WEDNESDAY COMPETITIONS. TWO COMFORTABLE WINS. Ideal weather conditions favoured the Wednesday cricket competitions at the Sportsground yesterday afternoon. Optimists had a comfortable four-point win over Relief Workers, compiling 194 for seven wickets, when a declaration was made. Childs was top scorer for Optimists and just failed to reach his half century, but his innings was not without blemish. He ha'd two liyes early when easy catches were dropped in' succession at mid-on. Evans, who contributed a handy 39 to his side’s total, batted with confidence until he was unfortunate enough to be run out. Relief Workers ran up a small total of 72 in their first strike, Rice’s bowling being very effective. They fared but little better. when they went to the wickets again, to be dismissed for 85. ■ Their figures for both innings .were still well short of their opponents’ total for a' single uncompleted innings.
