CRICKET IN CITY

Saturday’s Matches In Heavy Wind

PRITCHARD'S PINE BOWLING FEAT A very strong wind from off the hills on Saturday robbed cricket in Palmerston North of its glamour. A threatening rain, however, fortunately held oil. XIA TOA v. CITY ICia Toa were unable to open out, even Murchison, who raised a century and a-half in the previous match, having to be content with 25. His score included three fours and one over the fence. City had established a fair lead at "stumps, Collis >8 56 including six fours and one six. KIA TOA First Innings Spiers, cS.

Galliehan to cricket this season, but he did not fare very well. The outstanding feature of the game was the capture of all ten of Old Boys’ wickets by Pritchard. Spring’s 65 was a fine effort and included seven fours. Another praiseworthy knock is that of Pollitt, who, with six fours to his credit, is unbeaten at 54.
