Bob Moss hit the bowling round the green for 49. which "included six 4's and ' a 6. Ted Welch's 43 was the "surprise packet" of the innings. Ted, though he has , skippered the Oarlton dub fox six years, has never been guilty of scoring many runs) but oh Saturday ; he scattered, all care to the four winds and cut and drove and bashed m a fashion that made the United bowlers look ill. A Hoar (23), Lett (17); T. Hoar (17), k. Welch (16), and Aymes (13, not out) also assisted to pjle up the runs. The partnership between Moss and E. Weich put on 70 for the second last wicket while Aymes and E. Welch added 45 for the last wicket. United gave a sensational display m the first innings, the whole team only made 13. "Te Aute" Hoopc: was top scorer with 6. "Duck eggs" were m plentiful supply, no loss than eight being m the United basket. Moss and Tom Hoar were the destroying angels Moss secured five wickets for four , runs, and added another creditable bowling performance to his already long list. Moss is certainly the best bowler Wairarapa has seen for many years. Hoar, secured 5 wickets for 8, the veteran being right -on. the job. United m their second innings put up 77. Waters laid the wood on for 21 and . was the only double figure scorer among the batsmen. Mr "Extras" accounted for 20 runs. Tlie Gfljtertoh and Mastei'ton sonic" teams commenced a fnatch at Masteron on Saturday. Mast crton batted first and made 117. Perry contributed 34' by excellent cricket, his cutting" and driving being very neat. Redmond made a vigorous 19, while »Bewley (14), Logan (14) and Mackellar (11) also played well fqr their runs. There was nothing very startling' about Cartcrtori's bowling. lieechcy (5 for 55) and Carroll (4 lor 18) secured the bulk of the wickets- Carlerton replied with 84, no, less than three mroi being run out through bad judgriient, lip.tween the wickets.

.25, Feast 15, Carroll 10), while Cariton gave two of the most miserable of exhibitions for 38 and 33. Cartertcn tlhus won tiY an innings and 61 runs.
