CRICKET

SATURDAY’S GAMES BRIGHTER BATTING ALL ROUND HIGH SCHOOL DEFEAT APPLEBY Almost without exception the cricket provided by teams in the second series of games in the senior elimination competition on Saturday afternoon was brighter than that of the opening games. Good wickets and fair conditions made good batting possible and for the most part bowlers had the hardest task. In all three , games results were reached, wins being secured by High School, Old Boys and Union. In two of the games there was just sufficient time to arrive at a definite result, the teams engaged in these matches showing commendable spirit in making the cricket as bright as possible. High School’s victory over Appleby was a meritorious one while Union thoroughly earned their lastminute victory over Invercargill. Old Boys put up a good performance to decisively defeat Marist. Altogether the afternoon’s cricket in the. senior fixtures was appreciably interesting and the results presage a close and interesting elimination round. Senior Results. Union, 157 for 5 wickets, defeated Invercargill, 152, by 5 wickets and five runs. High School 160 for three wickets, defeated Appleby, 151 for three wickets (dec.) by seven wickets and nine runs. Old Boys, 139 for one wicket (dec.), defeated Marist, 70 and 39 for one wicket, by 69 runs on the first innings. Best Performances. —Batting.— E. Hawke (Old Boys) 71 n.o. J. Purdue (Appleby) 62 n.o.

HIGH SCHOOL v. APPLEBY Wicket and ground conditions were almost perfect for the Appleby-School game at the Herbert street grounds. Some bright cricket was played and at “stumps” over 300 runs had been scored in a little over 220 minutes. The School team put up a meritorious performance by replying to Appleby’s 150 for three (declared) with 160 for the loss of three wickets, thus securing a win on the first innings. Both teams scored at a good rate, Appleby’s 150 being compiled in well under 100 minutes, and High School getting their runs in 130 minutes. Appleby took first use of the wicket and Spence and McGowan gave the side a good start, 41 appearing on the board before a separation was effected. Carson followed (run out) with the addition of only one run, but then ensued a partnership between McGowan and J. Purdue which resulted in increasing the total by 95 runs. Both McGowan and Purdue attacked the bowling with a will and the rate of scoring was very fast. At 137 McGowan was neatly stumped by Pollok off L. Uttley. McGowan’s 54 included five fours. He batted solidly yet brightly and forced the pace when a fair score appeared assured. J. Milne declared Appleby’s innings closed at 3.40 p.m. with 151 on for the loss of three wickets. J. Purdue scored 62 not out (ten fours and one six) in dashing style and looked set for a hundred when the closure was applied. The School fielding was fairly good. Dr. Uttley and Warburton opened School’s innings and wasted no time in attacking the bowling. Both batted freely and defied several changes in the attack. At 64 Dr. Uttley, who had shaped particularly well, was bowled by J. Purdue for 33 (5 fours). Warburton (26) followed five runs later, then Lee and L. Uttley got together and put on 91 runs for the third wicket, and passed Appleby’s total with a few minutes to spare. It was a splendid performance on the part of the boys. All four batsmen shaped well and made the Appleby bowling look anything but strong. Lee found the boundaries five times and Uttley four. School won by seven wickets and 9 runs. The scores were as follows:— APPLEBY. Spence run out 26 McGowan st Pollok b Uttley 54 Carson run out 1 J. Purdue not out 62 Milne not out 4 Extras 4 Total for three wickets (declared) 151 Bowling Analysis.

OLD BOYS v. MARIST Old Boys scored a comfortable victory over Marist on the Appleby wicket. Marist batted first and were dismissed for the small total of 70 runs, only three batsmen (Halpin, S. Hallajnore and Grace) getting double figures. The wicket was in good order and, although Pickard and McKelvey bowled well, the Marist batsmen should have done better. Pickard took five wickets for 16 runs off 14 overs and McKelvey three for 20. They were assisted by exceptionally fine fielding and a particularly good display of wicketkeeping by E. Hawke, who caught two and stumped one. Old Boys’ opening batsmen, Scandrett and Hawke, gave the side a great start, the

first wicket partnership producing 102 runs. Both Hawke and Scandrett batted dashingly. The former was vigorous at times and hit two sixes and eight fours in his total of 71 not out. He gave a couple of chances. Scandrett scored seven fours. Old Boys declared at 5.10 p.m. with one down for 139, but they could not dispose of Marist a second time and thus won by 69 runs on the first innings. MARIST. First Innings.

UNION v. INVERCARGILL Tire Showgrounds wicket was in good order for this game and much brighter cricket than that of the previous week was provided. Invercargill did not open too well but the later batsmen of the side got going and the fair total of 152 in a little over two hours was compiled. C. McKenzie shaped best of the earlier batsmen but it was again left to Agnew to provide the fireworks. Going in number 10 on the batting list Agnew soon attacked the bowling and hit up 41 in very quick time. He was unbeaten at the finish. O’Grady and Marshall, two former Collegiate juniors, bore the brunt of the attack for Union and were the most successful of the bowlers. Union succeeded in scoring the required runs to gain victory just before time. Hamilton gave the team a good start and later with McColl made victory a possibility. Thom and the Pooles also did their share while “Extras” was a general contributor with 23. It was bright batting on the part of the Union men. Hamilton forced the pace and McColl hit hard for his runs. Union won on the first innings by five wickets and five runs. INVERCARGILL. First Innings. Tapley b Marshall 8 C.
