HAMILTON CRICKET

GAMES ON SATURDAY. COUNTRY WEEK MATCHES. VISITING TEAMS FAIL. SENIOR B COMPETITION. Ideal conditions prevailed for the Town v. Country matches at Seddon Park on Saturday, when two games were played on the grass wickets. The Senior A competition was postponed to allow the fixtures to be played. The Eastern Waikato-Hamilton game was commenced in the morning, while the other game was commenced early in the afternoon. In each case Hamilton teams won on the first innings. The Senior B and junior competitions were continued on Saturday. Details of all games appear below. DISASTROUS START. EASTERN WAIKATO' LOSE. N. WINGER’S SPLENDID “.BAG.” The Eastern Waikato team won the toss in their match against a Hamilton team on No. 2 wicket, and they decided to bat, under perfect conditions. Miles and Beaver opened to Going, and Everest in the second over dismissed Beaver, who played the ball into his wicket. One run had been scored. Mason and Miles batted cautiously, but only 17 runs were .up when Winger in his first over caught and howled Miles. The remainder of the innings was a procession, eight wickets being down for 27 runs. Hughes and Carroll pulled the total up a bit, but the innings closed for the poor total of 42 runs. . The country batsmen could not handle any of the bowlers, though Winger was easily the most dangerous. In eight overs he took six wickets for an average of 2.3—a remarkable performance. Clark also troubled the batsmen greatly. Clark and Winger opened for Hamilton and scored three-quarters of Eastern Waikato’s runs before Winger was dismissed leg-before in Roberts’ first over. The same bowler had Clark caught in his next over, but Lissette and Aitken took the score past the 60 mark before Lissette was bowled. Siddle made quite a good impression, though he batted very slowly. Clough soon opened out, and in hitting a brace, a boundary and a six off successive balls in Roberts’ enghth over placed the century on the board. He was caught in going for another hit next ball. .The howlers then got the upper hand, and the remainder of the team was dismissed for under 40 runs.

Roberts in.his last three ovens took two wickets for six runs, Mason took two wickets for one run off four overs, and Anear one for five off three overs.

With a deficit of 99 runs Eastern Waikato again started disastrously, losing .Miles before the scoring had been opened. Lissette gained further success at 20 when he had Renton caught behind the wickets. Beaver was playing steadily, however, and with Roberts also settling down early some good batting was witnessed, the pair adding 40 runs. Wilson and ißeaver added 36 runs before the latter was eventually run out. His score was not without chances, but nevertheless it was a good knock, and it placed his team in a much better position. (Hamilton were not trying to force a win, and Aitken gave all the bowlers in the team two or three overs. Details —-

ANOTHER FAILURE. WAIPA DISMISSED EARLY. BADELEY’S HARD HITTING. In the match on No. 1 ground flic Waipn team also failed to compile a respectable score, while Hamilton had no trouble in gaining a victory by a wide margin on Ihc Jlrst hillings. Tim country team hatted first, but were up against it when Comer look the wickets of Dalton and Hall when eight runs were on the hoard. Further wickets fell, and live were, down for 2 i. The tail end batsmen did better, however, Shepherd and Bur-

nett, and later Rusden and Snowden, scoring well to bring the total to (9. The Hamilton bowlers again had the best of things, although they were only given a few overs each. Comer, who took two wickets for two runs, off his first five overs, and Bennett, who took three for three off his first three overs, gained the best averages. The Hamilton team also commenced poorly. Hampton was dismissed second ball, while Walsh, the same bowler, also dismissed the other opening batsman, Bennett, in his next oyer. Jordan helped Badeley stem the tide, but the styles were totally different. Jordan played the bowling with a straight, defending bat, while Badeley attacked every ball. Badeley’s first 40 runs Inoluded three sixes, his second .scoring stroke being a lofty six. Jordan was bowled at 46 and Lee at 76, Clough going two runs later. Badeley pasted the bowling to all parts of the field, and saw Senior run out and McKenzie caught after a better display. Reaching the century in very quick time, Badeley retired. Although he gave chances, his innings was very attractive, including five sixes and nine fours. T. Skeet hit up the runs in great style, collecting three sixes, while Comer, who was batting quite well, was also scoring quickly. This pair were undefeated at stumps, when the score board read 210 for nine wickets. The bowlers had an unenviable time with Badeley cracking everything hard and often. They stuck to their job, however, and never gave up hope. Both the country matches were played in the true spirit of cricket, and were very enjoyable to players and spectators.

SENIOR B GAMES. RAILWAY AHEAD. ‘LEAD OVER HAMILTON EAST. Playing steady, Is not brilliant, cricket, Railway have secured a useful first-innings lead of 31 runs in their match with Hamilton East, which was commenced at Seddon Park. East were first to bat, Crabb, Mcßae and Hook being the only ones to stand up to the bowling of Snowling and Ilemi, who took all of East’s ten wickets, which yielded only the modest total of 84 runs. After a shaky opening Railway struck better form in the ReeseDavis partnership, which resulted in the addition of almost half a century and assisted materially in bringing the total up to 115 before the last wicket fell. Hubbard, who took four wiokets for 35 runs, was the best of the bowlers. At stumps East had lost no wickets for 14 runs. Details —:

BATSMEN FAIL. HAMILTON v. FRANKTON. Hamilton batsman had an off day on Saturday when, playing against Frankton United at Steele Park, they had two failures, which 'put Frankton in a handy position for the second day s Hamilton, who were first at the crease, opened unauspiciously, Alexander, Young and Beeehcy being the only batsmen lo gain any control over the bowlers. The innings closed with only 70 runs up, Frankton replying briskly with a total of 111. Kemp was responsible for a usetul strike of 30 before being howled by Forster, while Mundy, I’arkcs ami Molloy also lent support with double-figure scores. Hamilton again failed to strike form in [heir second venture, and at slumps nine wickets were down for 68 runs. Details-—.

SECCOMBE’S CENTURY. OLD BOYS’ GOOD STAND. • I An aggressive century by C. Seccombe was the feature of the match between Old Boys and East Old Boys, which was" commenced at Seddon Park. After Old Boys had made a steady opening, Seccombe, who went in at the second wicket down, assumed charge of the bowling, giving few chances and scoring briskly with some beautiful drives. In compiling his 128 he knocked 20 fours and a six. The following batsmen were content to play quietly, and the Innings closed with 200 on the board. East Old Boys, taking their stand at the crease, batted steadily, and had gained 73 runs for the loss of six wickets. Details —r OLD BOYS—-First Innings. T.

HIGH SCHOOL v. MARIST. FIRST INNINGS’ TALLIES. A small lead on the first Innings’ tallies was recorded by High School over the initial day’s play of their match with Martst on the High School ground. School were first to bat, a clever and enterprising knock of 35 by Harding being instrumental in bringing the total to 99 runs. Dowling and L. Murray were found to be the most successful with the ball, and they bowled unrelieved for Marist during the innings, which lasted only 24 overs. After Dowling and Crosby had given the team a good start the remaining Marist batsmen, with the exception of Worth, failed to cope with the bowling of Pomeroy, who took seven wickets for 29 runs and the innings closed for 67. High School commenced their second baiting venture disastrously, and at stumps three wickets were down l’oi five runs. Details —
