JUNIOR CRICKETERS
CHRISTCHURCH MATCHES AUCKLAND'S FINE SCORE [BY TELEGRAPH TRESS ASSOCIATION] CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Some sparkling cricket was seen when the tournament among junior cricket teams from Auckland, Wellington, Otago and Canterbury was continued at Hagley Park to-day. Conditions were ideal, the wickets and outfield being fast. Playing against Canterbury Auckland made the good total of 376. Some particularly fine batting was seen, the displays of H. Sutcliffe, who made 112, ana B. H. Warrer, who made 80, being outstanding. The Canterbury bowling did not prove difficult and nine of the team reached double figures. Canterbury made a bad start and at stumps had lost four wickets for 43 runs. In the other game between Wellington and Otago the North Island team scored 270. Otago, at stumps, had made. 124 for five wickets. These four teams are competing for a trophy on the lines of the Plunket Shield and known as the Interprovincial Junior Cup. The wins of Auckland and Canterbury over Wellington and Otago earlier in the week give them four points each, the losers gaining two each. The trophy this year is being competed for for the first time.
