CRICKET FULL OF INTEREST

Feilding Leads PsibSic Service COLYTON STRUGGLES AGAINST OLD BOYS The game of cricket produces many surprises and even the most slothful game is rarely devoid of some incident compensating to spectators. The game in FeUding has its ups and downs and Saturday on Kowhai Park was another up day, full of bright incidents. Playing against Public Service on No. 2 wicket the Pcilding cloven, ever a doubtful quantity, surprised both opponents and spectators by establishing a lead on the first innings of 33 runs. The exhibition of batting was most encouraging, Salmond striking form and hitting vigorously. His total of 45 included several sixes. Carter also came into the limelight with 51 to his credit while Donaldson and Laing accounted for just over 20 a piece. Public Service got plenty of leather hunting and their bowlers had a trying time until the tail was reached. Buist hit out well and was on the way for a score when the last wicket fell. Bowling honors fell to M'Donald who took six wickets for 57. Public Service replied with a total of 151 for nine wickets, M'Leod being absent. Lange played a steady innings for 44 and L. J. Wild made the most of his play, providing 30 in quick time. L. Sandford took four wickets for 47 and Laing two for 22. Poilding did not utilize their bowlers to the best advantage. The match will be concluded on Saturday next. On the premier wicket Colyton found Old Boys full of action and right out to redeem their previous losses. The country team were sent to the wicket first' and were dismissed for 42, seven of the bats failing to break their ducks. M'Leod was the only one to make a stand and ho supplied more than half of the score. Bramwcll had a merry time with the bowling, knocking stumps down like ninepins. His average of seven wickets for 10 runs will take a lot of beating. Dcwe accounted for tho other three wickets for 32. Full of confidence Old Boys soon passed Colyton’s score without the loss of a wicket, L. Whitehead providing spectators- with an astounding batting exhibition. The leather was sent in all directions and often spectators were obliged to make a scatter as it fell from the sky in their midst on the boundary. It. -was a treat to watch. Telford also made a bid for runs but was cut off at 12 when Jimmy Dcwe joined Whitehead. This combination almost exhausted Colyton’s bowlers, but they persevered and closed Old Boys’ account for 170. Colyton however has not lost all their kick. They opened their second account brightly and have six wickets down for 81. The two cautious bats, Shepherd and Reid were steadily adding to the score when stumps were drawn for the day. Anything might happen on Saturday next when tho country eleven continues its second strike to save a sound beating. Tho following arc tho details:— Feilding v. Public Service, FEILDING—Ist Innings.
