WISEMAN’S FORCEFUL INNINGS.

WESTERN PARK B WEAK TEAM.

Playing with only nine men, Western Park B could muster only 37 in the first innings against New Plymouth B (R. Sarten 15, Parfitt 13 not out, K. Ferry 3 for 6). New Plymouth replied with 166, to which L. Wiseman contributed 102 (retired), Webber 19, Ferry 18 and Rowan 11, Wiseman’s innings including 22 fours. Woods took 5 wickets for 45. Requiring 130 to avert an innings defeat, Western Park scored 81 (Church 26 not out, Bruce 12). THOMASON SAVES PARK A TEAM. Going in when Central had taken four Western Park A wickets for 16, Thomason knocked up a forceful 79, adding 105 with Pope (18) for the fifth wicket. The innings totalled 157, Beard (10 not out) and extras (20) contributing to the tailend score. Hill took 3 for 25. Central’s first innings produced 24 (A. Lawrence 10), S. O. Jones taking 3 for 8, Rosser 3 for 7 and Parsons 2 for 0. The second innings realised 43 (Millar 21), Jones taking 6 wickets for 10 runs in 5 overs. OLD BOYS TAIL COLLAPSES. After reaching 47 for 3 wickets in the first innings of the match against Waitara at Waitara, the Old Boys tail collapsed against the bowling of Carr and White and the team was all out for 57 (Wallace 27, Pruden 15). Carr bowled 5 overs for 14 runs and one wicket but in his sixth over did the hat-trick with the first three deliveries and took the last wicket with the fifth ball. His average was 5 for 14 and White’s was 2 for 3. Waitara passed Old Boys’ total for the loss of 2 wickets and reached 102 (R. Gilmore 35, White 21, Carr 15, Bullot 12 not out, Jupp 11), Richards securing 5 tailend wickets for 8 runs. In a second innings Old Boys had reached 40 for 4 wickets (Wilson 27), when stumps were drawn.

DEAD PATCH ON OKATO WICKET.

A dead patch on one end of the Okato wicket that made innocuous deliveries into deadly “shooters” was responsible for small scores by Okato and New Plymouth A. New Plymouth batted first for 42 and Okato replied with 27. New Plymouth scored 31 in the second innings, after which stumps were drawn.

OLD BOYS’ STRONG BATTING. KIWI BEATEN BY AN INNINGS. Two Old Boys batsmen topped the half-century and four others reached double figures against Kiwj. The innings totalled 211 (Scoble 54 not out, Cawthray 54, McKoy 40, Somerton 14, Plumb 13, Hamilton 11). Kiwi’s first innings produced 58 (A. Smith 31), Somerton taking 4 for 11 and McKoy 2 for 0. The second innings realised 34 (extras 16) the damage being done by Somerton 13 for 8), McKoy (3 for 0) and Riley (2 for 6). ONLY ONE MATCH SOUTH TARANAKI SENIOR B. POWER BOARD DEFEATS MANAIA. \ Power Board defeated Manaia in a B grade match at Manaia by 147 runs for seven to 27. Manaia batted first, but before the extremely accurate bowling of D. Hughes, who took three-for seven, and Lendrum, who took six for 16, the scoring was poor, Moses topping the list with eight. Lendrum was to the fore when Power Board batted, scoring 52 before retiring. Hammond scored 28, R. Woolford 24 and O’Dea 10 not out. N. Whalen, with three for 60, was the only bowler to have much effect.
