SENIOR B NOTES. The third round of matches in the senior B grade was concluded on Saturday in fine weather. The best performance of the day was a century by J. Earl, of Old Collegians.' Mainly through his fine effort Old Collegians compiled 309, as against 246 by East Christchurch. The latter failed in their second innings, making only 101, and Old Collegians won by ten wickets. A. S. Jacobs (Old Boys) was also in good form and knocked up 71 against Christ’s College. College batted the whole of the previous day for 294 for nine wickets, while Old Boys passed their score for the loss of eight wickets. Although Old Boys only won on the first innings they gained a three-point win, as Christ’s College had to draw •tumps half an hour before time in accordance with their school regulations. At Rangiora the scoring was low, Rangiora, who made 166 and 83, beating Sydenham 118 and 105, by 26 runs. Boys’ High School scored a twopoint win over West Christchurch, whom they beat by 45 runs on the first innings. St Albans defeated New Brighton with an innings to spare. The following table shows the positions of the teams:—

X X X OLD COLLEGIANS v. EAST CHRISTCHURCH. When stumps were drawn on the first day Old Collegians had lost three wickets for 88 runs in response to 246 by East Christchurch. The not-out men, Earl and Crowley, did not last long together on Saturday, the latter being clean bowled by M’Clelland when the total was 97. Graham joined Earl and the pair set up a fine partnership which added 116 to the total. Graham gave a sound display and his total of 51, which was scored in fine style, included eight fours and a couple of sixes. Earl continued to play good cricket and reached his century with a boundary shot. He was caught off Candlish soon after and Old Collegians declared with nine wickets down for 309-. East failed rather badly in their second innings and were all out for 101. J. Barwick, who played for the team two seasons ago. was the highest scorer with 26. Hamilton and Graham bowled steadily and took three wickets each for 20 runs. Old Collegians had no trouble making the necessary runs for a three-point win, Crowley and Tothill hitting up 44 in a few overs. Following are the scores:— OLD COLLEGIANS. First Innings.

OLD BOYS v. CHRISTS COLLEGE. Christ’s College batted the whole of the first day against Old Boys, and declared with nine wickets down for 294. Although faced with a big task. Old Boys managed to pass that total for the loss, of eight wickets. In the earlier stages of the innings the wickets fell regularly, and the score-board at one stage showed 106 for five wickets. Then Thorne came to light with a useful 42, and the total reached 155 for the sixth wicket. The next wicket went fairly cheaply, and then Jacobs and Bilcliff became associated in • a partnership which gave- Old Boys the game. Jacobs gave a finished display, and his effort added 71 runs to the total. Bilcliff continued to bat freely, and with Moffat, brought the total up to 300. Following are the scores:— CHRIST’S COLLEGE.

ST ALBANS v. NEW BRIGHTON. At New Brighton, St Albans had first strike, and made 227, and then put New Brighton out for 46. Following on, New Brighton made a poor start, and lost five wickets for 46. Jarvis and Turner stopped the rot, and carried the total on to 101 before they were separated. J. Cockle added 22, but the others failed to make a stand, and the innings closed for 127, giving St Albans a three-point win by an innings and 54 runs. Following are the scores:— ST ALBANS.

SUBURBAN NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The opening day of the third round was favoured with quite the best weather conditions experienced this season. The wickets were in good order and in one case a record score was registered. At Sydenham Park Beckenham gave Green’s an afternoon in the field and compiled the record total of 410. Green’s went in with twenty minutes to bat and lost three wickets for 8 runs. In the other three senior games the scoring was low. At Ensor’s Road Technical Old Boys put on only 85 against Council, whom they dismissed for 68, and at stumps Old Boys had increased their lead by 115 for the loss of six wickets. Shirley batted first at Sunnyside and compiled 151, and at stumps had dismissed six of their opponents for 114. Marists and W.M.C. met at Linwood Park, where the scoring was low. W.M.C. batted first and made 105, Marists responding with 69. In their second innings W.M.C. have lost three wickets for 35 runs! X X X HONOURS LIST. Batting. 11. Mills (Beckenham) 92* L.

