CRICKET

SATURDAY’S GAMES. SMALL SCORING ON BAD WICKETS Saturday's cricket matches were commenced in unpromising weather, but it gradually cleared and remained fine for the rest of the afternoon. The outfield was heavy and the wickets in bad order. Union rattled up 162 against Invercargill, Smith playing a dashing innings of 60, scoring with powerful shots all round the wicket. Thomas also opened out in good style, and J. Hamilton contributed a steady 28. Invercargill’s opening batsman made a disastrous showing, losing six for 21. John Gilbertson and McCallum then made a useful stand, but the side had lost eight wickets for 58. Splendid fielding by Dixon, Thomas and Sparkes was largely responsible for the debacle. Marist made 105 against Appleby, Driscoll, Brookes and Timpany being the chief scorers. Appleby had seven for 87 when stumps were drawn, Petrie and Poole getting most of the runs.

THE NEW SOUTH WALES TOUR. MATCH AGAINST OTAGO. VISITORS’ MAMMOTH SCORE. (Per United Press Association.) DUNEDIN, February 17. Ideal weather prevailed for the continuation of the match New South Wales v. Otago on Saturday, and a large crowd were present at Cariabrook.

Punch gave a good display of vigorous batting and Kippax gave a delightful exhibition of finished batting, combined with hard hitting in making 150 (not out). A peculiar feature of the game was the fact that each side lost three men to a run out decision. Otago fielding was clean and kean right through an arduous day, but the bowling presented no difficult**’ ** «uen.
