Winger, who had played a fine bat for 47, added eight more runs before falling to a straight one from Ewan. N. Innes was also in good form again and cracked up a lusty 37.

He took two wickets in his first over, his next over was a maiden, and the last wicket fell with his first ball •of the next over.

Playing two men short, Frankton United started their second Innings disastrously, the first four batsmen falling very cheaply.

SENIOR B MATCHES. HIGH SCHOOL IN FRONT. MACDONALD’S DEADLY' BOWLING.

High School have a first-innings margin of 43 runs over Hamilton East in their match which was commenced on the High School ground on Saturday, and Indications point to a close finish, with the prospects slightly favouring the leaders. A feature of the first day's play was the fine bowling of MacDonald, who took seven East wickets for 34 runs in their 'Opening strike. Batting first, East were dismissed for 124 runs, Jackson 40, McCrae 39 and Johnstone 19 not out being the only players to reach double figures.' High School replied with 167, of which total Nolan contributed a useful 55, and Trask and Innes 26 and 22 respectively. Johnstone and Owsley were most successful of the bowlers. Time was growing short when East went in again, but wickets fell quickly to MacDonald and Keat, and at stumps there were four down with 13 runs on the board. East will need to put their best efforts forward next Saturday to avoid defeat.. Details—• HAMILTON EAST —First Innings.

MARIST IN STRONG POSITION. BIG LEAD ON CAMBRIDGE. BELL AND ST. GEORGE SCORE HIGH. If the present indications are any criterion Marist should have little difllculty In securing a win over Cambridge when their match is continued at Seddon Park next Saturday. In their first innings on Saturday the Cambridge batsmen failed to survive the howling of L. St. George, Bamford and Main, and had only 85 runs on the board when their last wicket fell. N. McKinnon was the only batsman to make a stand, and compiled 39 before he was clean howled by St. George, who was a constant thorn in tlie sides of the visiting batsmen. Prolific scoring by L. St. George and Bell was a feature of Marists’ first, innings. Both these batsmen made the most of the bowling, St. George knocking up 72 runs before be was well caught by Lynds off Litchwark. Ilis score included ten fours. Even better was the performance of K. Bell, who was undefeated with 87 up at stumps. He g.-ivc a line exhibition, hitting Jive sixes and ten fours. At the close of Hie day’s play Marist had lost five wickets for 25G runs. Details—

OLD BOYS’ BATSMEN FAIL. MATCH WITH RAILWAY. GOOD BOWLING PERFORMANCES. The bowlers had a successful day In the match between Old Boys and Railway on the Weka Street ground, and as a result the scores on both sides were low, the Old Boys’ batsmen failing badly in their first innings, in which the Railway bowlers, llemi and O’Halloran, scored a meritorious victory. Old Boys were first, to the crease, but were much troubled by the bowling previously mentioned, and wickets went cheaply, Nodder 10 being the only batsman to reach double figures. The innings closed with 48 runs up. Railway fared somewhat better, compiling 127 before (heir last wicket went. O’ilalloran proved himself a batsman as well as a bowler by making 32 runs, the Lop score. Nodder, West and Young shared the bowling honours.
