TO-DAY’S CRICKET.

SENIOR GAMES. The third round of the Canterbury Cricket Association’s senior A competition was continued to-day. It was not ideal cricketing weeather. A strong wind blew from the south-west and the sky was overcast, with dark clouds which threatened rain. After the heavy rain last night the wickets were soft. COLLEGIANS V. OLD BOYS. With 31 to make and only three wickets to fall, F. Powell and Killick resumed Old Boys’ innings against Old Collegians, who made 315 last Saturday. Runs came slowly but surely, and when Killick went, well caught in the deep by Lawrence, off Heasley, only ten more runs were needed. Graham joined Powell, and after careful batting brought the score to 216 by a risky shot just past point. Powell was well caught by Lester off R. Hamilton soon after, and the innings was declared, nine wickets being down for 120. The Old Boys bowlers quickly got in among the Old Collegians batsmen when the latter commenced their second knock. Bruges, Lester, Chrystall, and Lawrence went early, their united contribution being a two by Bruges. H.

W. F. Hamilton made eight before he went lbw to Burrows. 40-5-8. J. M. Hamilton, who opened, was then associated with his brother, W. J. V. Runs came slowly. I. AT. Hamilton went after the score had been carried to 76. R. H. T. Hamilton golf to work immediately, getting a pretty six off Cromb. The detailed scores were:— OLD COLLEGIANS.

Against West’s total of 162 St Albans had 89 on for four wickets when Crawford (31) and Falloon (0) resumed the innings to-day at Hagley No. 1. Hawkes and Findlay were the opening bowlers on a wicket favourable to batsmen. Craw-ford brought up the century with 1 a couple off Findlay. The batsmen were showing confidence and the score mounted steadily. At 108 Cocks relieved Findlay, his first over being a maiden. Findlay went on at the west end two overs later. Bowling changes were of no avail and a bright partnership continued. In one over from Hawkes Crawford clouted two leg balls to the boundary, 11 coming off the over. This brought the total past West's and St Albans seemed assured of at least a two-point win. The fourth wicket partnership passed the century mark when an expensive over of Foster’s produced 15 runs. Falloon brought 200 up with a nice drive off Findlay for four. Crawford was now opening out and boundaries were frequent. With a boundary ofl Cocks he reached his century after three

hours’ patient batting. At last the partnership was broken when Falloon was taken behind the stumps off Cocks. 243-5-68. Falloon had batted exceptionally well for his first appearance in senior cricket, and with Crawford he was responsible for fhe addition of 356 runs for the fourth wicket. Doreen was the next man in. The batsmen commenced to flay the tired bowling. and Crawford lifted Findlay over the fence for the first six of the match, following -the hit with a boundary. In the same over Booth dropped an easy catch from Doreen, who had another let-off next over when Co<-ks failed to hold a high one. He showed his appreciation by putting Findlay over the fence. Cooks then In Findlay’s next over Jarrett h'ald a good catch, dismissing Crawford after a great innings. His score included sixteen fours and one six. 292—7—134. Thomas was Cocks’s next victim, Jarrett accepting a catch. 302 Johns then joined Sandman. Hawkes took over fi-om Cocks with the score at 327, while Foster relieved Findlay at the other end. Johns was stumped after a good display. 3 52—9—28. Scores:— WEST CHRISTCHURCH. First innings 162 ST ALBANS. First Innings. F. Woods, b Hawkes 34 R. H. North, lbw b Hawkes 10 R.

A change of bowlers was tried. Sincock bowled from the north end in place of Cunningham, who went on at the south end with the wind behind him.
