THE SLOW BOWLERS

SUCCESS AGAINST SURREY. DOMINION’S GOOD WIN. A FINE PERFORMANCE. (From the Special Correspondent of the United Press Association with the team.) ' J (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received Julv 31, 10.5 a.m. LONDON, July 30. Tho New Zealand cricketers won the match with Surrey by 143 runs. Bereft of bowlers through the illness of Cowie (leg trouble) and Dunning, New Zealand delayed the declaration until lunch. Scoring briskly, Weir gave a fine display of clean hitting, ids score including two huge sixes on to the pavilion roof and six fours. . , . Wallace was enterprising and hit eight fours. He was disinissed when a very fin© throw-in hit his stumps. Gover was not particularly troublesome in either innings, but the pitch was enough to break the heart ol any fast bowler. He still may be recalled for the third Test, but a big body of opinion favours Fagnes. Page, appearing in tho unusual role of opening the bowling, took a wicket with the first ball. After this 'Surrey scored rapidly. Instructions to get runs or get out were issued by Holmes when the score was 86. Gregory scored a brilliant century at the rate of a run a minute. He hit 13 fours. Surrey collapsed after tea before the slow bowling of Moloney, Gallichan, and Vivian. New Zealand’s suecess was doubly creditable in view of the perfection of the pitch and the depletion of the attack. The bowlers were supported by excellent catching. With Cowie, Dunning and Roberts all on the casualty list, the New Zealanders have a battle-scarred legion for tho second game against Glamorgan. Details: — ' . NEW ZEALAND.
