j ■ • : .'■'.•'' l On Saturday last there was 'a 'fairly largo attendance of interested spectators to witness the deciding, match of the p junior championship. It will be .within J the recollection of onr readers that when - High School and Tararu II last met, a dispute aroso as to the number scored off > a ball, hit into an qdjacent'bu'sb;: The association heard evidence on the question, and at one meeting decided that the claim made by Tararu to be allowed 7 f runs was a.fair one, and accordingly ordered lb' game to ■ : be ( registered as drawn. A week later this resolution was rescinded, and the match was ordered to be played over. Inaccordance with this resolution the teams met on - Saturday" and a very- closely contested • game resulted in favour of the snbur* H i ban team.

McGregor 17, Beilly ■ fi; Canlloy 2, Darrow 13, McConnell 1, Brislin 1, Muir not out 2, Lynch 7, Dunlop not out 0, total for 7 wickets, 49. Bowling analysis: Watson 3 wickets for 22, Hefcherington. 0 for 11, Smith 3 for 16. : . ..■.."■ PROBABLES V. POSSIBLES " Everybody's business is nobody's business," and the want -of a set of stumps prevented play being begun tn'« til past 4 p;m. As several selected were absent Clark end Wiggins picked;sides, but Iho gamo was lefo unfinished; owing t,o the light becoming too bad. The feature of the game, such as it was, was • the form shown behind the wickets by Clark. Next week a much stronger 15 is" to do selected, os more players will be available. It may be stated that the stumps are now at Parawai in readness for the came. All players; picked, ' whether Possibles or Probables, should make an effort to bo present so that some real good practice may bo had, arid the really best team available be selected to uphold the honour of the district. ■'.
