CRICKET.

-.'? CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS. UNIVERSITY SCORES \ 396, BANNISTER NOT OUT, 122. Ideal weather prevailed for the club championship matches P^J"" 8 * J" auspices of the Auckland Cricket Association on Saturday afternoon. The ™Le were hard and fast and the outfields keen, the conditions generally being in favour of the batsmen. In the .senior grade matches good team and individual scores were recorded. University, in its match against Eden, on No. 2 ground at Eden Park, won the fuss and elected to bat. The Urdversity eleven showed greatly improved form on past performances, the batsmen playing £ood cricket throughout the aftexnoom At the drawing of stumps the team had compiled the good score of 396 runs for nine wickets. The hero of the day was Bannister, who played a fine innings for i 122 runs, not out. His display of batting was bright and enterprising, debating the spectators, who cheered him on his return to the pavilion. Another good totting exhibition was afforded by Kelly, who plaved a solid innings for 62 runs. "Extras'"' contributed materially to the score with 50. In the match between Parnell and Grafton, plaved on No. 1 wicket at Eden Park, the former team had first use of the wicket. Unfortunately, last season's champions did not avail themselves of the conditions, the eleven being dismissed for the poor score of 69 inns. The only batsmen to reach double figures were Anthony, who was top-scorer with 20, and Goyde, who . compiled i-». The two Grafton bowlers. Allcott and Wilson, had a day oat, Allcott taking five wickets for 27 runs, and Wilson five for 34. Grafton in . its first innings did better, compiling 167 runs for the loss of seven wickets at the drawing of stumps. Wilson played characteristic cricket for 57, made by dashing and determined batting on both sides of the wicket. Horspool played a sound innings for 38 runs, and Allcott compiled a good and useful 27. With the leading position Grafton should have no difficulty in obtaining the ultimate victory. The match between Ponsonby and North Shore was played at Devonport, where the. wicket was also good and the outfield fast and keen. Winning the toss North Shore opened its first innings somewhat disastrously, the first wicket, Frater, falling with the score at 13. Thefour following batsmen retrieved the position, and mainly doe to the dashing batting of the Dacre brothers, who compiled 56 and 51 runs respectively, North Shore's total reached 199. The most successful bowler for Ponsonby was N. C. Sneddon, the captain, who took seven wickets for 65 runs. Ponsonby, in its first innings, opened promisingly, but the batting sagged hi the centre, and it was duo only to the excellent batting of Bass, not out 24, and of Neild, run out, 26, that Ponsonby was enabled to leave the field with 112 runs for the loss of eight wickets. The most successful bowler for North Shore was Coates. who took four wickets for S3 runs. Townsend shared the honours with three wickets for 54 runs.
