Eddie Paynter Scores Century In
Each Innings In
First Test Match
Third Englishman to do This Against The South Africans: Game Drawn
As generally expected, after the third day's
play, the First Test match at Johannesburg ended in a draw yesterday. The M.C.C., with a load of 32 runs after the first innings, declared their second knock at 291 for four wickets and the South Africans, facing a score of 323, had made 108 for the loss of one wicket when stumps were drawn.
Eddie Paynter, the Lancashire left-hander, who made 117 in the M.C.C. first innings, scored 100 in the second, thus becoming the third Englishman to score a century in each innings in Test matches against South Africa.

Benny Lynch, former fly-weight champion, in another desperate bid to come back, snils to Ireland to-day to train in the company of silent Cistercian monks in the Famous Mount Melleray Menas- His wife told the "Sunday Dispatch" last night: "This oppor- unity of going to Ireland to get away from his old tics is a Heaven-sent chance for Benny,
tery, in Co. Waterford.
"I think he has realised that unleas he gets right down to the task of getting at the future will be pretty dark for us all.
Mr. George Dingley, the Scottish boxing promoter, said: "It's up to Benny and no one else. He can get himself properly it again, and if he does so I can make £20,000 for him in the next two or three years."
Lynch has received a letter from Mr. A. L. Elvin, the Wembley 58 Stadium, promoter, wishing him luck and promising him matches when he 14 is fit for a come-back.
