NEW PLYMOUTH’S SUCCESS HIGH SCHOOL EASILY BEATEN, LOWENTHAL’S GOOD BOWLING. New Plymouth High. School could make only 96' in its second strike against New Plymouth cm the School ground on Saturday, which, added to the . first innings total of 73, left New Plymouth with two runs to get.for, a foup-point wjn.. No wickets wqre lost in getting the runs. Donnelly scored 28 in ..School’s strike, and Weston carried his bat for 22. Loewenthal ’ sent down nine ‘overs, to dismiss four batsmen, including Donnelly and Johns for only 16 runs. Six catches were dropped' during School’s innings, four by the usually reliable Putcell. ■ F. Ulenberg and Waters., opened to Crapper and the fast. bowler . caught Waters’ legs in front with his .third- ball. Ninkie’s second over trapped Ulenberg the same way. Broughton opened out to Ninkie but Parkin held a gobd catch at deep mid-off. Donnelly joined Johns, and it was not until Loewenthal came on and the score had. risen to' 22 that the two were shifted, Johns being bowled. Faris joined Donnelly dnd played a straight bat, but 24 runs, later lost Donnelly when he played over another fast one from Loewenthal. _ Donnelly. was dropped twice in reaching 28. Faris fell to Nasfnith’s “wrdng-un" and Simpson snicked a hot one’ 6ft Loewenthal for Nasmith . in slips to make no mistake. Crone and Weston, made a stan4 before Groombfidge held a high catch off Crone --Loewenthal’s .fourth victim. M. UteDberg and Urry both fell to catches off Wayne and Weston, Who had been dropped twice, carried his bat for 22. A. Clark and Kinsella, the not-out men of the first innings, carried on to run one bye and a run' to Kinsella. Details are:—’ > ... HIGH SCHOOL. First innings ••• Second Innings. F.

OLD BOYS’ INNINGS WIN WESTERN PARK EASILY BEATEN. KIRWIN AND CHRISTENSEN. Dismissing Western Park for themeagre total of 105 in reply to its own 284, Old Boys forced a follow on. Park failed by 34 runs to avoid an innings defeat. Throughout the game the Park batting was weak—at times almost pitiful. Kirwin, given more work than usual by Old Boys, responded by taking three for 11 and five for 38. With a sore foot causing him inconvenience, Christensen was allowed too much latitude by the batsmen who, in the first innings especially, almost gave away their wickets for him to have the excellent figures of six for 39. Starting the day with seven wickets down for 72, Western Park lost two more without addition in Christensen’s first over but Allen, who batted attractively for 25 not out, and Wilson, added 33 in a bright last wicket stand. The second innings was a slight improvement on the first. Although only 40 runs more were scored, the batsmen showed better'form. A tendency for the ball to keep low was disconcerting and. resulted in the falling of more than one wicket. Of the second innings total AEwart batted patiently for 42. He tookfew risks, though some of his shots were in the air. J. Spedding made •>. bright 31 including six fours. His delight ' in pasting Richardson was evidenced by 21 coming off two overs. Wilson showed signs of returning to form with attractive, forceful batting to make 23 undefeated. _ In the second innings Christensen a first over saw seven singles smartly run by Alton and G. Ewart. His second, however, saw Allen bowled for 5 with the total at 11. A. Ewart joined G. Ewart, who was batting well when he snicked a rising ball to Birch. When Grant joined A. Ewart the scoring became appreci-

ably slower. Grant was forced to retire wheri struck by a fast one from Kirwin. With the idea of attacking the bowling Parkinson soon began to score, but, feeling at one from Kirwin, he should have left, he became Birch s second victim caught behind. Ewart was scoring slowly with singles, relieved by fours. The replacing of Christensen by Richardson was relished by Spedding, who had been decidedly shaky. Christensen’s switching over to the northern end dismissed A. Ewart by a ball that shot along the ground. In his total of 42 there were five fours. Grant returnj ed to see Spedding bowled by ChristenI sen for 31, including six fours. It had been a bright but decidedly risky knock. Five wickets were dow.i for 105. Wilson scored while Grant held his end up until the total was 124, when he was Christensen’s third victim. Cairo. missed the first two balls with his bat, managing to save his wicket with the pads, but the third, a full toss, clean bowled him. Duff stayed with Wilson for a while. However, another almos. ■full toss bowled him when he had made 'seven. A sweet teg glide by Stapleton gave promise of a good innings, a promise dispelled by his wieket being shattered by Kirwin. Wilson had batted safety but forcefully in making 23 not out. Phillips did not bat. The umpires were Messrs. P. E. Stainton, C. O. Berg, V. Duff and J. Brown. Details are:— WESTERN PARK.
