November 9th v. MICHAELHOUSE at Kearsne/ (Draw) Kearsney batted on a hard and true wicket, and after losing the first wicket for no score, settled In to make a score. Polklnghorne bore a charmed life, and he and Robblns added 92runsfor the second wicket. Lowe,supported by Edwards, carried on the scoring, which enabled Hulett to declare at 188 for 8 wickets. All the batsmen attacked the bowling, and Hulett and Hagemann In particular lost their wickets through forcing the pace. Michaelhouse never settled down, and only dour defence prevented Kearsney from forcing a win. Lowe again bowled well, forcing the batsmen to play at nearly every ball delivered. KEARSNEY: 188 for 8 declared (Polklnghorne 61, Robblns 51, Lowe 43 not out). MICHAELHOUSE: 92for 6 wickets(Lowe 4for 28). November 16th v. NORTHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL at Kearsney (Draw) Kearsney should really have won this match comfortably, but as Itturned out, were lucky not to lose It. Northlands batted on a good wicket, but steady bowling by Hagemann, Lowe and Meyer compelled them to play with caution. Webster and Hatch, the only two Northlands players who tried to attack the bowling, batted well, but otherwise the bowlers dictated the terms. Kearsney's batting was very poor, and again Hulett and Lowe saved the side from disgrace. Two wickets fell for no score, and the third for eight runs. Hulett and Lowe took the score to 40, and thereafter only Edwards batted with any confidence. The last Kearsney wicket fell to a superb catch, with the scores level. Northlands fared better In their second Innings, and Thomas and Hicks In particular batted well. Parsons and Hatch, batting at numbers 9 and 10, helped to take the score to 1 10 for 9 wickets when Northlands declared. Only 20 minutes' batting time was left, and Kearsney at the close, had scored 25 for no wicket. NORTHLANDS: 1st Innings, 68(Hagemann 4 for 27, Lowe 3 for 9). KEARSNEY: 1st Innings, 68(Hulett 20, Lowe 16). NORTHLANDS: 2nd Innings, 1 10 for 9 declared (Lowe 6 for 34). KEARSNEY: 2nd Innings, 25 for no wicket (Robblns 14 not out). November 20th v. KOOKABURRA C.C. at Kearsney (Draw) A very strong side came up under the captaincy of Mr. Roy McLean, and a very enjoyable and high-scoring game ensued. The Kookaburra C.C. won the toss, and set about scoring 179 runs In quick time, and then declared with 5 wickets down. Mr. McLean scored a rapid century In 35 minutes, which Included 16 fours and 2 sixes. The bowling was treated very harshly, but the boys were still prepared to bowl at the stumps. The Kearsney Innings again started badly, but Cross,who was the last man out,and Hulett, batted with great determination, scoring off any loose balls. They batted particularly well against Mr. Jerome(the Natal bowler) and Mr. Cohen, the fast bowlers, and Messrs. Deavin and van Rooyen the spinners. KOOKABURRA C.C.: 179 for 5 declared (Lowe 2for 37. McLean 101). KEARSNEY: 1st Innings, 107 for 4 wickets (Hulett 55 not out, Cross 40, Jerome 2 for 21). November 23rd v. GLENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL (Cancelled, Rain) 320
