As the Sacred Heart College boys are busily engaged with their annual examinations- only one cricket match was played last week, which by the way is the final match of 1921. Again the keenness of the boys avrs rewarded by a very creditable win over Ponsonby in the second grade Auckland Association games. Ponsonby in their first innings made 146 and in their second smack lost eight , wickets for 72. Bowling for S.H.C. in the second innings

(the first innings was recorded last week), Kalaugher took ■ three wickets for 24, O’Regan one for eight, O’Connor one for 10, and Griffin wife for 14. The, college boys batted well, thus scoring 230 for the loss of six wickets. Kalaugher and R. O’Connor made 46 each, McMahon 45, Lander 41 and Griffin 17 not out. Half a dozen delays caused by rain robbed . the college team of their good chance of a three-point victory. * At the Labor Day sports in-open competition S.H.C. athletes did well. W. Kalaugher won the high jump handicap off scratch by clearing sft 2in; E. Reid threw the cricket ball against a heavy wind 98 yards 7 inches, thus winning first place; E.
