Can Y.M.C.A. Win?

A.C.A. CRICKET CONTINUES

Champions Up Against It

THE dual championship holders in the A.C.A. senior cricket competition, Eden, will be hard up against it when they resunie their match with Y.M.C.A. to-morrow. The Young Men have 300 on for six wickets, and the question is. “Can they hold their lead when Eden bats?”

A jrreut innings of 102 by Bowley nut Y.M.C.A- in this position. Tliey Vill be faced to-morrow with the task of dismissing Eden for less than they themselves make—and if Bowley and Lyon come to light, it is possible they may do it. Varsity, with a first innings tally of 262, appears to have the wood on Shore, while a three-point win at least is already almost a certainty for Ponsonby against United Suburbs. The ponies have 201 for four, in reply to Subuibs’s 57. An even game, with the possibility of a close tlnish, should result on Mo. 2 wicket at Eden Park, where Grafton has replied with 62 for none to Parnell’s 106. After looking down the Graftonians' batting list—llorspool, Langiidge. Allcott and others—it appears likely that Grafton will be ahead on the first innings, Goodeir and McCoy, however, will no doubt come into t<fre reckoning:.
