SUBURBAN GAMES

RESULTS ON SATURDAY RAIN DELAYS THE START CENTURY TO R.

Most of the games were confined to one innings, and play generally was slow. An outstanding batting performance was recorded l>.v R. Robinson, for Crecti Lane, whose century against (he Royal Air Force was a feature of the fourth series. The meeting of Crceii Line and Air Force, the leading teams, caused more than usual inierest. The opening pair, O. Kerr ;iml It. Robinson, gave Green Lane a splendid shirt and tile scoring was much faster llian in the til her mulches."
