THAMES V. ROTORUA. v . . The local representatives journey* ed to Rotorua on Good Friday and met the Rotorua players on Easter Saturday, Thames proving successful after an interesting game. Batting first, Rotorua compiled 110 ,Woodward 56, not out, and Johns, 17, being the principal scorers. The former played a very fine innings. Thames replied with 136 (Gleeson 52, G. Buchan 22, Dare 19, not out, and Griffin 15.) Gleeson played a very useful innings, and was unfortunate is not carrying his bat. Time did not permit of two innings being played.
