SATURDAY’S MATCHES

The beautiful weather which prevailed on Saturday afternoon was welcomed by local players after the long run of wet Saturdays which had been the order for five weeks previously. United and Wanderers met in the senior competition at Victoria Domain, while Y.M.C.A. and Tarulieru opposed each other on the latter’s ground. i ; . UNITED v. WANDERERS. bo As usual, the meeting of these old Hi rivals caused a good deal of interest. Oi ''['he game was played on the turf wicA’ ket, which was used for the first time this season without the matting. Manning won the toss for United, and decided to hat. Hallamore and W. Gibson <r a ve United a good lead by putting on 40 for the first wicket. The pitch did not play well at the start, shooters being fairly frequent, while many of Young’s fast deliveries reared over the heads of the batsmen and wicketkeeper. The opening pair were dismissed together and thereafter Manning was the only batsman to set up any defence against the 'Wanderers’ bowling. The innings realised only 97, the side being without Olsen’s services. The latter was engaged at the swimming sports, and dicf not get up in time to nave a knock. At call of time Wanderers had scored 124 for seven wickets. McMahon failed for once with the hat. getting Ibid to Hallamore for 5. A. Young, however, more than, made amends for the failure of Hi is captain by playing a first-class innings for 56, not out. His defence' was of the soundest, while his off-driv-ing was exceptionally powerful and welltimed. Glennie hit out well, compiling 40, hut his inninge could scarcely he termed a good one. Many of his runs came from snicks past the wicket, while he made many other strokes which were not nominated. Manning, the United captain, received a painful knock on the knee in attempting to turn a fast one from Young to leg. This lamed him fc-r the afternoon; lie was unable to take a turn at the howling crease, and was of little or no assistance in the field. The following are the scores : UNITED —First Innings.
