As I anticipated last, week, Linwood B put up a.,much better batting per-formance-than on the ■ precious Saturday,; but their 229, although a • -v4ry satisfactory score under ordinary circumstances,, was not sufficient to enable them to the St Albatis £raiid total. . The outstanding feature of Saturday’s proceedings wAs Edgaris century. The St Albans batsman scores a heap of runs every season, hut although he had got into the nineties several times he had never been able to reach the three figures. On Saturday it looked as if he had missed again, the score-hook giving him only Ji, hut it was discovered when the

innings closed and the Lin wood fields" men came in that a hit. for which one run had been scored had in reality pitched over the. boundary and that he should have been credited with a six. That his innings was a vigorous one call he gathered from the fact that it occupied only forty-five minutes, and ho hit live (Vs and twelve 4’s. Most of his runs oa.me from his favourite drive, which he used with’ telling effect. But tor his efforts the side would have reached a very moderate total, for when he came in five wickets were down for f'ti, and even after his arrival things did not seem to he shaping for a large lotal, as with one man. absent tho seventh wicket fell at 127. Edgar, however, found an excellent partner in Lamb, who assisted him ,to add 115 for the eighth wicket before Edgar was bowled. The next man did not last long, and Lamb was left unbeaten with 36. As 24 of these came from boundary hits .it can bo seen that ho laid the wood on, but he exercised much more restraint than usual and showed bettor judgment in picking the right ball to hit. A lusty hitter, he is apt to open out at the -wrong ball, but ho held himself well in check on Saturday, and tho success which attended his more careful methods should do him good. Owen, who again came out with tho host average for Limvood, had at one time five wickets for 23, hut Edgar and Lamb dealt with him severely, and he had another 41 hit off him without adding to his list of victims. Lin wood started disastrously in their pursuit of the 304 runs required for a win, Owen being caught behind tho wickets first ball, hut Kirk and Winchester put on GO for tho second wicket, and tlicit with Lawrence's arrival Lin wood stocks began to rise. Tho newcomer started very cautiously, but after he had got his eye in he began to hit 1 reply, and lid so far forgot his usual game as to indulge in tho luxury of a six. One hundred and sixty-five was up when the third,vwicket folk and Limvood looked like making a bid for it, hut the next, wicket added only nine. Patterson and Lawrence, however, gave some trouble, but after the fifth wicket fell, at 20S. the end was not long delayed. Simpson came with a. rush at the finish, capturing Jus last five wickets for one run, and Limvood were all oat for 229, thus losing by 75 runs. Although they have lost their first three matches, they have no reason to feel dissatisfied with their last perionnnnco, and now that they seem to have got over their initial difficulties they should soon begin to make their way up the ladder. Simpson's success at the finish made a. wonderful difference to his average, turning two for 69 into five for 70. So far, in the three matches played, ho has taken twentytwo wickets for 221 runs. ’I he East B-Biccarton A match afforded further proof of the fact that the Easterners arc going to be hard nuts to crack, and also of the fact that Killick, of B iccarton. is a star batsman. Sydenham B amt East B are the two strongest bowling sides in the competition, and to make 105 not out against one and 73 against tho oilier points to a successful future for the ex-High School player. If he will only liven up a little in his movements generally lie may go far. Harrv again secured most wickets_ for East B, and he has now taken 17 wickets for 161 runs. Smytho came out with the good average of four for 16, and wound up the day with a score, of 40 not out. East. jB won by six wickets, but (heir margin would not have been so largo but for the cat dies tho Biccarton men missed. School redeemed their hatting failure of tho previous Saturday by a. most meritorious win against’ Linwood A. and they made so light of the task of getting the 219 runs required to win (hat they hit them off in about two hours, Page, of course, being the prim cipal factor. He scored very rapidly, ;i great many of his runs coming from his finished leg hit tine. Although Dickson was in much longer than Page for only about a third of the latter’s score, he deserves a great deal of credit for keeping up his wicket while the runs were coming at, the other end. Ho scored only 96 of the 188 scored while he was in, but. it was a valuable innings nevertheless. Cowlishaw, the Christ s College captain, has not troubled the scorers very much this year, hut he came quite out of his shell on Satnrdoy with a good century. Such good hats as Talbot and Johnston had gone very cheaply before he went in. and as Pengellv was also out and Mnefiirlane was (renting the howling with great respect, a poor total was quite on the cards. Cowlishaw hit two sixes and ten fpurs, two threes and four twos, and no less than thirlv-eight singles. Lowry and he put on 99 and were still together when he declared, Richards scored rapidlv for Technical, 56 of his runs: coming'front boundary hits, but he got no assistance, and College had an easy win. An interesting point about this" match is the fact that only 19 byes were scored altogether, made up thus: Against College 4 4 1 and 2, against Technical 4 and 4. Either the wicket-keepers or the batsmen were not letting many pass. Although many of the matches at Hagley Park finished early, one lasted till within ten minutes of time, and another right to the finish, and very exciting these two were. In both oases

the fielding; side were behind on th» 6rst innings and bad to get their opponents out to win—in both oases the hatting side had no chance of getting the runs required. for a throe-point win, and were hard put to it to avoid being dismissed. St Albans 13, who were 11 runs behind on the first innings against Riccartou B, made 193 in their second attempt, Martin leading the way with a great 98, so well played that he had hard luck in missing his century. Ricearton were thus left with 183 to get in about two hours, and it soon 'became evident that they would have difficulty m doing this, seven wickets falling for' 66. Lnwin and Rhodes then put their hacks to the wall, and over after over defied all attempts to separate them, .the. St Albans men were easting anxious looks at the clock and at the sky, , where ominous clouds were gatherings but still the two JRiccarton men plodded on, until Unwin was brilliantly caught' bv Lewis low down at short leg. Corn-’ !sh was nc.\t,_ and he proved just as difficult to shift as the other two, but he foolishly ran himself out. Hodcier was last man in, with ten minutes to go, and he started very safely, presenting a straight bat to everything, hut he reached out to a, hall' which broke away, and missing it, was smartly stumped. St Albans thus winning on the post. Johnston bowled excellently for_ the winners, getting live wickets fairly cheaply, while Reid. who seemed to have got back some of his old spin, got three. Rhodes made a. great effort to .save the game. The conclusion of this match left Last A and West B in sole possession, of the held, engaged in a desperate fight. Th> Eastern captain, as it turned out, had delayed applying the closure a.'Htte too long, and West had to get 246 in a little oyer two hours. White alone found himself able to score, and as the wickets toll around Inm he too adopted defensive tactics, and play became very slow, but keen. White and Hay held East W .for a long time, but’ ultimately white was bowled, and Dcy and Hav, the veteran and the colt, were left to maintain tho defence. In tho last over, Hay put one up in tho slips, but the chance was dropped, and West’justsucceeded in escaping defeat. Wilson was away, and there were only nine wickets to fall. East were unlucky to lose, for they were only three runs behind on tho first innings, and they quite outplayed their opponents on Saturday. Burns played another fine innings for them, and one was pleased to soo G. Bullock getting a few at last. Cricket Clubs should see that all Balls are thoroughly “ PluTohsed ” before and during use.
