MINOR ASSOCIATIONS DEFEATED. WELLINGTON’S EASY VICTORY. (Peb United Pbess Association.) WELLINGTON, December 22. In the representative match between Wellington and the Minor Associations the visitors made a better stand in their second effort, but as the team was considerably below the standard of the city players in its second essay it reached only 163 before the last wicket foil. Gallichan (46) was the top scorer and showed good form. He displayed some nice strokes. Cameron and Worker also shaped well. Lowry went easy to Badcock.. None of the others with, perhaps the exception of Eden -made any stand. Badcock was very effective, his average being five for 51. Wellington won by an innings and 34 runs. The following are the scores: WELLINGTON. First Innings 297 MINOR ASSOCIATIONS. First Innings 94 Second Innings. H. S. Stephenson, c M’Girr, b Badcock 10 D. A. Cameron, b Badcock 30 N.

HEATHCOTE WILLIAMS SHIELD. |Peb United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, December 22. The Auckland Grammar School has gained the right to hold the Heathcotc-Wil-Jiams Shield for the third successive year by defeating the Christchurch Boys’ Hi gn School by 122 runs. Heavy rain had made the wicket dead and the bowlers could get little assistance from it. Grammar, with a first innings lead of 52. carried their second innings score to 204. Fraser made 56 by powerful driving, and Whitolaw also batted soundly. The challengers, requiring to score 257 mns in four hours, made only 134 this being chiefly due.to the batting of Henry (24) and Escott (28 not out).
