CRICKET

TWO FOUR-POINT WINS FINE BOWLING PERFORMANCES COLTS DEFEAT KAIKORAI Senior cricket matches were again flayed'under the most unfavourable conditions, ori Saturday. Shortly before the matches were timed to. commence heavy rain fell, and, though the wickets were tot- seriously affected, the showers which fell later and the cold wind which blew throughout the afternoon made the conditions uncomfortable. Few good scores were made, the feature of the play being the excellent figures secured by several of the bowlers. The outstanding feat was that of Elmes and-Chettleburgh, who, bowling for Grange, dismissed Carisbrook B for 22, Elmes securing the remarkable figures of five for 7 and Chettlcr burgh three for 6. Dunning, of Carisbrook;A,"was also at the top of his form and, "as the result of his performance in taking, seven for .28, Christian Brothers.;were dismissed for 75. Dickin-son-took six for 41- for Old Boys and Silver five for 31. and Barron three for 8 for Albion, .while for the Colts Mahony secured average of five for 49. -Bot.h_Carisbrook A and Grange secured four-point winsi and wins were obtained? by ♦. Albion.. Dunedin, and the Colts' team, '• which' dismissed' Kaikorai f0r.136. :,. - ... ..',' . _ :., GRANGE; v. CARISBROOK B , Grange;bad ■ lost four wickets for 57 runs <in: response to Carisbrook B's score of' 139-. when play was resumed on Saturday. Knight arid Chettleburgh. the not out batsmen,-faced the bowling confidently until Knight .was dismissed with the total at .> B7, hia ■ own score being ; 38.? Galland batted brightly with' Chettleburgh for half an hour,- hitting a six and two ibure before : he was bowled by M'Kay with a score ,of '22. iWhen Chettleburgh, who had.:baWed quietly for his;3o .runs, and Breeß-followed, eight wickets were - down for 125. .At the, ■ adjournment Grange still required three runs, for a first"inninga lead, and as Letniri was bowled yrith MXay's: first ball on the resumtioia,. a win. for Carisbrook .was a decided - possibility.: "Ledgerwood, however, brought the scores level with a lirace and then pulled ; M'Kay for four the issue beyond doubt. With Chadwiek: he went on to' take the total to; ; 172, .giving Grange a lead of 33 on the > first v innings. Then followed a remarkable bowling- feat by Elmes.- and Chettleburgh, which enabled Grange to a four-point.win by an innings and 11. runs.''Elmes paved the way for Grange's.; success by taking three wickets with.four, balls. .After bowling Geddes he had Newman caught off-the next: ballM'Dougall; survived, an appeal for Ibw off the thild, but returned the next to the bowler, .who took a brilliant low catch. Chettleburgh'was then brought on at the other end, and he and Elmes quickly digpoied\of the ..other batsmen, Carisbrook* who batted one man short, being dismissed , for. a total of 22.

."ALBION v. UNIVERSITY The match between Albion and University was concluded on the Main Ground at Logan Park, the former securing a twopoint win on the first innings. ' With'B2 runs for the loss of only three wickets, the students looked as though they had a good chance of winning, but the next seven wickets fell.for the addition of only 17 runs. The wicket was easy,, and in spite of-frequent rain showers the outfield was in good order, being much faster than on the, previous Saturday, when Albion had put on a first innings' total of 155. With 10 runs on the board, Lawson and Ibbotson resumed University's innings, but the former went when he.had scored 16. Howden joined Ibbotson, and batted attractively to bring the total to 52 before he waited too long for one of Barron's slow leg-breaks and was bowled. Ibbotson was batting steadily, and with Henderson carried - the score to 82. A complete rout then set in and the wickets fell rapidly until the last man was out with the score one short of the century. Silver bowled* consistently well to take five wickets for 31, while Barron provided an effective contrast with his slow deliveries, and secured the excellent average of three for eight. Albion batted a second time, and had knocked up 03, including a»vigorous 30 by. Miller, when' stumps were drawn. Jolly bowled without any luck, several catches being missed off his deliveries.

CARISBROOK A- v. CHRISTIAN | .BROTHERS

The match: between 1 Carisbrook A and Christian.. Brothers .had, owing, to the weakness of'the-batting of the latter team, a;..convincing* ending; .On, the .previous •Saturday Christian Brothers had made 52; and Carisbrook. had replied with IS3 for two wickets ,(D. Cameron 1 not out : 67,. H.'Cameron not,out 40). The; Carisbrook captain' was.content to:rest on this score, and on resuming he put Christian Brothers in again/. The result was most disappointing to, followers of the, latter ..team", and very satisfactory to the Carisbrook men. P. Lynch (21) and J- Blair (10) were the only batsmen'to get into double -.figures in the second strike, and the innings closed for. 75. ' Garisbrook*A thus secured a four-point win.

COLIS v. KAIKORAI ■.The Colts-team secured a two-point win' over Kaikorai by dismissing the hill team for 136. The match was played on the University Oval, where tire wicket had been- affected by the rain which fell -prior to the commencement of play. The not-out 'batsmen, Smales and Stewart, continued Kaikorai's first innings, both going for the bowling from the outset and scoring fast. With three wickets down for 20 at the close of the previous ■ Saturday's play Kaikorai's posi-tion-was not' very. strong, but it was greatly improved by the serviceable knocks of both Smales and Stewart, the former of whoin scored 47 and the latter 43. Talbot was caught off Mahony before he had scored, and of the rest Constable !was the. only .one to* make a stand, scoring 17.. The innings closed : for 136. The outstanding performance of the . match was :Mahony's five wicketa for 49 which compassed 'the collapse of the Kaikorai batting so effectively. The Colts teani commenced'a secdrid innings'and had lost five wickets for 90 when stumps wefe drawn, the best scores being those of Hogg :(38) rand"Mahony/(29)....'■.•., The : score3 were as follows: ! :: / .■:.[■' k:: \ 'M\ colts.; : ':;.. .;•/•:>
