AUCKLAND WINS BY AN INNINGS

WELLINGTON SOUNDLY BEATEN RAINBIRD GIVES GOOD PERFORMANCES (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, February 7. Wellington’s inning in the Shield match finished this morning for 215 and Auckland won by an innings and 35 runs. ~ Fourteen runs were added to ine overnight score when in Cowies thir over Gallichan was tempted to play a ball well on the off from Cowie and was caught by Vivian at second slip. In the next over Cowie turned the tables on Pritchard who had bowled him at the end of the Auckland innings, scattering the stumps. Fifty-four runs were still wanted to avoid an innings defeat when Ashenden, the last man, came in. Kambird, shaping confidently, placed Cowie to the leg boundary and reached 50 with a brace off the same bowler. Garson was then brought on in Place Cowie and his first ball settled the match, Rainbird pushing it up to Cowie at mid-on. The innings closed for 215. It was an excellent innings by Rambird and he confirmed the good impression made in his first knock.
