SUBURBAN CRICKET.

Win on First Innings in Every Case. FOURTH ROUND ENDS. All three Suburban senior games ended in wins on the first innings. Shirley, who had a lead over Working Men’s Club in the first innings, collapsed in their second attempt, and the finish was exciting, as W.M.O. had only 7 runs to make in the last over and three wickets in hand, but falle-l, and Shirley secured a win on the first innings. Sunnyside obtained a decisive lead on the first innings and declared with eight wickets down, hut Beckenham played out time and Sunnyside secured only five points. M. Lohrey, for Railway, < egistered the first century of the season l>y hitting up 106 in good style against Mairehau, who had a lead of 73 on the first innings, gaining a five-point win. The following table shows 'he positions of the senior teams: —
