SUBURBAN GAMES

GREEN LANE BEATEN CENTURY TO LONGVILLE THREE TEAMS NOW LEVEL The results of the third series of matches in the second round of the Auckland City and Suburban Cricket Association's championship at the Domain 011 Saturday lends added interest to the competition, as three teams —Brixton, Green Lane and Mnnukau —are equal in the lead. A good attendance witnessed the play under ideal conditions.

In tho principal match, R. Longville and V. Ritchie, with 10 and 10 runs respectively, resumed for Brixton, which had 08 runs 111 hand without loss in response- to tho first innings total of .108 by Green Lane. Runs were registered freely from the outset and Brixton declared, shortly after 5 p.m., with tho splendid total of 255 for seven wickets. Groen Lane, again without tho services of one of its leading opening batsmen, C. Kerr, mado an ineffective start in its second innings, tho young Brixton bowler, Shieglo, repeating his performance of the previous week in dismissing R. Robinson. R. Roughton performed briskly to carry his bat for 35, which included four sixes. Green Lane compiled 77 for two wick(-\ts. . .

There was no doubt about tho decisiveness of the Brixton victory, for which the captain, Longvillo, paved the way with the best individual display seen at tho Domain this season. With strong driving, squarecutting and pull shots ho mado his century, after slightly over three hours, during which he gave 110 chances. His score included 13 fours. Ritchie, who scored 20, mado a valuable stand for tho first-wicket partnership of 107. Tho third batsman. J. Hetherington, showed fine form for his <>•-!. Roskill, one wicket for IS, failed badly and made a total of only 00 runs against Mannkau, which scored 178 on the first day. D. Hetherington added seven runs to make his contribution 30, Langdon reached double figures and the rest of the team, a man ■ihort, supplied the 23 balance of runs. -T. Mann, with six wickets for 3!f runs, bowled effectively, and A. Dunning, three for li), also did well. In its second innings Manuka 11 lost a wicket immediately without scoring, but C. Beat tie and R. Innes played well in a second-wicket partnership of lot undefeated, and the team declared with 107. Beattic pasted the bowlers to all parts of tho field and lifted several sixes. Uoskijl's second innings showed improvement, with three wickets for 77.

Adding only 5*2 runs to its first cJ:iy total of 65 for thrco wickets, Dilworth gave its poorest display to date against R.V.. which scored 135 in its first innings. Tho only player to mako a stand was L. E. Partridge, who was undefeated for 26. Fino bowling by C. G. Finlayson, with foiir wickets for rib runs, associated with C. G. Goldsworthy, two for 32, tied up the batsmen. ,R.V. compensated for a relatively mediocre first innings by registering a dashing 170 for two wickets in its second innings, in v.hich Goldsworthy and T.
