INTER-CLUB CRICKET

SATURDAY’S MATCHES SOME INTERESTING GAHJESS: THE CENTURY REACHED. TALL SCORING AT PETONE. In the games at the Basin Reserve and Petone on Saturday the scoring was more rapid than usual, and as the wicket was fast some of the totals reached very respectable figures. In the game at the Hut't, Petone secured a commanding lead over Hutt. Hutt batted first and reached S 3 runs. Petone followed on and compiled 351 for. the loss of seven wickets. Qua of the features of Petone’s innings was the century registered by Gedyc, whose score reached 133 before he was caught by Hughes off Lusty. Of the town games, East v. Old Boys is attracting tho greater intercut. The East players are all out for 205 and the ox-Collegians have two wickejs down tor 64. It is anticipated that the latter, a strong hatting team, will have no difficulty in reaching their opponents’ score, in the match North v. Thorndon, the former hid fair to bring about a throe-point win. Following are details: — OLD BOYS v. EAST.

This match formed the chief attraction at the Basin Reserve on Saturday, Tho East team batted first and compiled runs, and at the close of the day’s play Old Boys had two wickets down for 66 runs. East’s total was disappointing. The batsmen wore never at home to Tucker, who bowled well all through the innings, and had an average of five for 37. Hutchings, who made 51, got his runs quickly and showed plenty of judgment in running between the wickets. Schrader’s 55 not out was an innings of patience, and was one of the best displays this batsman has given this season. Lambert and Stainton put on the pads for Old Boys, and registered 39 before Stainton was bowled by Hutchings. G. Baker followed on, but was out Ibw to Hutchings before ho had opened his account. Harris filled the gap, and he and Lambert batted out time. Tho details of the scoring are as follow i BAST.—First Innings.