The match between Marists and Working Men’s Club was notable for the low scoring by both sides. W.M.C. had first use of a wicket that helped the bowlers, and Peacock and Evans

were the only two batsmen to make over 20. The first wicket fell when Taylor was clean bowled by Jones before he had reached double figures, and the total was 22. West and Peacock made a stand and put on 25 for the second wicket. Peacock was caught behind the wickets off Leyden when his score stood at 24. West was cautious, but patted one back to Jones when he had made 14 with three fours and a couple of singles.

With three down for 50 the next three wickets fell for 11 runs. Evans and Watt stopped the rot and made runs quickly until 88 were on, when the seventh wicket fell. Butcher and Wentworth went cheaply and with one man short the innings closed for 105. J. Jones bore the brunt of the attack and met with distinct success in his thirteen overs, taking seven wickets for 37 runs. G. Waine occupied Norman’s place behind the wickets and took a couple of neat catches. Marists made a poor showing against the bowling of Watt, and Egan, and were dismissed for 69.

J. Roache and W. Griffen opened, but the latter was run out when the score was 5, and three runs later Graham was bowled by Watt. Roache and Waine took the score to 30 for the third wicket, but a rot set in and three more wickets fell for seven runs. M’Donnell and Gillespie made a brief stand and ran the total to 52 for the seventh wicket, but only one run was added before the next wicket fell. The last two wickets put on 16 and the innings closed for 69. E. Watt was the destructive agent and, assisted by keen and energetic fielding, got seven wickets for 28 runs, while Egan secured two for 29. W.M.C. began their second innings and when play ceased had lost three wickets for 37 runs. J. Taylor, who opened with West, placed 17 not out to his credit. x SHIRLEY v. SUNNYSIDE. Shirley made a poor start in their first innings against Sunnyside. Archer and Kington opened, but the latter was caught by Sincock off Langford when he had scored a single. Coltart followed, and he and' Archer made a stand, and 41 were on when Archer, who had, 10 to his credit, got his leg in front of one from Thompson. Coltart followed after a single had been added, and then Taylor and Cummings became partnered in a valuable stand that carried the total to a centum, when the latter was bowled by Thompson for 36, including six fours. Sweeney went for a hit, and with three fours and a two, put 14 against his name and 121 on the board before White got him with a good one. Taylor kept going steadily, but none of the others stayed long, and at 151 Taylor, who had batted attractively, was bowled by Thompson. He had put on 33 by good cricket and did not give a chance. Thompson struck his proper form, and bowled better than previously this season, and in 15 overs secured seven wickets for 44 runs. Sincock kept the runs down and had only 26 runs scored off him in 13 overs, during which he bowled four consecutive maidens. Sunnyside lost their first wicket for 11 runs and then Barnes and Langford made a stand and put on 50 for the second wicket. The partnership was the best of the innings, and Barnes’s valuable contribution of 47 included seven fours. Langford put on 24, including one six and three fours, before being caught by Sweeney off Husband, but with the exception of Hartley, who placed 17 to his credit, the other batsmen went cheaply, and at stumps six were down for 114. X X X GREEN’S v. BECKENHAM. The match between Green’s and Beckenham was a triumph for the latter, as they gave Green’s an afternoon in the field. Green’s attack was weak, and the Beckenham batsmen took full advantage of the poor bowling and weak fielding. J. Clarkson and A. Shand opened, but at 37 the former was caught by A. Pitt off his own bowling. Shand showed a variety of strokes in compiling 46, and he and Skelton saw 61 on before Skelton was caught by R. Pitt. E. Cummins joined Shand and the pair livened up the batting and saw 121 on before Shand, who had batted correctly, was bowled by R. Pitt. Lilburne went for a hit and soon lost his wicket, but Mills and Cummins rattled on the runs, and 196 were on when Cummins lost his wicket after compiling 60 by bright, crisp batting. Besley made 45 quickly, his total including one six and seven fours. After Stammers and Carlyle had been dismissed for 0 and 1 respectively, Kent joined Mills, who had given several chances, and the runs piled up quickly. Kent used his reach and hit up 92 in little over half an hour, and the partnership yielded 150 for the ninth wicket. Kent’s contribution of 92 included two sixes and thirteen fours.

