STRATFORD’S WIN

DEFEAT OF POWER BOARD.

BEERE’S GOOD BOWLING. Stratford defeated Power Board at .Hawera by 105 -runs to 94, some exceptionally good bowling by Beere being the reason. Stratford played out time m a second innings, scoring 63 for seven wickets. _ „ , Stratford batted first and a really good innings by F. Young was the main contribution to the somewhat moderate score. Young hit seven fours and treated all the bowlers with little respect. Walker and Barlow put on 34 for the first wicket and Young and Snell 40 for the fourth wicket. Beyond them, the batting slumped considerably and there were six “ducks.” Crotty got among the tail-enders in devastating style and Geary bowled well. Hughes and Sargeson both batted well for Power Board, but apart from them and Geary and Lendrum, the batting was mediocre and a good chance of passing Stratford’s total was lost. Hughes and Sargeson put on 29 for the sixth wicket. Details areirSTRATFORD. First Innings.

Hawera High School made 121 and Stratford 84 in a match at Stratford in which the home team was handicapped to some extent by having only 10 men to field with though eleven batted. Beal 24, Adlam 20 and Faulkner 12 were the chief Stratford contributors while 'Whitehead 38; McCoy 27, Thomson 21, J.-'Kirkby 12 and extras 19 helped School’s total most. Sage three for 9, D. Kirkby two for 13, McCoy two for 17 and Lester two for 28 were School’s chief bowlers. Stratford relied on Beal three for 26, McKenzie three for 26, Latham one for three and Gorringe one for eight. MANAIA’S COMFORTABLE WIN. The match between Stratford Technical High School and Manaia was chiefly a contest between bowlers, with Manaia having the better of the argument. School batted first and some indication of the efficacy of the Manaia bowlers is given by the low scoring. Kelly, last man in, made the top score of 11 and I. Rybum was next best with 9. The total was 44 and Hobday four for 11, C. Whalen three for 10 and L. Whalen two for 13 did the damage. Manaia made 90, Hobday 35, Barnes 20 and Christie 12. Andersen took four for 15 and I. Rybum three' for 17. - ■ HAWERA WINS. Hawera defeated Old Collegians by 94 to 61. For Hawera Longstaff 25 and McFadyen 24 scored best, Mann taking five for 18 and Croft three for 16. McCarthy 17 and Mann 16 were Old Collegians’ best scorers, A. Stevens taking five for 23 and Fairweather three for 28. • .
