OTAGO DEFEATS SOUTHLAND GOOD FIELDING SEEN The Otago women’s cricket Second XI defeated a Southland representative team at Dunedin on Saturday by 13 runs on the first innings.

The only Southiand players with previous representative experience were J. Kett, the captain, who contributed a fine 38 not out, and C. Baker, whose score of 27 was the next highest for her side. The youngest member of the Otago team, E. Butler, played a fine innings for 36 and E. Paton contributed a good 27. The fielding of both teams was good, six of the visitors being caught and three Otago players. W. Lewis, the Southland wicket-keeper, was in excellent form. Scores : Southland First Innings M.
