Cricket 1914

19 6 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. M a y 30, 1914. The Score Book. C r ic k e t in A u s t r a lia . NORTH OF TASMANIA v. SOUTH OF TASMANIA. At Launceston, during the Easter holidays. The Hobart match this season fell through, owing to a football trouble involving the disqualification of one of the Northern players ; but the return was duly brought off. Neither side was quite at full strength, Hawson, the best bat in the island, being a conspicuous absentee ; and although the South captain twice declared the result was a draw. Plenty of runs were made ; but there was no performance of outstanding merit.

C r ic k e t in New Z e a la n d . WELLINGTON v. MR. D. REESE’S CANTERBURY XI. At Basin Reserve, Wellington, April 10, n , and 13. The visitors were not an official Canterbury side ; but ten of them— Barrett the only exception— have represented the province within the last few years, though Bain, Williams, and Crawshaw did not play this season. Wellington had pretty much their strongest side, with W. S. Brice in command. He lost the toss, but Reese put Wellington in, and on a dead, easy wicket they showed up very well. Midlane was the star performer; his 72 were made in 2 hrs. without a chance. The score at call of time was 225 for 7. In the latter stages Bennett had bowled with great steadiness, sending down six successive maidens. On the Saturday the innings closed for 238. The best partnerships were the 58 of Midlane and Hiddleston for the second wicket, the 46 of Burton and Grimmett for the seventh, and the 36 of Burton and Robinson for the eighth. The wicket did not play so easily on the second day, and the Canterbury side were dismissed for 97, Southall, the left-hander, formerly a Taranaki schoolmaster, bowling in deadly form. Midlane and Hiddleston again made a good stand for Wellington’s second wicket, adding 49 this time ; but at the close of Saturday’s play the home side had lost 7 for 109. Robinson slammed out mightily on resumption of play on Easter Monday, and placed 33 to his credit in 15 minutes. Patrick has never done so well as a bowler in important cricket before. Reese’s side needed just 300 for victory. They had four men out for 73 ; but then the captain and Patrick, both batting well, though neither faultlessly,.added 95. Once they were parted, the end soon came, Wellington winning by 117 runs. M r . I). R e e s e ’ s C a n t e r b u r y XI. First Innings. C. E. Beal, st Howe, b Southall . . 14 E. E.
