A BRILLIANT GISBORNE - BATSMAN. GISBORNE, This Day.. Something in the nature of a world's record stands to the credit of Mr. L... McMahon, of Gisborne, captain of tb<* Wanderers Cricket Club. In Saturday senior competition this season to date hiv has been dismissed only once, and up till last Saturday had aggregated .491 runs, consequently this stood as his. battmtr average. On Saturday he played a brilliant innings for 161 not out and raised hie aggregate and average for the season to the record of 653 runs. It is claimed here that if the projected visit of * New Zealand team to Australia comes off tins brilliant batsman and all-round player should undoubtedly .bo included _as on his present form he is unquestionably one of the finest batsmen in the dominion. It may be, mentioned that the bowling'which McMahon has to contend with is good average club .bowling. DOVEDALE V.
