BOWLERS' HARVEST
OF WICKETS
Mt. Lawley's Collapse
ML Lawley** about-face m yesterday's cricket after die fall ol
die first wicket at Claremont was about die quickest thing that has
happened ia dus season's natches.
North Perth, too, went fairly cheaply, losing to West Perth,
while Subiaco and Fremantle defeated the wooden spoon rivals
East Perth and the RAAF, .? ~ , .
Bowe, tn nts first lon«; session «
bowline for the season kept up a liva]
pace with plenty ot fir« from tl
pitch, and Baird, mixing bis lei
breaks and over-splnners clever!
combined weir to Claremont's attac]
and with the. fall of the first wleket i
40. made in 85 minutes, a rout bega:
I Three-quarters of an hour later M
Lawley were all out for 78.
Claremont tried for an outright wi
and Baird continued to bowl well 1
i his best performance so far. In a sot
ceasfui season, finishing with tm
wickets for the match, but the rat
i of the attack seemed tb los« tts punc
in the face of neat batting by Robin
son, who remained not out with . 4
with the team seven wickets down «
stumps.
I Charlie Puckett taking 8 for I
in 23 overs, returned «ven better fifl
I ure« in West Perth v. North Pert
match than Charlie MacGiU ha
done, and although Bob Wilberforce
Tony Zimbulie, Alcorn, Nathan an
M. MacGSM and Austin Cambridg
in a last wicket stand, all made
few runs, no en«, waa able to mah
sufficient impression en Hi« «eon*
book for North Perth to pull off th
match.
Jack Wilberforce and Ernie Hen
j fry« in a spin bowler-wicket-keepe
combination, tried to get Fremantl
; out on their own. with small hostil!»:
threatening from the rest of the Ras
Perth attack: but Giles in a bright in
nings, and Jose and Inverarlty wi tl
nound knocks had other Ideas.. aa<
Oast Perth's 201 was passed wtthou
I a terrific struggle.
I D. Anderson put up a fine effort foi
tile R.A.A.F. against Subiaco. He bat.
ted wost attractively and wen, thai
¡capped it with some most effectiw
fast bowling. His action is by nt
means smooth -or easy, but he kept, UT
his pace, if a little varied in length
to take S for 70 off 18 overs, ont
Subiaco had to "Play tight* to win bj
the margin they did.
It's hard luck for tte Air Force
after their improved showings recent
ly that they have to lose now th eh
three best players. Anderson. Me
Mamara and Ross Zimbulls for train-
ing 1« the Eastern festes.
