■lO. Requiring-155 to win, Wonganup A opened their second innings. As the batsmen were’ plainly playing for keeps, runs came slowly. The ninth man was dismissed with the score at 115. Wanganui required 39 to win, with only one wicket to fall, and the hearts of the St. Raul’s supporters grow Jubilant. However, the last pair— I Thompson and Currie—meant business, the former hitting, while the latter l;eld his wicket up. Gradually the deficit lessened, till the scoring board showed: that only 20 runs were i wanted Then Thompson hit a ball hard to Beckett on the boundary. It was a most difficult chance, and the fieldsman, after Juggling with the-ball, fell, and finally dropped )t. The suspense did not last much longer, Thompson going for the bowling. A few more boundaries, and the winning hit came with a leg stroke for four. Wanganui had won, but only after the most desperate finish of the season. Both sides had good reason to thank their last men, the CurrieThompson partnership realising 42, while London’ and Neilson put oh 38 for SI. Paul’s. i) Scores: —, ST. PAUL’S.
