CRICKET.

AUCKLAND . ASSOCIATION. WINS 'FOR LEADING '. TEAMS. ,'NO CHANGE IN POSITION.;' The result ~' of Saturday's mater in; the Auckland Cricket Association's senior grade championships was to leave ' the leading teams ih'tho same relative positions on the championship lists. Parnell and Ponsonby each secured a three-point -..win, so that .'the former -team'still.' loads by/one point..-Graf-ton secured a two-point decision from Eden. The match- between' Parnell ' and University was notable for a complete collapse of the latter's batsmen, , Parnell on the first day had only made 154. University had lost four'wickets for 21 runs. t Following on this, the students were all dismissed for the small total of 66. In the . second innings they fared even -worse, only compiling 42, so that Parnell could have won without the 101 they put on for two wickets In tho second innings. Ponsonby, with a big score in hand from the previous week, made 242 for nine wickets. North Shore made only 71 in their first innings, and being required to follow on were disposed of for the second time for 143, jiving Ponsonby the game by an innings. . ., t + ■.. ~. , .-..' Grafton gained the decision from Eden by 28 runs on the first innings. The position of the teams in the championship is as follows-: — P. W. L. D. Pta.

. FIRST GRADE. PARNELL V. UNIVERSITY. "With four wickets down for 21 runs, University resumed against Parnell at Eden Park. The remainder of the team did not contribute, very largely to the total. Fawcett, who was run out at' 16, was the only batsman to roach double figures. Pa-rnell batted for the second time, and _ after making 101 for the loss of two wickets, Anthony contributing 86, Doble 27 not out, and Midd'cton 23 not out. sent University to the wickets again. The second venture produced only 42, the best' stands being made by Airey, 11, and Brennand, 17. In University's first innings Simpson took five, wickets for 23 runs and E)oble three for 17. In the second, Simpson secured four for 18 and Doble four for 23. The detailed scores were: — PARNELL.
