YOUNG CRICKETERS AT PLAY
AUCKLAND V. WELLINGTON. PROMISING MATERIAL. [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Dec. 27. That both Auckland and Wellington have plenty of promising cricket material was evident from the bright form shown in Basn Reserve to-day, when the annual match for the Brabin Cup was commenced between junior teams representing the two provinces. The Cup contest is confined to players under 21 years and Auckland has held the trophy for the past two years. Auckland had first use of an easy wicket and ran up a respectable total of 259, the feature of which was a sound score of 111 not out by W. Sneddon. He is son of N. C. Snedden, who, for many years, played for Auckland and New Zealand with conspicuous success. His son promises to perpetuate an honoured cricketing name. The Wellington players distinguished themselves by brilliant ground fielding and accurate returns. The bowling was steady without being deadly.. The Wellington innings began at 3.20 p.m. and when stumps were drawn Wellington had a splendid start, with 209 for three wicket®.