Mills’s innings, although not free from chances, was a good one, and when the innings closed he had 92 not out to his credit, his score including fourteen fours. During the innings ten bowlers were tried, the most successful being C. Prebble, who secured two for 50, while A. Pitt got three for 7-3. Green’s began their first innings disastrously and at stumps had lost three wickets for 8 runs. There seems to be a lack of management somewhere in the Green's Club. It is unusual to see a senior team so lax in punctuality as was the case on Saturday. Matches are timed to start at 2.15, yet at 2.40 only half the team were present. It is difficult to understand why Peterson, who has batted well in the last two matches, and proved himself one of the best batsmen in the senior team, should be placed in the junior team last Saturday. x x ' TECHNICAL OLD BOYS v. COUNCIL. A bowler’s wicket made runs hard to secure at Ensor’s Road when Technical Old Boys batted first against Council. F. Horwell had a day out, and bagged five wickets for 40 runs. G. Teichert was clean bowled first ball, and French and Stokes went when the score was 28. J. Phelps and Blakeway made a brief stand, and added a dozen for the sixth wicket, and Booth hit out and secured four boundaries before being caught off Newton, Blakeway, who was playing his first game, got five boundaries and three singles, but none of the others caused much trouble, and the innings closed for 85. Horwell and Newton bowled throughout, except for one ball, with which Gordon secured a wicket. Horwell found the wicket to his liking, and got five wickets for 40 runs in ten overs, while Newton got four for 38. Technical had their revenge when Council took strike. In the small total of 67 runs, C. Quaid was top scorer, his 22 being the outcome of bright, crisp batting. Merrin, who was last man, placed 10 not out to his credit. D. Stokes and C. Teichert were the most successful bowlers, the former securing five wickets for 29 in eight overs, and Teichert four for 12 in seven overs. Due in a large measure to a fine innings by D. Stokes, Technical are in a good position, having put on 115 for six wickets in their second innings, and are now 133 in the lead, with four wickets in hand. Stokes batted well for 67 not out, twelve fours being included in his total.

CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION. MEETING OF MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. The Management Committee of the Canterbury Cricket Association met last evening. Present—Messrs R. B. Ward (chairman), C. E. Evans. H. Robertson, W. J. V. Hamilton, L. D. Page, C. S. Thompson, W r . L. King, A. Dey, W. Simpson, R. C. Burns, and E. E. Luttrell (hon secretary). After consideration of a letter from the West Coast Association it. was decided to notify minor associations that the travelling expenses for minor association matches could not be paid by the association until the matches were on a more revenue producing basis. The South Canterbury Cricket Association wrote expressing appreciation of the visit and advice given by Mr J._A. Newman, professional coach. Mr King was thanked for conveying Mr Newman to Timaru. It was decided favourably to consider a proposal that the Canterbury Plunket Shield team should play at Oamavu on their return from Dunedin. Applications from the Southland and South Canterbury Associations will also be considered when the Canterbury, team's itinerary is arranged. The Wellington Association notified that it would fall in with the Canterbury Association's suggestion that the W r ellington-Canterbury match should commence on December 31. Messrs Burns and Luttrell were appointed managers of the Town and Country match to be played at Lancaster Park on December 5. An admission charge of Is will be made. The Auckland Association notified that the Auckland representative team would arrive in Christchurch on December 23. Air D. V. Moore would be manager. Mr King, for the Coaching Committee, said that the application from the Cathedral Grammar School for coaching by Mr J. A. Newman could not be granted. Too great a call was being made on the coach, whose time was fully occupied. It was regretted that request could not be granted. Mr Newman would deliver a lecture on December 17 at the T.M.C.A. The committee’s action was endorsed. SCHOOLS CRICKET. Matters affecting school cricket were discussed when a deputation consisting of Messrs C. W. Allard, E. H. Cross and R. H. North, representing the Canterbury Public Schools Amateur Athletic Association, - waited on the association with suggestions regarding grounds, coaching, etc. After setting out the position, Mr Cross stated that there was a big' shortage of grounds, and many boys were being kept from playing cricket owing to the lack of wickets. It would be unfortunate If the number of boys receiving* coaching was cut down. After discussion a committee consisting of Messrs W. H. Winsor, .H. M. Chrystall, W. Simpson, R. H. North. E. H. Cross and C. W. Allard was appointed to wait on the Reserves Committee of the Christchurch City Council with a view to the provision of concrete wickets in grounds and parks in and around the city. It was decided to leave the question of coaching during the holidays in the hands of Messrs Cross and King.

