PETONE Y. INSTITUTE

SUBURB'S STRONG POSITION. At the Petone oval last Saturday’s sunshine saw the Petone and Instil tut© teams in their first meeting this ' season. Petone, gauging the spin of the coin, sent the townsmen into the field, and knocked up the handy total of 341, only two men failing to reach double figures. Playing safe, though not very brilliant, cricket, the village team batted the whole afternoon, Cate heading their lisi> with 65. Close in attendance were Corner and Hamilton, with 51 each, and H. E. Nicholle with 34, while M. Nicholls contributed 30 and Tarrant 25. Slack fielding under tiring conditions and a batsmen’s wicket gave Petone every advantage.

That it is not impossible to hit Armstrong, even when men ore giving the impression that he is unplayable, was shown at Taunton in the match between Australia and Somerset, played at the end of August, says the London "Field" of September 3rd, by T. C. Lowry, the Cambridge Freshman from New Zealand. Armstrong had bowled 10 consecutive overs for on© run, ■when he came up against Lowry, who had previously made three fours off successive balls from Mailey. Armstrong’s next three overs produced 39 runs, chiefly by Dowry, who hit two fours and a six into the members' inolosure in the first over; but Armstrong got him caught in the long'field in the end. Nevertheless, Dowry, who had hit him for six in the previous innings, made 56, his hits including two 6ixes and seven fours. Lowry played an astonishing innings in the Freshmen's match at Cambridge last May, but, although he seemed marked out as a Blue, the Cambridge authorities thought so little of him that it would be interesting to know bow Somerset came to the con- ' elusion that he was worth trying. He is third in the Somerset averages. T. C. Dowry is the son of Mr T. H. Hx>wry, of Hawke’s Bay.
