A LAST-BALL WIN GAMES ON TIIE OVAL HIGH SCHOOL'S RECOVERY Cricket on the Ova) on Saturday had its exciting moments, and High School obtained a last ball win over Gisborne, Club. Earlier in the afternoon. High School staged a good recovery from a poor lirst innings start, and got within live runs of the Gisborne Club's first innings total. The club skipper made a sporting declaration 65 minutes before time, giving the schoolboys a possible chance of making lip a delieit of 102 runs in the time left for play. Before the last bowl was delivered, three runs were required to win, and T. Sharp sent the hall away for four, this being his only scoring stroke of the innings. The play on Saturday afternoon was the second day of the second series ot matches under the auspices of the Poverty Bay Cricket Association. In the other two first grade matches. City secured an innings win over .Merisi, while Old Boys beat Civil Service by L 0 wickets.

One, point in which interest was aroused was that C. Fraser (City) reached a century, adding 31 to bis lirst day I score of 79. F. Bennett, a team male, 1 added 16 to bis 107. Some of the bowlers secured good averages. Blalhwayt (Gisborne Club) took 10 of the High School wickets during the match for 82 runs. The chief performances for flic day were Batting.—F. Bennett (City), not out, 125; 0. Fraser (City), not out 110; L. Thomson (High School), 57; C. Fraser (High School), not out. 47: 11. B. Turhott (Old Boys), 47: T. Bright (High School), 53; M. I!. Maude (Gisborne, Club), 32: 11. Stovell (Gisborne Club). 32. Bowling.—J. W. Blathwayt (Gisborne Club), 6 for 60 and 4 for 52; Stewart (City), 5 for 21 ; Robertson (Civil Service), 5 for 71 ; K. .fames (Civil Service), 5 for 73; Turbott (Old Boys), 4 for 22; Robinson (City), 4 for 34. i \ I | THE HIGH SCHOOL WIN GAME OF SURPRISES Saturday's play between High School and Gisborne Club was full of surprises. On the lirst day’s scores, School seemed to have little chance of victory. Gisborne Club had made 147 in the. lirst innings, and five of the School batsmen had been dismissed for the small tally of 50 runs. Resuming last Saturday, however, L. Thomson and T. Bright continued a valuable partnership, the former taking his 20 to 57 before Blathwayt got his wicket, while Bright, who succumbed to the same ■ bowler, made 33. Thomson hit) live fours. They added 65 in their partnership. The last-wicket stand between Stephenson and Ccderwall was particularly valuable, and added 17. the total of 143 being only four short of the club teams’ total. Blathwayt took six of the wickets for 50 runs.

The High School innings closed juston the tea adjournment, and it seemed also certain that Gisborne Club would secure a first innings win. However, the club batsmen did not shape too well in their second strike, and four wickets were down for 24 runs. AT. if. Maude was the only batsman making a stand at this stage, until lie was partnered by Stovell. and they added 53 before being separated. Both made 32. Stovell opened bis shoulders and scored freely, his tally including a six and four fours. Maude bit only one four.With the score at 98 for seven wickets, the Gisborne Club innings was declared closed, and High School had 65 minutes in which to compile 102 runs for a win. The innings opened disastrously. The first man succumbed to the second ball off Blathwayt, and the second wicket fell in the same over, making two wickets down for three runs.

Then, two masters, C. Frazer and L. Thomson, became partners. They punished the bowling and put on another 48 before Thomson succumbed to Blat.h- ---! wuyt. School continued In tight hard for runs, and the next two men were run out in their keen endeavor. Excitement became high. When Blathwayt came on to bowl the last over of the match, six runs were required to win. The final bell wcnF before the over was concluded T. White and Frazer were at the wickets when the over was commenced, hut the former was dismissed with the 'first hall. T. Sharn was next man in. A |'bve was run off the fourth hall, and a further two came from an overthrow, leaving three required for a win. Vo runs came off the next three balls. The final one was a loose ball, the only loose one Blathwavl had howled all dav. and Sharp cut it hcautifullv to sonare leg for four, winning the match with two runs to spare. Blathwayt secured four wickets for 32 runs. Scores:— otsborne rum First innings . . . . ..117 Second Innings. F. Wiekons. b Sham . . . . 2 AT. R. Maude, c Bright, b Fla veil .12 V.
