Brake found a duck’s egg. Bimy, after, making two singles faced ~ Qalllohan, whom ho knocked for a alx, following It with a four, but with the next ball, the bowler obtained hla revenge and the score was 6 for 69. Bennett was the next to\ fall returning a hot one to GalUchan after making 45 In great style. He had four.'"lives’’ during his career at the crease and .on each occasion ho expressed his appreciation with either a six or a four. The next two wlcketst fell for eight rune and 1 the team playing short, the Innings closed, ' V'."' Railway required 48 for a fourpoints win, and with less than 30 minutes to go, sent in Henrfleld and Gallichan. The pair did not waste tlxna and 27 was signalled when (Qalllchan retired with three fours to hla credit, to be followed quickly by his partner.
