CRICKET.

MARTON C.C. v. WANGANUI C.C

A WIN FOR THE HOME TEAM

I i Th« annual club match between the Wanganui and Marton clubs eventuated yesterday oh Cook's Gardens. Th<t day was a 'beautiful one, but it -was rather too warm for cricket. Nevertheless, a most enjoyable game was the result, a game which was enjoyed iby both players and the few spectators. The wicket, number two, was the best provided oh Cook's this season. The visitors were entertainedat a capital luncheon at the Burlington, and at afternoon tea on the ground, by the Wanganui players A finely contested game, in which some good cricket was shown, was won by Wanganui by forty-seven runs. The home skipper won the toss, opf-n- ---| ing with H. JB. Cave and Furrie, v,ho I faced the bowling of E. W. Broad ard Waters. With 22 up a separation was brought about by Waters, and without any addition to the score Broad accepted a catch off hi* own bowling. Holland livened things Tip somewhat, and very soon had 28 to W , credit, comprising seven fours '-ml n j single. Howard and Hollis, par;i; :larly the latter, commenced to pile on the runs. - Hollis was, as usual, exceedingly vigorous, and received the bowuu;* in a manner that had the trundlers thinking. The partnership contributed "0. Howard's score reached 32 before ha iv«s dismissed. Hoftis was responsible for a capital 50, including a. brace /er the fences. Luxford batted patiently, for 22, while Atkins's 34 contained some \ nice shots, including a six. With tho [ score at' 224 the last wicket" fell. Marton set resolutely to their task of overhauling their opponents r total— a, iy no means impossible task on such a wicket. Miles and ArkwTight took *'& strike, a.nd played steadily. The score mounted to 57 before a separation was effected, Miles being the first to go, ' after playing nicely for 25. tie was soon followed by his partner, whose .linings of 33 wag .an effective one. Marshall and Halligan did not occapy t/e ; crease for v any length of time. "With j Broad and Signal together *-;any luus ; were added, but. with the exjs t >ti>n of Lloyd, the remaining batsmon* easily succumbed. Marton's total re«ched 177, forty-four behind Wanga.iui's score. Scores:— WANGANUI C.C. First Innings. H. B. Cave, c and b Broad"... ... 9 Furrie, b Waters ... 6 Roeve, b Broad 1 C.