BOYS’ ASSOCIATION. EXECUTIVE MEETING. A meeting of the executive of the Canterbury Boys' Cricket Association was held at the Technical College last evening, when the following were present—Mr C. S.

Wilder, C. W. R. Dart and G. M. M’Kenzie. The Competitions Committee reported that the competitions would close as follows:—Fifth grade, December 1; sixth grade, November 24; seventh A grade, December 8; seventh B grade, December 1. They also reported that the majority of the games postponed from October 6 had now been played. The only one still outstanding was the seventh B grade match, between Technical College D and Linwood B, and it was decided that this game should take place at Hospital Corner on Saturday, December 8. The honorary secretary reported that the sixth grade game between West Christchurch District High School and Technical College C had been recorded

as a win by default to the latter team. It was due to a misunderstanding that the West Christchurch team had failed to put in an appearance. It was agreed to record the match as a tie. The amended points in the sixth grade are therefore:—Technical College A, 43 points; St Andrew’s College, 411 points: Boys’ High School A, 32 points; Riccarton, 31 points; Technical College C. 25 points; Technical College B, 234 points; St Bede’s College, 21 points; "West Christchurch District High School, 14 points; L. in wood, 10 points; Boys’ High School B, nil. Technical College A were declared the winners of the competition. Mr C. T. Rix reported that Mr E. Boulton, of Christchurch, had offered to present a silver cup for annual competition between the junior (under fifteen) representatives of the Otago and Canterbury Boys’ Cricket Associations. The honorary secretary stated that it was his intention to present a similar cup for competition between the senior (under sixteen) teams of the two associations. The offers were received with thanks. The following arrangements were made for trial matches:—December 1: Sixth grade trials. Boys’ High School v. St Andrew’s-St Bede’s, Technical College v. Riccarton-West Christchurch; December 6 and 7: Seventh A grade trial; December S, Seventh B grade and fifth grade trials, and continuation of sixth grade trials; December 11 and 13, sixth grade v. seventh grade; December 15, senior and junior Possibles v. Probables matches.. The Otago Boys’ Cricket Association wrote challenging for the New Zealand Boys’ (under sixteen) Challenge Shield. It was decided to accept the challenge and to suggest that the games should be played ii> Christchurch on December 20 and 21. A challenge was also received from the Wellington Boys’ Cricket League. Messrs C. S. Johnston, A. H. Wilder and R. R. Gibson were appointed r.s a sub-committee to arrange the billeting of the Otago tearils, and an entertainment committee, consisting of Messrs O. T. Rix, R. R. Gibson arid C. S. Johnston was appointed to control the entertainment of the visitors. The honorary secretary Was instructed to suggest that the Boys’ Association should play North Canterbury on December 29 at Rangiora, and Malvern on January 5 at Kirwee. A number of letters were received from the West Coast in connection with the proposal to send a couple of teams of boys to the Coast during January. It was decided to suggest that the games should be played as follows:—• Greymoutli, January 17 and IS; Westport, January 21 : Reefton, January 22. Mr C. W. R. Dart forwarded an interim report regarding the arrangements for the transport of the teams from Reefton to Westport. It was decided that the age limits for next season should date from February 1, and that the association should send through a remit to the effect that the rules for the New Zealand Boys’ Challenge Shield should be suitably modified. The honorary secretary reported that a number of subscriptions were still outstanding. The matter was referred to the delegates of the clubs concerned with instructions that they should take steps to see that these subscriptions were paid forthwith.
