LOCAL CRICKET.

SATURDAY'S GAMES.

Tararu and Karaka Win.

BOTH TWO-POINTERS. WICKETS FAST AND TRUE. r ' ' The wickets were fast and true for the continuation of the Thames Cricket Sub-Association's competitions on Saturday, when Karaka defeated High School on the first innings, and Tararu did the same to City, both teams thus notching two-pointers.

Tararu's Big Score,

Gibson won the toss and put Tararu in. The commencement was sensational, Gibson bowling Hoyle with a trial ball and doing the same with his next. However, Otto and Morgan settled down, and after the former had been brilliantly caught behind the stumps by Twentyman for a well-played 42, Morgan carried on to 88. Billing also batted nicely for 58, and Baker got 24. Gibson was the only bowler to be dangerous, getting three wickets at a cost of 53 runs. Tararu declared with 227 on the board for 5 wickets.

City batted freely, and could only get 53. of wliich the only doublefigure scorer was Crawford-Watson, with 14 not out. Morgan and Billing each took two wickets for 5, and Fox 2/4, whilst Otto took 4/17.

Following on,, Cfyy did better, putting on 8S for 6 wickets. Riekit made a nice 27, and Shaw 15. Morgan, Billing and Fox shared the wickets. Tararu thus won on the first innings. Details: —
