CRICKET

SEKIOR CHAMPIONSHIP , THIRD SERIES of matches f UNIVERSITY AND Y.M.C.A. Judging by the keen competition M evident in the first two scries of matches played in "tho Auckland Cricket Association's senior championship, tho third series to be commenced to-morrow should provide bright and interesting • lay. The principal match at Eden Park jon *No. 3 wicket will see the meeting of University and Y.M.C.A. Tho former lowered • North Shore's colours last Saturday and impresses as a powerful combination. However, Y.M.C.A. has riven solid displays and should bo capable of holding its opponents. • close and exciting game should bo witin the meeting of Parnell and Ponnnbv on .No. 1 wicket. The latter is at present leading tho competition, by reason of hrilliaut six-i*>int victory in the last series. Pamcll although not up to full strength, is « dependable side.. King's Old Boys and irafton will travel to Papatoetoe. The disniavs give.a by King's Old Boys have been •rratie and Grafton appears to have the better prospects. There should be little to fhoo«C between North Shore and Eden in the came at Devonport. Lower grade competitions will be continued. Following are tho teams:— KING'S OLD BOYS First Grade. —F. M.

SUBURBAN MATCHES FIRST SERIES TO CONCLUDE The first series of matches in the Auckland City ajd Suburban Cricket Association's senior c/ia'mpionship will be concluded at the Domain to-morrow. The result of all games appears in doubt, and keen cricket is expected. In the principal matcli on No. - wicket tjreen Lane compiled 200 In Us Erst innings, while ,R.V. scored It runs without loss. Should the openin'g pair Bambury and Clarke strike last year's form, R.V. is. capable of getting the required runs. Wicket conditions. however, may assist Green Lane, which has a good attack. Brixton showed good form to compile ISO against ManukaU which has lost four valuRble wickets for 30. The Brixton bowlers are likely to. give Manukan a difficult task. Ihe frame between I'onsonby and Roskill shojild be interesting. The latter scored -04 in its first innings, while Ponsonby compiled —1 without loss. ... -ii The sen.or B section and junior grades will 'tlso be continued. - NEW ZEALAND COUNCIL i;' SHIELD SCHEME REJECTED [BY TILEG R APR—A??9CT ATI ON ] CHI3ISTCHURCH. Thursday The proposal for a fifth Plunket Shield tfan consisting bf the minor as&pciations in , the Wellinst.rn Province was rejected by the - biennial conference of delegates to the Zealand Cricket Council to-day. Ihe matter was broiiKht up in a remit from the Manawatu Cricket Association. Although the loo'I oo ' ference voted on' the remit and it was lost by IS votes to 0. it will be brought forward at the annual meeting of the council tomorrow evening. Actually six delegates voted aeainst the Temit and nine for it, nut, smonK the six in -opposition were the four delegates from the major associations, who were each entitled to four votes. 1 his swa.vefl the voting with the result that the remit ww lost. . Referring to the present touring team llie chairman. Mr. A. T. Donnelly, said the council would bp very short of funds for "one time as toe result of the loss on the English tour. "In fact, I think the guarantors of the tour will have to be nsked to ray up some of their guarantee, to allow the cconcil to carry on," he added. A.remit from Manawatu with the idea of •nastenin? the game was carried in an amended form. It concerned the time taken b.v a batsman to reach the crease after the dismissal Of th<f- previous batsman, and as carried it read: "That an, incoming batsman lot at the crease within 'two minutes of the 'all of the last wicket shall without an *speal forfeit his wicket unless both umpires shall otherwise direct." A request for selectors from the minor associations, one 'to represent, each island on '"tare New Zealand selection committees, contained in a remit from the Wairarapa ' Association, was lost without any votes being recorded in its favour.
