MARRED BY RAIN

CRICKET IN TARANAKI NO NORTH SENIOR GAMES TIKORANGI BEAT URENUI SOME GAMES IN THE SOUTH Cricketers have not been treated kindly by the weather this season, Saturday marking the third occasion of six playing Saturdays that owing to the perversity of the weather it was not possible to carry out the programme set for the afternoon. In the North Taranaki competition it was not found possible to continue the second series of the first round .matches which were commenced the previous Saturday, when New Plymouth (219) met Western Park (38) and High School (123 and two wickets for 14 runs) met Old Boys (101). The matches will probably be played later. In the North Taranaki Country competition a start was made with the first series of matches in the second round. Tikorangi (five wickets for 68) defeated Urenui (58). Urenui had scored 14 for no wickets in response to Tarurutangi’s five for 135 declared (N. Giddy 37, D. Street 33) when rain compelled the abandonment of the game. According to the rules of the association the match will have to be re-played. Tn South Taranaki Stratford A (76) defeated Hawera B (31). For the winners Priest captured six wickets for 10 runs and for the losers Worrall took six for 26. . Old Boys had declared at 179 for six wickets (H. Barker 89, W. Barker 34), and Kaponga had scored 12 without loss when rain interrupted, play. Hawera A scored 163 (Penny 34, West 30, Giblin 30) ? gainst Patea, who were unable to bat owing to the rain. MARGIN OF FIVE WICKETS TIKORANGI BEAT URENUI. LOW SCORING AT TIKORANGI. For the second week in succession Tikorangi cricketers have scored a win. They defeated Urenui on Saturday at Tikorangi by five wickets and 10 runs. The match was marred by rain, which interrupted play at one stage, but later ; play was resumed and Tikorangi were , able to secure the runs necessary for a win before rain compelled the draw- ; ing of stumps. . Urenui had first strike, B. Allen and . C. Wilson putting on 14 for the first ;

wicket before the former was caught out for three. The next three wickets added only 12 when B. Allen was caught out for a well-played 17. I. Sheard and I. Godderidge, each scoring 10, raised the total to 50 for the seventh wicket, but the tail failed to wag, the innings rinsing at 58. The bowling honours were shared by C. Foreman and his sons, O. Foreman and E.. Foreman. Tikorangi started with C. Hoyle and O. Foreman, and when the latter was run out for 9 the score was 28. R. McKenzie added 6 but then J. Sarten 16, including one 6, became associated with O. Foreman, who, batted steadily for 33 and passed Urenui’s total before the third wicket fell at 65. When play was finally stopped by rain Tikorangi had scored 68 for the loss of five wickets. R. Allen with two wickets for one run was the most successful bowler. The details are:— URENUI.

With five wickets down for 135 runs Tarurutangi declared at lunch tune in the match against Brixton at Tarurutangi. After luncheon, however, very little play was possible owing to the rain, and after six overs had been bowled, in which Brixton had scored 14 without loss, the match had to be abandoned. Tarurutangi opened with Stan Giddy and Sid Sampson, runs coming very slowly, G. Giddy and L. Giddy sending down seven overs each for a total of 11 runs. In his eighth over G. Giddy beat Stan Giddy, who had scored 6. Spence Giddy (22) and Sid Sampson (20) were responsible for the score of 49 for three wickets. Norm Giddy and Dick Street then made a useful stand. They opened quietly but as the ball became a little gfreasy and difficult to hold they hit out, adding 65 before Dick Street was caught and bowled by Mcßae for 33, which included one six. Norm , Giddy went on to compile 37, including one six and two boundaries, and with Eric Giddy 16 not out raised the score to 135 for five wickets when Tarurutangi declared- G. Giddy, who bowled unchanged for 23 overs, secured seven wickets for 78 runs. At one stage he had sent down 14 overs for 26 runs and three wickets. Brixton opened with Newton Giddy and N. Denton, but after six overs bowled between the showers it was found necessary to abandon the match owing to the rain setting in.

N. Denton had scored 11, including a six and a boundary. Details are:— TARURUTANGI. First Innings. Stan Giddy, b G. Giddy 6 Sid Sampson, cN. Denton, b G. Giddy 20 Spence Giddy, cR. Furze, b G.

Advice has been received that S. Cole (Tikorangi) and D. Allen (Inglewod) are not available to play for Country B against Town B, at Waitara to-morrow. Their places will be filled by K. McRae (Brixton) and R. Street (Tarurutangi). Saturday saw the final matches played in the country competition prioi' to the harvest, and the competition will not be resumed until late in January. It is understood that the rules provide that any match interrupted by rain must be replayed; therefore the TarurutangiBrixton match, in which no decision was reached on Saturday, will be replayed. The position of the teams is as follows:

TOWN v. COUNTRY MATCH. TOWN A TEAM SELECTED. The following team has been selected by Messrs. H. J. Larkin and D. F. C. Saxton to represent Town A against Country A at Pukekura Park to-mor-row: O. M, Nasmith, P. Hawkins, D. Crapper, T. Larkin, A. Clarke (New | Plymouth), C. Lash, J. Kirwin, H. W. Brown (Old Boys), Christensen, Birch and Donnelly (High School). Reserves: R. Harris (Old Boys) and D. Budd (Western Park). A number of players were not available. Considerable difficulty is being experienced in assembling a B team to play Country B at Waitara. A further attempt will be made this morning to complete a B team, and if this is fruitless the Country Association will be notified accordingly. | SYDNEY CRICKET PERFORMANCES.
