Lancashire Owes Great
Debt To Eddie Paynter: Skill Under Adversity
By Kennth Rankin
London, Apr. 19.
Some of the cricket played last season by Lancashire, who finished fourth, could hardly have been bettered, but there were times when they got into rather deep waters, noticeably against Yorkshire, who beat them twice, a thing which had not happened since 1909.
On such occasions Paynter set an example of skill under adver- sity and of a spirit which refuses to admit the worst which all of his colleagues would do well to emulate. Watching this grand little player batting, fielding or running between the wickets, it is hard to believe that he is over 37. After his great doings in South Africa he will be more of a popular ticket than ever.
