An exciting finish saw Riccarton beat Old Boys in the final ol the Canterbury Cricket Association’s championship at Lancaster Park on Saturday. The pitch was in splendid order, but the outfield was very bumpy, and made * it difficult for the field to take a ball cleanly. There was a large crowd and every move of the game was followed closely. Barracking was freely indulged in, mostly at the expense of the unfortunate Riccarton field, who were continually puzzled by the roughness of the outfield.

(Captain of Riccarton team, which won the Canterbury Cricket Association’s competition.) I. B. Cromb, who made 56, was in good form, particularly at the beginning of his innings, when he was scor-' ing with speed and ease. Great things were expected of the partnership of Page and Cromb, but Page was in one of his slow moods, and could not get the bowling away with his usual crispness. He seemed to have particular difficulty with the bowling of C. T. Rix. He played a very careful innings, and his score of 58 was the result of patient batting. The partnership, of which so much was expected, yielded only 44 runs. Right through the afternoon scoring was painfully slow, and at 5.20 Old Boys had on only 176 runs, but this total had cost them seven wickets. R. C. Burns with C. M. Harris added 34 for the seventh wicket, but the eighth fell with the addition of only

one run to the total. The position began to look hopeless at this stage. The last wicket stand of C. M. Harris and If. R. Escott was a determined attempt to put on the necessary runs in a limited time and a failing light. There was little hope that this could be done, but the two batsmen attempted it. Fighting for every run, Harris and Escott took the total to 232, when Harris was run out in attempting a short one. The innings closed at 5.50 and had lasted for three hours and 35 minutes.

C. M. Harris was third scorer with 43, which he made in 54 minutes. His innings was a relief after the patient and cautious exhibitions of most of the rest of his team. He was in good form, at the end of his innings was hitting out with a will. R. C. Burns made his eleven in good time. He is capable of turning on a good score when it is demanded of him, and on Saturday he started out to get a big number in as short a time as possible. He was going well, and had reached' double figures in quick time when he was caught by Rix off Roberts.

R. Hastie, W. E. Merritt, and J. T. Burrows each collected a duck, Burrows and Hastie being run out. G. B. Hobbs batted well in his usual unhurried style. His 32 was the result of a patierit innings lasting 83 minutes.

A. W. Roberts was the most successful bowler, and was in consistently good form for the whole afternoon. At one stage ,he had sent down sixteen

DEFEAT OLD BOYS TEAM IN FINAL BY FOURTEEN RUNS . Play Was Dull —Losers Not Enterprising Enough To Punish Moderate Bowling. Enthusiasts who went to Lancaster Park on Saturday afternoon for the final between Riccarton and Old Boys witnessed a very dull game, from which Riccarton emerged as the winners of the Canterbury Cricket Association s senior grade competition. Old Boys, with one run to their credit after their five minutes’ spell at the wicket on the previous Saturday, started out to overtake the not very formidable total of 246. Within ten minutes of time, they were dismissed for 232, giving Riccarton a win on the first innings by 14 runs. Five only of the Old Boys' side reached double figures, three more ending the season with a duck. The batting for the most part lacked enterprise, the tail-enders alone showing any disposition to hit. I. B. Cromb 56, and M. L. Page 58, played sound cricket, but neither displayed any desire to savage the bowling. C. M. Harris played a clashing innings for 43, and G. B.,Hobbs batted cautiously for his- 32.

overs and had collected two wickets for 15 runs. His average* at the end of the day was two for 27, but he sent down 21 overs which included 7 maidens. Throughout, he kept the batsmen very quiet. F. Powell, who got four wickets, was also bowling very well. He had a lot of the ball, sending down 25 overs for the day. lie got his four wickets for 73. Although not so lucky as far as getting wickets went, C. T. Rix bowled exceptionally well. Of his 29.3 overs 9 were maidens, his average being one for 70. C. S. Gibbs was not put on till well on in the afternoon, and bowled only 7 overs. His spell with the ball added only 12 to the Old Boys total. C. E. Evans also bowled, delivering 10 overs for 35 runs. The bowling figures give an accurate idea of the slowness of the game, which often roused the spectators to sarcastic outbursts. The fielding of Riccarton, handicapped as it was by the bumpy outfield, was not impressive, particularly in the earlier part of the afternoon. Many rims were let toy, and in some cases overthrowing was bad. However, towards the end, the fielding smartened up a lot, and. not much was missed. J. Jacobs, who replaced P. Allen behind the stumps, after the game had been going for an hour, made a very good substitute. LESTER FINISHES THE SEASON WITH CENTURY. As if to provide a convincing answer to their critics, the Old Collegians batsmen turned on one of the most exhilarating examples of fast scoring seen this season, chiefly througK the medium of S. G. Lester, one of Canterbury’s most promising younger players. After EastChristchurch had spent several hours in putting on a dull 248 for nine wickets, declared, Old Collegians, with a little over two hours to go, determined on a fighting finish. Lester and Dun-

