SATURDAY’S GAMES. SOME GOOD SCORING. The only senior cricket match on Saturday was that between Union and Marist at Biggar Street. The outfield was in improved order, but the light was difficult all day and drizzling rain came on late in the afternoon. There was some good scoring, Union’s first innings running out at 323, the largest of the present season. Marist also knocked up a big score, but their innings had not been going long before it became apparent that the first innings result could not be altered, and in the later stages the match was not taken very seriously. J. Hamilton, Duthie and Timpany all topped the half century by good batting and a young player, A. Mahoney, also batted very well. MARIST v. UNION. MARIST. First Innings 142 —Second Innings.— B.
