THE PLUNKET SHIELD. CANTERBURY v. OTAGO. SOUTHERNERS’ CRUSHING DEFEAT. (Peb United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. March L Canterbury won the Plunket Shield match to-day by an innings and 227 runs. It was a perfect cricket day, calm and hot, with a cloudless sky, and the wicket and outfield were in the best condition. Canterbury declared its first innings closed, with seven wickets down for 523, This was at 2.25 p.m., and at 5.15 Otago were all out for the modest score of 124. The decisive victory of Canterbury was due largely to the batting of Powell and Dorreen, who put on 265 runs for the sixth wicket in 126 minutes. R. O. Talbot and J. L. Powell, the two not-out men, began scoring at once, but Talbot, when he looked like staying for a long time, was caught by Lemin off Knight after adding 10 to his score. 239 —6—23. Dorreen then joined Powell and began what was to prove the outstanding partnership of the match. Both started to punish the bowling severely,^and, in spite of many changes, went on with accelerat-, ing speed. In the first hour of play 108 runs were Powell hit two sixes in quick succession off Moloney, and reached his century after batting 107 minutes. When his score was 130 he hit two more sixes off Moloney. He was by this time slogging 'at every ball from the slow bowler. It was by mistiming a ball from Moloney that his end came. He was far out of his crease, and was stumped. At the luncheon adjournment the score was 504 for seven wickets, the partnership having produced 265 runs. Burrows joined Dorreen, and with him carried the score to 523, when the Canterbury captain, at 2.25 p.m., declared the innings closed. Otago never looked like making a fight in the second innings. Twelve - minutes after the innings opened the first wicket fell when Giles was run out. He called for a short run, and Roberts threw down his wicket.

Knight came in, only to see Strang dismissed by a catch in the slips off Burrow’s, 12 —2 —5.

Cavanagh was next, but within two minutes he • lost his partnei, caught by Dorreen off Talbot. 13—3—1. Cavanagh, with Gale, stopped the processing, but the score mounted slowly. Eventually Cavanagh played one on from Crorub. CO—4—22.

Barton joined Gale, but within a few minute's Otago lost its sixth wicket, Gale being dismissed by a brilliant catch by Powell.

Only five minutes later Barron also went, caught off Cromb’s bowling. 74—6 —9,

Monk and Moloney were now 1 at the wickets, and played the bowling with safety, if with little enterprise. They reached the century slowly, and carried the total to 118, when Monk was caught by Powell off Burrows. 1 , The last three wickets added only six runs. Moloney was caught. in the slips, Hawkcsworth survived only one ball, and Lemin came in only to see Dunning caught almost at once by Burrows. Scores:

SHEPHERD’S RAPID SCORING. Cricket matches were played in fine weather on Saturday, but a cold wind caused the players some discomfort, and a heavily overcast sky made the light bad towards the end of the day. Carishrook won the toss against Grange, and Blunt, after an inspection of the wicket, decided to field. He had cause to regret his decision, however, for Grange knocked up a score of 303, of which Galland contributed 104 by attractive batting. Chadwick scored 40 and Cranefield 32. Cameron, who took three for 44, was the most successful bowler. Christian Brothers dismissed Albion for the moderate total of 155, of which Shepherd scored 60 in exceptionally quick time, hitting five fours in one over. L. Silver, who scored 35, also batted well. Collett (three for 10) and Brookes (four for 45) were the most successful howlers. Christian Brothers have lost one for 16. Dunedin, after losing seven for 54. made 160 against High School Old Boys, the principal scorers being Torrance (35) and Porteous (35 not out). _ Old Boys had lost three for 26, of which nine were extras, when .stumps wore drawn. GRANGE v. CARISBROOK. Grange and Carisbrook met at Logan Park, Blunt winning the toss and deciding to field. Elmes and Boyd opened Grange’s innings and attacked the bowling of Nimmo and Aitken to such good purpose that 30 was brought up after only 15 minutes' batting. The total had reached 47 when Elmes was beaten by Aitken. 47—1 23 Cranefield partnered Boyd and the pair scored at a steady rate, the latter eventually putting hi s leg in front of a straight one from Blunt. 65—2—29. M'Mullan filled the vacancy and enlivened the proceedings by lifting a ball from Blunt over the fence for six. He scored quickly until he played a ball from Douglas on to his wicket. Besides the six he hit five fours. 118—3—28. Cranelickl, after an attractive innings, followed, stumped off Cameron, when’ only two runs had been added. 120—1—32. Galland and Chettleburgh then became associated, the former doing most of the scoring and pulling successive balls from Douglas for four and six. They had added 22 when Douglas clean bowled Chettleburgh. 142 —5 —5. Chadwick partnered Galland, and in a fast-scoring partnership the pair carried the scor« past 200, Childwick eventually hein-' caught in the slips. 208—6—40. Dev kept one end going, while Galland’scored steadily, but went out to an Ibw decision 234—7—4. Jack-on partnered Galland’ and was far from confident at the start Changes of bowling had no effect, how ever, and the score mounted up quickly mainly owing to hard driving by Galland’ who was in great form. After he reached the nineties he had less of the bowling, and it took him some ‘time to score tlie single, which gave him the century. He added a four, and was then smartly stumped. 206—S 104. Jackson and Davis took the score past 300, but the former was bowled by Cameron, and, in the absence of Knight, the innings was brought to a close, 303—0—23.

