DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS.
EIGHTH SERIES OF MATCHES. SLOW BATTING IN SENIOR GRADE. The eighth series of the Auckland Cricket Association's district championship matches i" the senior, second, ami third grades started on Saturday. In the iourth grade (one-day iniitcflfes) tho thirteenth .series was played. • Tile batting in the senior games was slow, and in no match were two innings completed. Thero was only one individual score of 50 or more. Jacobsen just reaching the half-century tor University against -North Shore. 'Hie best, bowling analyses were obtained by McNeill (North Shore) and McMath (Ponsonby), who each got four wickets for i? runs; but McNeill's bowling was not as good as these figures indicate. Kerr U'arneilj took five wickets for 62 runs. . There was a good, easy wicket at tho ! Devonport Domain for University and North j Shore. University won the toss, and proj reeded to spend tho greater part of tho j afternoon at the wickets. The students, who i Played a man short, amassed a fair score, but their batting was cautious, and with tew bright features. The North Shore bowling. on the whole, was poor. University opened well, 145 runs for three wickets being the score at one time. But the last few wickets were obtained by Shore more cheaply, and tho innings closed for 221 runs. Of this total, Jacobsen made 50. Carotins 45, Walker 41 (not out), and Airey 38. McNeill (four for 37) and Howden (four for 50) took most of the wickets. With about 55 minutes left for play, North Shore started very badly, four wickets having fallen for 15 runs when stumps were drawn. The- Grafton-Eden match commenced at Eden Park without much show of lively hatting, and tho rate of run-getting made tho game a slow- one to watch- Grafton went, to the wickets first, and after ono wicket had fallen with only 11 runs on tho board, I). Hay and lleCormick made a stand that added a useful 72 runs. Hay, though ho gave two chances in the slips before ho was caught, gave a creditable display, his score of 44 including live fours. The next highest scorer was Neill. who put on 36. Sloman made 29. and McCormick 26. The innings closed for 135 runs, of which extras were responsible for 18. Brooke-Smith took four wickets for 55 runs, and G. Mills three for 45. Eden lost four wickets before thero wero 50 runs up, but then Sineeton (27, not out), and I. Mills (52. not out) saved total disaster, and tho score was 88 when time was called, without further loss. The match between Ponsonby and Parnell was commenced at Victoria Park on a wicket which was not all that could be desired from a batsman's point of view. Tho pitch was broken at one end, and this fact was fully taken advantage of by the bowlers of both teams. Ponsonby won the toss, and elected to bat. The batting was not exceptional, but Cullimore created some interest by opening his Innings in a confident manner, and showing good form, although he. got only 10 runs. C. A. Snedden was top-scorer with 22 runs. Kerr took five of the Ponsonby wickets for 62 runs. Olliff three for 46, and Warner the other two for 3 runs. Wright and Robinson were the only Parnell batsmen to make a good showing against the bowline of Woods and McMath. and when time was called, Parnell had six Wickets down for 82 runs, McMath having taken four for 56. and Woods two for 26. Wright, who wits one of the opening batsmen, made, 45 not, out, with steady, cautious cricket, and Robinson scored 17. There was some heavier scoring in tho lower rrrade.-\ Eden A knocked up 240 for three wickets airainst Ponsonby. To thi9 total Gray contributed 87, and Murray 50. Thompson scored 62 for Ponsonby. Eden B made 315 for six wickets against Parnell: Gilmore made 61 Mills 60. and Haaso 58-not out. In the third grade.
