WANGANUI ASSOCIATION BEN’SEL SHIELD GAMES Another series of baseball games for the Bensel Shield was held on Saturday, in ideal conditions. The standard of play was high and all the teams seemed to be playing determinedly. This will probably be the last series of games played this season. Next Saturday there will be the final selection from the possible and probable teams for the Wanganui representative team to play for the New Zealand championship, at Wellington, on March 25. Results were as follow: Harrier A 17, v. Wanganui East 10 Innings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Harrier A 5 0 3 0 1 8 - Wanganui East 1 0 0 0 4 2 3 Home Runs.—Harrier A, C. A. Stinson 2, B. Sherlock 2. Harrier A played six innings only.
