Waverley and Gordon Lead District Cricket Round
Waverley and Gordon, the top teams, pressed the First Grade leaders as Sydney weather and wind affected play. Marrickville’s revival faded against a cautious display by Noble Thatcher and steady bowling by Hendry. Mosman beat Balmain with a strong 109 by J. Rupert M. and a late W. H. Dowd performance. Randwick closed at 360, paddington followed for 191, and University posted 286 against St George.
