HAWKE’S BAY BATSMEN GIVE PATCHY DISPLAY

Fast Bowlers in Form

ENGLAND WINS BY AN INNINGS AND 248 RUNS BECK SHOWS PROMISE Per Press Association. NAPIER, Last Nignt. Tho M.C.C. to-day defeated Hawke’s Bay by an innings and 248 runs, the home batsmen failing against the accurate bowling of tho visitors. Early in the innings, wickets commenced to fall, Nichols and Allom making great pace off tho hard and fast wicket. Six wickets fell for 35 runs, and then Beck (35 not out) and Evans (18) made a very game stand, adding 23 for the next wicket, whilst the next, when Kavanagh joined Beck, produced another 39. The innings eventually closed at 119. Woolley reaped a harvest at the expense of tho later batsmen, claiming four wickets at a cost of only 14 runs. Following on, tho Bay batsmen again showed a lack of confidence and to the bowling of Allom and Woolley, the vi-cke.ts soon fell. Eight were down for 62, but the tail did exceptionally well and provided the bright spot of the day’s play. For the ninth wicket, Nairn and Ivavanagk added 55 tuns, and the last wicket sitand produced 27, tiho innings closing at 144.
