THURSDAY COMRETITION WINS FOE CITY AND SCHOOL In the Thursday senior games, played yesterday afternoon, victories ■were recorded to the credit of City and High School in their matches with Cash Stores and ..Soft Goods respectively. The strong City side found unexpected bowling merit to contend with in Cash Stores, and won only by a narrow margin. High School, on the other hand, had a Convincing victory over Soft Goods by an innings and 147 runs. Owen took six wickets. for seven runs, including tho hat trick. CITY v. CASH STORES City won the toss, and batted first. The innings -realised 83, two batsmen ouly, Gough, and J. M. Robertson, reachig double figures. R. Ivess was the destructive force, this bowler accounting 'for six wickets for 30 runs. Cash Stores replied with a tolal of 63—Lory 15, Lette 16, Graham 11 not .out, and Smith 11, being the best scorers. J. M. Robertson's bowling was even more successful than that of Ivess, for he took five wickets while conceding only six runs. City batsmen found Ivess easier to handle in their second innings, but a new bowler, Murphy, appeared to carry on the attack, and his average for the innings was six for 13 in nine overs. Murphy bowled six maideu. overs. The City innings _ totalled 94, and this left Cash Stores wanting 115 to win. They played out time, losing eight wickets for 32 before time was called.
