West V. Suburbs An Exciting Finish •' >■ —T J "W i Thb dab championship matcheß, under.?* i the Auspioee of the Waibi,Cricket Associa* , ■ tiou, were continued last Saturday: si - iWortb's paddock, the West and Suburbß representatives meeting for the fimt .timfl . this' season. ; Tile reanlt was perhaps unique in the history of local cricket, v Going in first, the Suburbs eleven knocked up the extremely poor score of 29 iuds. None/of the batsmen oouH make any : , stand against the bowling of Lung, who was, ; in splendid form, taking eight wioliets for 14 runs, his average boing 1,75. WitL only 29 runs to beat, the Wos ■ eleven had ~ ; to all appeai ince a mtot easy task before, , ibemi but the result proved the great uncertainly of cricket and the value of good, bowling and fielding, combined iwith a de> ; , termination to fight to the finish for sup. remiicy. The West elevon, notwithstanding tho fact I hat they bad only: to ob- . tain loss than : three rues of an average, were all dismissed for. the \ remarkably small score of 16. Tlie fielding exhibition by their opiponents. was of a first-olalß order, but the bowling ' proved something bordering upon tho phonouißual. Sutton's average pf 0.60 is perhaps a record in snch class of cricketi He look s.wickets at a coat ofonly 3 rues, bowling l'i overß, 9'of.wtiicb* were maid-, oris I—a splendid pei formance indeed. Cornthwaite took 4 for 13, bowling 11 overs, 5. of which were maidens: also a first-olasa performance. These two truudlera, backed up by good fielding, J ptncticnlly enatohed ibo match out of the =, J fire. The contest proved most exciting > and interesting throughout from a speota- ; ■ torial a» well as a cricketing point of yiew. The Rev,' Father Brodie and Mr.- Wallnutt acted as ntnpirps. The'? Suburbs Club ' have now two wins to their credit arid the West Club' one, City haying two losses, Appended ate the full scores :. ■ Sdbobbs. . ; ' "
