SENIOR COMPETITION. GRANGE AND OLD BOYS SCORE WELL. SMALL TOTALS AT CARISBROOK, Playing under perfect conditions, batsmen scored heavily in two of the games in the senior cricket competition on Saturday, though in the third the totals were unusually small. Playing against Albion at Logan Pai’k, High School Old Boys compiled the large score of 284 for the loss of five wickets, Giles scoring 74, Dickinson 66, Moloney 67, Leader 32 not out, and Alloo 32. Grange was also in scoring mood in its match against Dunedin at the. North Ground, and had knocked up 312 for the loss of nine wickets at the call of time after losing six for 130. The chief contribution was that of Riach, who hit the hall all over the field to score 87 at the rate of a little less than a run a minute.. M'Mullan scored 64 and Chadwick S 6. Good fielding in addition to accurate bowling enabled Carisbrook to dispose of Christian Brothers for 86. Playing a man short as the result of an injury to Dunning, Carisbrook replied with 88. The bowling honours were well divided, M'llroy taking four for 10. GRANGE v. DUNEDIN. Grange and Dunedin met at the North Ground, Grange winning the'toss and batting first on a good wicket. Knight and Boyd were the opening batsmen, Badcock and Coupland being the bowlers. The first wicket fell quickly, Coupland getting Knight Ibw with the third ball of his first over. M*Mullan partnered Boyd, and the pair batted carefully against accurate bowling. The second wicket also went to Coupland, Boyd being dismissed with 14 to his credit when the. total was 20. Galland filled the vacancy, and a productive partnership began. Scoring at a good' rate by attractive cricket and running cleverly between the wickets, the pair had the bowlers thinking, and Strang tried several changes. Finally, Galland, at 27, hit out at a ball from Carrington and was caught, the score being 101, * The adjournment was then taken, and oh the resumption Elmes joined M'Mullan, who ■ had scored 36. Cavanagh took up the attack, and Elmes returned the second ball he received, a full-tosser, to the bowler. Only a single had been added to the total. Chettleburgh was the incomer, but after scoring only a single he returned a ball to Carrington. who took a good catch, and five wickets were down for 111. Chadwick filed the vacancy, and the rot was broken. Badcock and Coupland were soon brought on again, M'Mullan driving the last ball of the ex-Southlander’s first over hard to mid-off, where Ditchfield took a fine catch. The total was 130. Riach came in and put some life into the proceedings by lifting a ball from Coupland into the trees for six. Some lively, cricket followed, both batsmen hitting hard, and Chadwick placing the ball nicely. Riach lifted Badcock for _ another six to bring 170 up, and gave his second chance when he was missed at 24. Ten and nine came off successive overs from Badcock, and 11 were scored off an over from Torrance. The crowd enjoyed every minute of the breezy partnership, which added 81, Chadwick’ being caught behind the wickets off Torrance with his score at 33, the total being 211. Riach was loudly applauded when he reached 50. He continued to score freely, and passed 70 with another six off Cavanagh, His innings came to an end when he skied a ball from Robertson. He had scored 87 in a little over an hour and a-half, hitting three sixes and 12 fours. Nine wickets were down for 259, J P u “ edi . n ' B : fif?kt was by no means ended, Lemin and Dey playing carefully, gathered runs steadily, and changes in the bowling had no effect. The pair were not separated at the call of time. They had added 53 for the last wicket, the total 'being 312. Scores:— ’ GRANGE. ; ' First Innings.

CARISBROOK v. CHRISTIAN BROTHERS. . match between Carisbrook and Christian Brothers at Carisbrook proved slow and uninteresting. It was a day of low scores and good bowling figures, despite the fact that for the most part there was nothing very troublesome about the bowling. Carisbrook won the toss and sent their opponents in to .bat, and comparatively early in the afternoon had disposed of them for the very ordinary total of 86 runs. Carisbrook’e nelding was excellent, and contributed largely to the speedy dismissal of the batsmen, two being run out. Blunt was bowling fairly well, and managed to impart considerable spin to the ball. He took three wickets in one over, and had a momentary average of three for six. Cater on he proved more costly,' and finished up n WI^1 ree f° r 30. Dunning bowled well, securing . two for 18. Consistent bowling, backed up by good fielding, accounted for/the downfall of Christian Brothers. Rodgerson, with 12 to his credit, was the highest scorer for Christian Brothers, but the side owed a great deal to Cusack and Collet, whose last stand P r °duced badly-needed runs. The top score of the day was 17, netted by Cameron for Carisbrook. This batsman started off well, and looked like scoring a lot when he put has leg in front of'a ball from MTlroy. Blunt also opened when he was 15 he played Blair on. Carisbrook, who were without the services of Dunning for the innings, made only 88 for nine wickets.. came off during Christian Brothers"’ innings suffering from an injury to his leg, and did not go in to bat. MTlroy, who took four wickets for 10 runs, headed the howling averages. He performed well throughout the innings, and included three maidens in his eight overs.

ALBION v. OLD BOYS. The match between Albion and Old Boys was commenced on the main ground at Logan Park on Saturday. The weather conditions were ideal for cricket, and Old Boys batted throughout the afternoon to compile 284 runs for five wickets. The wicket, which played well, and the outfield were fast. Gale and Moloney were associated at the commencement of the ■ innings, and they took the bowling quietly for some time. Gale eventually lost his wicket, after scoring 21 runs, being clean bowled by M'Gavin. Moloney and Giles carried on, the former playing with confidence. The fielding was not good, and Giles was lucky_ several times when easy catches were missed. Moloney was next to go, with 57 runs to his credit, being caught by Miller off Shepherd. Giles went on to reach 74 before being caught and bowled by Silver. Dickinson played an excellent innings for 60, when he was run out. Leader and Alloo made a good stand, each compiling 32 runs. Alloo was attacking the bowling strenuously when he was caught by Miller off Duncan. The bowling was steady' throughout tlie afternoon, but it had few terrors for the batsmen. Shepherd, Duncan, and M'Haffie were fielding well. Scores:—■ OLD BOYS.
