WAIPA COMPETITIONS.

LAST SATURDAY'S GAMES. The Waipa Cricket Association's championship competition was continued a further stage last Saturday, when Te Awamutu' played Puahue, High School played Rukuhia, Kaipaki A played Te Kawa, and Otorohanga played Kaipaki B. . The weather conditions were favourable, and some interesting play eventuated, it being noticeable that the bowlers had the best of the argument in some of the matches. PUAHUE V TE AWAMUTU. In this match, played at headquarters, Puahue batted first and were all disposed of for 80 runs, Barnett being particularly effective with the ball. The top scorer was W. M. Wl £ ter with 20 runs, and next were J. Ball and Taylor, each with 12. T , a yl° r > a newcomer, hit three fours and then Barnett caught and bowled him. Te Awamutu, on paper, seemed to have a good prospect of securing a win, but the country players played keenly, and had the locals "thinking hard until Philp and Fraser got together Eraser survived until Puahue's total was reached, and then Winter got him caught out. The other five wickets only yielded. 18 runs, Taylor being particularly effective with the ball. Scores: — PUAHUE. Newman, stpd.
