CRICKET

SECOND SERIES COMPLETED TWO OUTRIGHT WINS Timaru, High School and Star secured wins in the second series of the South Canterbury Cricket Association’s senior competition matches which were concluded on Saturday. The weather was fine but overcast conditions being favourable until late in the afternoon when the light was a trifle troublesome. The wickets were in excellent order. Witn 12 minutes to spare High School won outright against Temuka at the Rectory, a feature of the game being the fine bowling of Blue, who secured an excellent average. Full noints were obtained also by Star who had an easy win ' over Geraldine on the country wicket. Timaru and Celtic met at the Park. Celtic going down to a first innings defeat. HIGH SCHOOL v. TEMUKA. When play concluded on the openingday of the High School-Temuka match at the Rectory, School had compiled a first innings total of 305, and Temuka had lost no wickets for nine runs. The not out men Salmon and Budd continued on Saturday, the latter being bowled by Earwaker when only six runs had been added to the total. Earwaker and Blue were both treated with respect, the bowling being of a high standard. Edwards was howled without opening his account. Salmon being joined by Reynolds, who last year was a prominent member of the Christchurch Boys’ High School first eleven. Reynolds demonstrated early that he was a useful type of batsman and was confident facing any of the bowlers. He lost Salmon who had given a solid exhibition for nine, while Harwell, who followed, skied a ball from Blue and was sent back to the bank without opening his account. When Tully and Reynolds became associated the score was taken from 21 to 77 before Reynolds, who had played an impressive innings for 41, placed a leg ip front of Earwaker. Tully received little assistance from the remaining batsmen, and although Temuka fought hard to avoid a follow on, the bowlers were on top and shortly before 5 p.m., the side were all out for 100, Tully being unbeaten after a well-played 41. Blue took heavy toll with the ball, the last five wickets being collected by him at little cost. In his last over he just missed the “hat trick.’’ High School had an hour and a half to secure an outright win and this they did with 12 minutes in hand. When Tully. Budd and Salmon were dismissed the total stood at 17. Reynolds again coming to the rescue. He batted with confidence but was restrained. With the exception of Horwell. who notched 11, and Reynolds, who secured 29, before again placing a leg in front, none of the batsmen offered much opposition to the bowlers. Blue again obtained splendid figures, and exploited the Yorker with considerable success. HIGH SCHOOL First Innings 305 TEMUKA. First Innings. Salmon, c G.

TIMARU Having lost four wickets for 71 runs in their first innings on the previous Saturday, Timaru resumed last Saturday, Wilson and Herdman having six and four respectively to their credit. Both batted confidently to Kane and Sullivan, getting the bowlers away to the boundary. When his total stood at 38, Herdman was clean bowled by R. Mason after a good innings. Inglis was next, but after notching a boundary and a single he was caught and bowled by Kane. Thompson lasted only long enough to break his “duck,” but Wilson continued to bat forcefully, lifting Purcell clean over the boundary for a fine six. He was eventually caught by S. Mason off R. Mason after a good knock which yielded 65 runs. McCarten carried his bat for three, the side declaring with 187 on the board for the loss of eight wickets. R. Mason was the next successful bowler, taking three wickets for 30 runs. S. Mason and T. Hertnon opened Celtic’s second innings, the first strike having yielded 129 runs. Mason had compiled only seven runs when he was compelled to retire with an injured leg and Lang joined Hertnon. The pair settled down and runs came more freely, but with his total at 16 Hertnon was taken by Thompson off Herdman. and shortly after Lang fell a victim to Allcott when he had made 10. R. Mason suffered a similar fate after scoring a brace and a four, and the only batsman to make a stand was Purcell, who was undefeated with 23, his total including three fours. At stumps Celtic had lost five wickets for 93 runs. Following were the scores:— TIMARU. First Innings.

In the second innings the Callahan brothers were the opening pair, but Simon was caught by Barlow off Smith before scoring, and his brother, who hit four twos in succession. found 13 an unlucky number.
