OLD BOYS DEFEAT ATHLETIC

DOUBLE CENTURY TO' NEALE ' * ■' • • / , Tho senior cricket match between Old Boys and Athletic was continued at the Bail; on Saturday on a splendid wicket and provided a most interesting contest, Old Boys gaining a win on the first innings, and narrowly missing an outright win. When play resumed Old Boys had-184 for four wickets in reply to Athletic’s 219, hut,the wicket, was very much faster than on the previous day, and for some time had the batsmen in trouble. When three wickets had fallen for an additional 20, and Old Boys were still 16 short, it looked as if they might easily fail to head their opponents, hut then fql|cwed a. long partnership for the eighth -Wicket between Neale and Dalglish, •which realised 169, a record for the eighth wicket, in local cricket, and only the second century partnership on record for that wicket. The last two wickets added 43 and took the total to 416. Neale, who carried his bat lor 231, hit 33 fours and a six, and Dalglish 7 fours. Taylor was still unable to* take the field for Athletic owing to his injury the previous work. Athletic took tlioir socornk strike ’about *5.30, amh after the first*wicket had scored 34 they:collapsed in surprising fashion before Hope. Seven wickets fell for 22 runs, Hope getting tiireo in one over. Pike then hit up, a neat 21, and with eight down for 78 Taylor joined Wells with a quarter of an hour to go, and the pair played out time, Athletic being still 97 behind with, two wickets in hand. Hope secured* seven for 45, five-clean howled. 1 Following are the additional 'scores ! / ATHLETIC Ist innings 219, Second Innings Kinzett, c Biggar, b Hope 11Hull, b Newman 1" Wells, not out jj St. John, b Hope 6 Guy, b Hope 2 Hurley, c McKellar, b Hope 5 Louisson, b ( Hope 9 Still, b Hope 0 Pike, b Hope 21 Taylor, not out * 16 Extras A*