ster used the long hafidle on the East Christchurch bowlers, and after R. O. Talbot and Burrough had done their share the score was 250 for four wickets, giving Old Collegions a well deserved win on the first innings. The wicket was bad, as usual, at Elmwood Park, but the application of the old dictum that “ attack is the best form of defence ” played such havoc with the bowling that it soon became impotent. Dunster put on 59 in quick time, his total including seven fours and a six, the latter causing a stir among the croquet players. Lester showed a liking for sixes, getting four of them, besides fifteen fours. He gave a couple of chances, but for the most part his defensive strokes were all that could be desired. On attack he scored in every direction, though he showed a preference for the leg side. Of the East bowling, the less said the better. Allsopp, a slow bowler, suffered greatly, sending down ten overs for 80 runs without deriving the satisfaction of obtaining any victims. Davis bagged two wickets for 49 runs, while Weston and Kennedy each secured one. Kennedy completed a careful knock by retiring unbeaten for 59 when East declared. Mills put on 56 before going out, and extras provided the second top scorer with 56, there being twelve boundary byes in the tally. The fielding for the most part was fair, though East went oif badly under the hammering of the bowling by Lester and Talbot. LINWOOD v.* SYDENHAM. Bright batting was the result of Linwood’s first innings’ attempt against Sydenham on Saturday, at Sydenham Park, when they won by 61 runs. Even then Linwood were batting two men short. Honours were fairly well divided, F. Smith doing the best. He hit out merrily for his score of 55 not out, and punished the weak bowling of Hahn and Walburton with a vengeance. Twelve boundaries were included in his total. C. Orchard was going great guns and scoring at a rapid rate when an easy ball brought about his downfall. Boundary hits were his strongest stroke. “Charlie” set out to score 138 so as to win a “little bet,” but he will have to pay up this time

Reg Read, when in the mood, can rattle up runs in double-quick time, and his innings proved no exception to the rule. Starting off carefully, he soon got into his stride, and hit the loose balls with much strength. From one over of Spong’s he scored 22 runs, including two beautiful sixers. A. Davis batted well for his 27 runs, playing cautiously all the time. Linwood were batting for 90 minutes, and put on 181 runs, which is a good example of fast and interesting batting, pleasing the spectators. WEST CHRISTCHURCH WIN FROM ST ALBANS. West Christchurch defeated St Albans by 57 runs on the first innings on the No. 2 ground at Hagley Park. On the first day West made 306, to which St Albans replied on Saturday with 249 (one player short). Play was painfully slow in the early part of St Albans’s innings, as can be judged by the fact that only 30 runs were put on in an hour. The first wicket fell before the score was opened, and, with two wickets down for 14, the batsmen who followed were very cautious for a time. C. G. Crawford was the first to brighten up play. He played a sound innings for 53, which included five fours and one six. The brightest display of the afternoon was given by M. F. Pengelly, who knocked up 97 in a remarkably short time. He found the slow bowling to his liking, and gave a very attractive exhibition of big hitting. Pengelly had hopes of finishing the season with a century to his credit, but in driving Jarrett to the boundary for the required number of runs he was well caught in deep field by Fulton, who took his third catch. F. O’Brien (31), A. W. Thomas (23) and G. Cullen (20) were the only other batsmen to make a fair showing. The West Christchurch bowling lacked sting, and the slow bowlers were severely punished. N. O. Alexander trundled for twenty-two overs, and captured four wickets for 70 runs. F. A. Jarrett’s average was two for 38. Not one of the batsmen was bowled, all nine being caught out.

TRIP TO ENGLAND, (Special to the “ Star.”) AUCKLAND, March 30. One of the Auckland cricket selectors and a member of the Auckland Cricket Association. Mr E. C. Beale, contemplates leaving next month for England, where lie hopes to see the Australian cricketers jn action this year. At the moment, Mr Beale’s plans as to the duration of his visit to England are uncertain, but it is possible that he may remain there until towards the end of next year, in which event he will be a spectator at some of the more important matches of the New Zealand cricket team in England. He was one of the foremost workers for securing the services of A. E. Relf as a coach, for Auckland in 1907, and later was a consistent.

advocate of the view that the playing: of good professional cricketers in Plunket Shield matches was justified on the ground that, by precept and example, it both raised the standard of local cricket and attracted public interest to the game. Personally Mr Beale has undertaken, off his own bat, the organisation and conduct of seven annual tours of Auckland cricket colts, covering visits to all parts of New Zealand, to the advantage of the players and of the game. As a preliminary to these educative tours, he has inaugurated. and kept going each season a series of mid-week matches in which «the secondary school teams have been matched against adult Players of good calibre.
