Weir And Vivian Star In Auckland Games
G. L. Weir, formerly of Whangarei, silenced critics of his retention in the Plunket Shield team on Saturday when he hit merrily for 102. Scores in the Auckland championship were: University, 155 and 186 (W. H. Cooper 51, Hayden 42); Eden, 316 for six declared (Postles 87, Weir 102 not out) and 26 for one. Y.M.C.A., 193 and 78 (McDevitt took 5 for 25); North Shore, 251 for 8 declared (G. G. Walters 46, Sale 91; Stevenson took 4 for 85) and 23 for 3. Middlemore, 218; Ponsonby-Bal-moral, 261 (Cleal 61, Clark 35) and 215 (Pearson 91; Warneford took 4 for 22). Grafton, 162 (G. Wallace 44; H. G. Vivian took 7 for 32) and 36 (Vivian 7 for 16); Parnell, 190 and 94 (W. M. Wallace 59; C. Bourke took 6 for 32). Scott’s Injury Verdun Scott, the Auckland crack batsman, who suffered a severe injury to his thumb last Saturday week in the match against North Shore at Devonport, was unable to bat again on Saturday and cannot play today. Scott was on the Devonport ground on Saturday,iwhen a medical examination of the injury was made, and it was decided to remove the thumb nail that evening. This, he was assured, would make him quite fit for the Plunket Shield game with Wellington, which starts at Eden Park, on Friday next. ' ' •
