SATURDAY’S CRICKET

SENIOR SEMI-FINALS PETONE TEAAI WILL WIN CHAMPIONSHIP. The semi-finals of the senior games, fourth matches, in the second round were - concluded on Saturday at the Basin Reserve. In the match between the two leading teams, Potone and East, the feature was the collapse of the lat. ter team, who were all out on the first innings for 49 runs. Such a collapse was sensational, as East have in the past performed well, and could usually bo capable of a 300 or 400 runs innings. Tie bowling of the Potone men wag exceptionally good, ■ the hatting of East being the reverse. The fielding of E'etone team was keen and spirited, and in this department of the game saved a number of runs. The wicket was a drying one —a "bowler’s wicket.” Petone compiled 239 in their first innings, East 49, and 129 in the second innings. Petone thus won by an innings and 61 runs, and as they are throe ooin-.s ahead of East, it looks as though nothing can prevent the former winning the championship. In the match Qld 80-,s v. North, tno first-named team won by 23 runs on the first innings. At Lower Hufct, Tharndon met Hutt and defeated them in an interesting game. THORNDON DEFEATS HUTT. . The match between Hutt and Thorn, don at Lower Hutt was concluded on Saturday afternoon, and ended in a two-point win for the town club. The previous Saturday. Thorndon, who batted first, was disposed of for 166 runs, and Hutt had lost six wickets . for 43. The only Hutt batsman who showed any batting qualities was Hughes. He received poor support,' and tne innings closed for the comparatively small total of 95 runs. Warne and Plant secured the wickets: the former obtaining five at a cost of 35,'and the latter four for 45.

In the second innings Thorndon scored 73 .runs for nine wickets, and then declared, thus leaving Hutt 145 to compile in order to secure a three-point win. The runs had to be made in a little over an hour. A. Aldersley and Hughes forced the pace, but the task was too great. ’ Towards 6 o’clock the light failed, and run-getting slowed down. A distinct feature of the game as the excellent fielding of the Thorndon team, especially Phillips. When time arrived Hutt had two wickets to fall and 45 runs to make. The scores were as follow: THORNDON. First innings 166 Second Innings.
