THURSDAY CRICKET

YESTERDAY’S MATCHES R.S.A. WIN KEEN GAME The entrv of the R.S.A. team into the Thursday 'cricket competition, _ which helped so materially to revive interest in the mid-week series, lias iwk lieeti without its rewards to the new club Yesterday the returned men played Wanderers, and in a keenly exerting game ran out the winners with three wickets in'baud. Scoring generally was low, the bowlers being in command on the’day. and (luring the R.S.A. second innings wickets fell at a rate that lent considerable interest to the match. The other competition game set down for yesterday afternoon was Cash Stores v. Y.M.0.A., hut for the second week in succession Y.M.C.A. were unable to field a team, and Cash Stores were given a, scratch game by All-comers, the latter winning on the first innings. In their first innings against R.S.A., Wanderers had to thank M. Guthrie and Knopwood for the greater part of their score, Guthrie getting 16 and Knopwood 14, and the score being no more than 38. (V R. Olsen and J. Harbour were able to show great howling figures at the conclusion the innings, the first-mention-ed taking four wickets for 10 runs RS A opened with Clifton ami lupp, and against R. Carr and M. Guthrie the batsmen followed each. other in fairly quick succession. With eight wickets down, there were only 34 runs on. the hook, hut at this stage Duncan joined Clifton, who had survived thus far, and between them they hustled the scoie along to 52, Duncan making three strokes and getting 10 runs. Clifton carried his bat for'2l, and Duncan was the only other batsmen to reach double figures. , . . Wanderers did better m their secoim innings than in their first, Cooney and Martin making a good opening, and 27 being on the book at the fall of the fiist wicket. The pace could not be maintained. however, and with the exception of Clements, the other members of the side all failed to get double figures, the innings closing for 56 runs. R.S.A. then wanted 43 to win, and in the effoit to score an outright win some of the batsmen took risks early on, later steadying down when they found Guthrie and Carr as deadly as before. Topp made 10 and six others made smaller scores, the total for the innings standing at 39 for seven wickets when time was called. The match was decided on the first innings, in favor of R.S.A.
