CRICKET

THURSDAY COMPETITION TWO INTERESTING GAMES Yesterday afternoon two games were played in the Thursday competition, an eleven from the- combined clubs entering to provide two games per week, instead of one as formerly. The new team opened its record auspiciously, for thanks to a big strike- by G. Clifton, who just missed a century, they had an easy task in disposing of a City Club team. The latter was rather weak on the day, and this added to the ease with which the combined team beat them. In thy other match, Soft Goods met High School, ami after setting up a lead of 50 on the first innings, eventually went down, the students turning the tables to some effect in the second innings. In addition to G. Clifton’s innings of 99, which was ended by one of his team-mates .subbing as a fieldsman for the other side, and who threw Clifton’s wicket down, there were some good batting pi'-rfnnnuuces. T. File made 58 for Soft Goods against High School, and Badham, who proved the best of the student batsmen, made 59 in short order. Bowling averages were good, on the, whole, and McLaughlin cap! ured six of the School wickets for 27 in their first, innings. COMBINED CLUBS’ DEBUT The new team of players from the Poverty BaV and Gisborne social clubs, funned to increase the interest, in theThursday senior 1 competition, made, its debut yesterday, and if the performance against City can be taken as a criterion, it will not be far from (lie top when the competition ends. Yesterday the players knocked up 210 in one innings, and secured an easy victory over City, whose single innings produced only 66. City opened the butting, and while* Mason and Wells, with 20 and 29 rc j sportively, proved useful .men, the remainder of the batsmen were dismissed for scores ranging from five down to; nothing, being unable to stand up to the combined team’s bowling. For tliq Combined clubs, Thodey took loan wickets for three runs, while Kohlenberg took three for 14, and Forster three for 40.. Forceful batting by thd clubmen rattled the score along, and when the first wicket fell 69 had beci< scored. Forster and Clifton were tho opening pair, and the former scored 21, while Clifton, who was run out, missed 1 the century bv one run. F. T. Chrisp, fifth man in, clinched the victory by knocking up 53, and the. strike- ended with a score of 210 foe (he loss of ejght wickets.

A first-innings disadvantage was wiped (,ut by the High School m short order when they opened their second innings m the game against Soft Goods. The latter learn, hatting first, laid made 158, and then had proceeded to capture the school wickets at a low average cost, leaving the students 50 runs down at the end of the first innings. T. File bil and Fisher 31 were, the outstanding batsmen in the Soft Goods side for the first innings, and there, were several others who got double figures. Martin 17 and Carr 12 were the best, of the School players, though three others made 10 apiece, Fix of the High School wickets fell to McLaughlin, who Conceded only 27 runs in the course of the innings. This bowler showed his skill With the hat in opening the Soft Goods second innings, and ho. made 26 carrying his hat throughout.