Owing to the failing light, Carisbrook was not asked to bat. Scores;—

ALBION v.‘ CHRISTIAN BROTHERS,

Albion, the leading team, and Christian Brothers met on the main ground at Logan Park, Albion winning the toss. Allen and Shepherd opened for Albion, Sullivan and M'llroy being the bowlers. The score had reached only 19 when Allen was skittled by Sullivan, and before there had been any addition to the score Duncan was run out through a misunderstanding between the batsmen. The score grew rapidly when Shepherd hit five fours off an over from Sullivan, and Brookes was then given a trial. Shepherd continued to attack the bowling, but he went out to Brookes, missed, and was stumped. He had scored 60 out of a total of 72 after about half an hour’s . batting. -The fourth [ wicket fell at 78. and the fifth at 82, Brookes dismissing both batsmen, but Binney and L. Silver then became associated in a partnership which stopped the .rapid fall of wickets. Silver was much more aggressive than his partner, and was not defeated until his score had reached 35. The partnership added 49, the score being 131 when Silver was dismissed. The seventh wicket fell at 132 and the" eighth at 134, Collett at this stage < having 'an average of three for four. The innings, came to a close after Binney and Wilson had taken the score to 135, Binnev being not out with 29. Albion batted 10 men, leaving a place for Barron. Christian Brothers had lost one for 16 when at 5.40 an' appeal against the light was upheld.' Eleven out of the IS overs sent up were' maidens. Scores:— ALBION. Shepherd, st.

' DUNEDIN v. OLD BOYS. Dunedin and Old Boys met at the Oval No. 1 ground. Old Boys won the toss, and sent Dunedin in to bat, Carrington and Templeton facing Dickinson and Leader. Dickinson’s first over was a maiden, but Leader, with his second ball, had Templeton stumped by Harraway. o—l—o.0 —I—o. Brown joined Carrington and scored the first runs of . the match by placing Leader through covers for two. Dickinson’s second over was another maiden. The batsmen carried the score to eight when a well-pitched ball from Leader clean bowled Brown. B—2—S. Claridge filled the vacancy and opened his account with a lucky single off Leader. Carrington and Claridge took tlje score to 39 before the latter was clean bowled by Dickinson. 39 —3—B. Kenny joined Carrington, but was bowled with the second ball he received without adding to the score,. 39 —4 —o, At this stage of the game Logan came on in place of Dickinson, a‘nd Carrington hit his first ball for a six, and the second he cut for a single. Ditchfield, who had joined Carrington, was caught by Harraway off Logan. 40 —s—o. Torrance filled the vacancy, but the score was not altered before Carrington was run out after giving a fine display, scoring all round the wicket. 45—6—29. Ritchie played a no-ball from Dickinson on to his wickets, but went on to score six before leaving the crease. 54 —7 —6. Porteous was the incomer, and then began the best partnership of the day. the pair adding 79 for the eighth wicket before Torrance skied one to Dickinson, which he accepted. 133—8 35. Torrance played a very determined innings for his 35 runs, scoring with many powerful drives through the cpvers. Hope, the next man at the crease, had added 1 three to the total when he played forward to one from Leader and was promptly stumped by, Harraway. 141-—9—3. White was last man in and opened out to ’the bowling, being dismissed when he had 13 to his credit. 160 —19 —13. The batting honours of the day went to Porteous, who, playing a straight bat, scored all round the wicket, but most of his runs came from powerful drives. His was a finished display, and his score of 35 not out was well deserved. Leader _ and M*Rae opened for Old Boys against the bowling of Carrington and Torrance, With the score at 26 Leader was clean bowled by Carrington with 10. to. his credit. 26—1—10. Edwards Was the incomer, but was run out without facing the bowling. 26 —2—o, In Torrance’s next over. he clean .bowled M‘Rae. 26 —3 —7.
