PLUNKET SHIELD MATCHES. AUCKLAND BEATS OTAGO. (P*» United Pbess Association.) ' i AUCKLAND, January 3. , Auckland won the Plunket Shield match against Otago by 198 runs. Otago commenced tlfeir second innings in perfect weather, requiring 323 rone to win, but made a' poor showing, being all out, after two hours’ batting, for the small total of 124 runs. Otago teams have rarely done themselves justice in Auckland, and to-day was rio exception. The Otago men lacked all semblance of enterprise, and, with the , exception of Shepherd and Galland, nearly all played a defensive game, making the Auckland bowling appear more difficult than it was. Shepherd played a fine innings for 43, and was ably assisted by Galland, who compiled 41. Scores:— AUCKLAND. First innings ... 298 " Second innings ... ... 178 OTAGO.
