LEVIN V: PAR AP ARATJMTT. ROBINSON CARRIES HIS BAT. FOR 122. Sensational scoring by .Robinson and destructive bowling by H. Baumber were the features of the Levin club’s play against Paraparaumu, on the latter club’s grounds on Saturday. It was ' the fourth time this season that Robinson had passed the century. On February 21st he put up 107 not out against the Paraparaumu team at Levin; a week later he scored 101 at Shannon; on March 21st he opened the innings against Weraroa and retired when he had made 101; and last Saturday he carried his bat for 122. He joined tho Levin club this season, bringing with him useful experience gained in Dunedin and Australia. Robinson plays all round the wicket and and has a leg glance that is particularly useful to him. In possessing such a pair as he and Baumber, who has a fonuidablq record, both as batsman and bowler, the club are indeed fortunate. Tim score which Robinson compiled on Saturday included 19 fours. He opened with White, who made 21 before he was bowled, the total then being 93. Harvey, 14, was the only other member of the team to reach double figures. The home side utilised ten bowlers, ana when the score was 186 for five wickets Levin declared the innings closed. Had'Baumber not hit his wicket, there is no doubt that still fewer of the team would have beer, called on. Paraparaumu were only able to muster 47 runs, to which the chief contributors were H. Weggery 12 and Lynch 20. Eight of the wickets fell to Baumber, for 14 runs, and he bowled three maiden overs. Following are the scores:— LEVIN. Robinson, not out 122 White, b 11. Weggery 21 11.

OTAKI v. WERAROA. Tlio Otaki Club met Weraroa on the latter’s ground on Saturday, the game resulting i:t a draw. Otaki batted first and had the beat of the light, which was very dull when stumps were drawn at 11 o’clock. Kelly proved quite an acquisition, as going in first he defied the bowlers for about two hours, and finished up with 71, including eleven boundaries. The bowling did not seem to trouble any of the batsmen unduly, France four wickets for 116, doing best, the innings closing for 226. In the 7') minutes left for play Weraroa 10.-t seven wickets for 07, F. Phillips playing a free innings for 112, and A. Flutey getting the same bowling average as France. OTAKI.
