Cooper, wh® was credited with 12, and Goudie, with 13, were the highest scorers for their respective teams. In their second innmgs the Dunedin team totted up 69, Malcolm being top scorer with 32. , The match played between the Anderson s Bay and Southern Elevens was won by the former, who were three runs to the good, owing to the excellent innings of Fitzgerald, who made no less than 41 runs.
