SENIOR CRICKET

Second Series in Final ROUND COMMENCED The second series in the third and Anal round of the senior matches of tho Manawatu Association’s championship was commenced on the Sportsground on Saturday in ideal weather. Palmerston disposed of School for exactly 100 runs and have commpiled 215 for the loss of one wicket, Pegdon rattling on over half the total. The match between Old Boys and R.S.A. is much more even. The honours so far rest with the exsoldiers, but the final issue is still in doubt. Old Boys have made 135 while R.SA. have lost seven wickets for 172. School t. Palmerston.
