SATURDAY'S PERFORMANCES

BOWLEjRS TAKE UPPER HAND Though Saturday's weather and turf conditions were favorable to the production of good batting in the Poverty Bay Cricket Association's first grade matches at the Oval, there were few really good scores made, and none of the, team?* which completed an innings passed thl 200 mark. On the other hand, the bowlers seemed to have tlie, nppc|r hand in all four senior games, and some 'realty good figures were'returned, including R. Bradley's seven wickets for nine rujn's, for High 'School agaiu'st 1 Whataupoko.,J The best performances recorded. were as under:—' < , '<■

. Batting-P. Dow (City), 95;, S./'D, Reeves ,(Old Boys), 50; E, H. -Dow (Whataußpko) 43; C. Fraser (City),',36'; and H. G. Jamieson (Old Boys), 29 not out.

Bowling— R, Bradley (High School), seven wicket for nine runs; E. H. Dow (Whataupoko), five for 24; J. Robertson (Whataupoko), five for 40; O. R. Olsen (Turanganui), five. for 51; E. James (Civil S6rvicc), six for 35. | j

LOW SCORING GAME

WHATAUPOKO LEADS SCHOOL

The Whataupoko team led High School on the first innings of their game, which was characterised by low scoring, the one exception being the stand made by E.' H. Dow, who gave Whataupoko a good start, in company, with J. Robertson and A. Wright in succession. Wright scored 20 runs. Only two other batsmen in the side reached double figures, and among the High School bowlers, R, Bradley established the remarkable performance of taking seven wickets for nine runs, having an unbroken run of success from the third wicket to the ninth.

The innings closed for 115, and the students seemed to have a fair chance of getting control of the game, but they failed to produce any real batting strength, and were disposed of in their turn for the small total of 72. o'. Thompson top-scored with 19, and Cederwall, R. Bradley, and Sharp made double figures, Sharp being not out at the close of the innings. E. H. Dow and Robertson took all the School wickets between them, Dow getting five for 24, and his mate five for 40. Details : WHATAUPOKO First Innings .

PINE PARTNERSHIP CITY MAKES GOOD START The City club team registered a good total in its first innings against Turanganui, the innings realising 196. Three batsme were responsible for a great proportion of the runs, P. H. Dow notching 95 in a. splendid knock which included 12 fours, and one six; C. Fraser making 36, and M. Robinson scoring 26. The partnership, of' Dow and Fraser was extremely fruitful, and carried the score from 21 for one wicket to 109," before Fraser was disposed of. Dow continued to bat aggressively, and was a bit unlucky not to register his century, the catch which dismissed him being a particularly good one "by Wilson. The City team had'a long tail, and the last five wickets averaged only a shade over four runs apiece. 0. R. Olsen was the most successful of the Turanganui bowlers, taking five wickets for 61, while A. Wilson and D. Wells each took two at moderate cost. It was evident at the close of the day's play that City would like a good lead on the first innings, for Turanganui at that stage had nine wickets down for 100, Fraser having taken four wickets and Stewart two. A. Wilson, 29, J. Jennings. 22, and D. Wells, 13, were the best of the Turanganui batsmen. Details:— ' CITY —First Innings— C. Fraser. c Patty, b Wells ... 36 W. Lysnar, b J. Jennings 4 P.

JAMES BOWLS WELL Though the first wicket in the Gisborne Club's first innings against Civil Service fell after one run had been scored, the score-book presented a better appearance before another was down, and for a wlule, with P. C Dwyer batting well, it seemed as though the in iiihgs would yield a sound score. Dwyer went out to a splendid catch by James hi the slips, however, and though the veteran Cooke made a good stand, and Clayton batted well until run out, the rest of the side went cheaply, and tho total only reached 102. The effective bowling of E. .lames, for Civil Service, wi}s the major factor, in getting Gisborne Club out so cheaply, this bowler taking §ix wickets for 35 runs,, all but ono being clean-bowled. Caldwell and Carr fielped. When Boon and James opened for Service, the first-mentioned started his knock with a good four, but thereafter contented himself with less spectacular efforts, being no doubt sobered by the loss of James when only 10 runs had been scored. Boon himself made 17, and before, stumps were drawn Caldwell had notched 26 and Mason 25, Caldwell's, effort including a five, and Mason gettipg 20 of his 25 with fours. A. C. Cooke, who proved hard to score off. bowled both these good scorers. . The score stood at 90 for five wickets down when the game was interrupted. Details :

OLD BOYS V. MARIST REEVES' GOOD DISPLAY .The innings played by Old Boys against Marist owed much of its interest to the display givea by S. Reeves, who made a half-century fairly quickly, and played some nice strokes, his knock including two sixers and six fours. G. L. Winter and E. Hart each .scored 2(1, and If. O. Jamieson, coming on well down the batting list, showed good form and was unbeaten when the last of the Old Boys' wickets fell, his score at that point being 29 not out. The innings yielded 189. N. Lloyd took three wickets for 61, J. W. Reed three for 39, and V. Sexton two for 25.

The Marist side did not bat long on the first day, and at stumps they had two wickets down for 55 runs, one of the wickets having been lost when only two runs were on the book.
