CRICKET

j. THE SOUTHLAND COMPETITION. SATURDAY’S MATCHES. ‘ Good weather favoured cricket on Satur- ; day when Union met I.C.C. and Appleby I played one innings with Marist. In the earlier j stages of the matches the wicket was in ex- ; cellent order, but half-way through Applej by’s innings began to kick and when Mari ist took up the running was really danger- ! ous for tne batsmen. The outfields were 1 in excellent condition. In the Appleby-Marist match, Appleby won the toss and elected to bat first, being disposed of for 199, Shirreffs, M. Lilley, Poole afid Edwards being the principal run getters. The Marist fielding was far short of what this team is capable of.and many chances were i dropped. The redeeming feature of their i d’splay was a beautiful catch in the long ■ field by Jackson, and the brilliancy of i another young fieldsman—Harrington. Marj is: compiled 28 for 4 wickets when stumps I were drawn. Their batsmen were hamper- : cd by the jumpy pitch. | Union elected to bat first in their match j with I.C.C. and compiled 223. The lion s I share of the run-getting was taken by ' Dixon and Smith, who batted aggressively ; and totalled 90 and 50 respectively. Dixon s wicket fell to a brilliant catch by Romans off Bell. Cook (1.C.C.) bowled well in hs i latter overs and took 7 for 75. I.C.C. com- | piled 57 with the loss of 6 wickets, Cook j (24) and Goodsir (14) being the principal I scorers.

AUCKLAND v WELLINGTON. AUCKLAND, January 25. The Plunket Shield match Wellington v Auckland was continued yesterday when the attendance in the afternoon was estimated at 3000. The visitors carried the previous day’s score from 310 for six wickets to 444, Collins contributing 172. The seventh wicket partnership between Collins and Prince, one of the colts, yielded 95. The home team’s fielding showed a decided improvement over that of the first day. Auckland opened their innings after lunch with Anthony and Horspool, who rose to the occasion and made a great stand compiling 201 before they were separated. It was a splendid partnership. Anthony made 100 without giving a chance, while Horspool scored a valauble 89. Solid bowling and smart fielding kept the rate of scoring slow but the pair defied the bowling and raised the second century after 3£ hours’ sound and careful play. Runs

were very hard to get in the last half hour, during which Anthony scored only four. Horspool was first to go but his partner followed him just afterwards. Auckland were 221 for two wickets when stumps were drawn. Wellington's fielding -was in contrast to Auckland’s display on the first day. It was always crisp and often brilliant. Hiddlestone, who was not tried until late in the afternoon, accounted for both wickets, bowling eight overs for 13 runs. Badcock bowled 23 overs for 69 runs and did not seem to be at his best. The weather was fine but dull and threatening in the late afternoon with a strong wind all day. Conditions were against the bowlers.

Rain fell to-day and prospects for Monday are not bright. SHEFFIELD SHIELD. NEW SOUTH WALES v. VICTORIA. SYDNEY, January 24. The Sheffield Shield match, New South Wales v. Victoria, commenced on Saturday -in fine weather, and on a good wicket. New South Wales sent its second eleven to the field, as the other players have not yet returned from Melbourne.

The batting was surprisingly good, Rock Morgan and Kippax giving a wonderful display. The fielding was lamentable, all three having several lives.
