Lockett (Old Boys) was in particularly good form, and knocked up ISS. G. J. Robertson (Whataupoko) scored 138. hr. Sharp (High School) was the most successful bowler, and took eight Turanganui wickets at an average of just over eight runs per wicket. In each of the games high scores were put up. Old Boys put on 283 runs for seven wickets (declared); Whataupoko scored 273, Marist 239, and' Turanganui 178. 'The best individual performances were:— —Batting— G. N. Lockett (Old Boys) .. ISS G. J.

LOCKETT IN FORM

OLD BOYS HEAD SERVICE

Mainly due to G. N. Lockett, who was in fine form, Old Boys had Civil Service chasing the ball for the greater part of Saturday afternoon, and put on 283 for the loss of seven wickets, at which stage the innings was declared' closed. Civil Service at stumps had scored 27 for one wicket down.

• The .Old Boys’ innings opened without promise, and two wickets were down for 36 runs. Then Clifton and Lockett entered into partnership, commencing cautiously to the bowling of James and Boon. Clifton was careful throughout, and his 41 included only two boundaries. Lockett, however, was more aggressive, and the score mounted quickly. After the partnership had added 92 and with the score at 328, Clifton was dismissed. T. Bright, who came in next, was content to let Lockett do the scoring, and in a partnership of 75 lie contributed only 13. Likewise Quaylc, who also scored 13, in a partnership of 71. gave Lockett all the bowling. Lockett fell a prey to Griffiths when the score was at 281, which included no less than 10 sixes and 18 fours, or 132 runs from boundary hits. Scores: — OLD BOYS. First Innings.

WHATAUPOKO’S BIG SCORE

Whataupoko’s first, wicket fell at 26. A Dow. who was partnered by G. ,T. Robertson, had made 14 of this total, the result of a forceful innings, which included three fours off M. Robinson’s first over. Robertson bit Fraser for a four with the first ball of the match and another with the first ball of his second over, but after the loss of Dow Robertson proceeded more cautiously for a time, and with R. Aisiabie, who scored 32, the pair raised the score to 308, the partnership yielding 82. Another good partnership was between Robertson and Niven. Hie latter, coming on at third wicket, down, helping to Taise the score from 123 to 205, also an addition of 82. Thirty-seven more runs were added with Bignall in partnership, and Robcrston succumbed to Fraser as seventh wicket down, at 261. Robertson ’s 138 included oue six and 11 fours. Fraser was the most successful bowler, taking five wickets for 77 runs in 21 overs. Somervell, behind the wickets, caught four of the batsmen and stumped one.

TURANGANUI V. SCHOOL

ONE GOOD PARTNERSHIP

One particularly good partnership saved the situation for Turanganui, who finished with the fair total of 178 runs, to which High School had replied at stumps with 36 for the loss of two wickets.

Turanganui started very badly indeed, and three wickets were down with only nine runs scored. B. Scholium and A.
