ENGLAND WINS BY 8 WICKETS
George Headley Scores A Century In Each Innings
Dospito a splendid offort by George Headley, who scored 107, the West Indies were dismissed for only 225 in their second innings in the First Tost match at Lord's yesterday, and England | obtained the necessary runs for victory with eight wickets in hand.
This was Headley's second century in the match as he made 106 out of 277 in the tourists' first innings.
England declared at Monday's overnight score of 404 for five wickets, and therefore required only 99 runs in the second Imock.
At one stage of the match, the West Indies appeared to have a good chance of forcing a draw, but apart from Headley no-one else| in the side was abla to face the hostile English bowlers.
London, June 27. England
declared at their over- night total of 404 for five wickets this morning on the third day of the First Test against the West Indies, holding a lend of 127 runs on the first innings scores,
At the lunch interval the visitors
had lost three wickets for 117.
Stollmeyer and Grant opened the second Innings of the visitors, and without a run being scored Stoll- meyer was cought by Verity off Capicon.
ffendley and Grant made matters lively until 42 was reached, when Grant was bowled by Bowes. The retiring batsmen contributed 23.
Sealey Joined Headley and the partnership produced 63 runs, when Wie newcomer, who had made 29, was caught by Wood off Copson.
Weekes was next man in and he had six runs to his credit at the tunch interval, Hendley beinst 54 not out, and the total 117 for 3.
Headley played like a master and he, with the other players, stood up extremely well in a grand fight against the strong England attack.
WEEKES DISMISSED After lunch, Headley and Weekes took the score to 154, at which stage the latter anicked a ball from Verity into the hands of Wood behind the wicket. Weekes had contributed 16. Constantine then came out to join
[Headley hnd added 30 to the_score,
his own contribution being 17.
With only nine ron added Cameron, the newcomer, was caught| and bowled by Wright. Cameron had not even opened his account.

SPLENDID INNINGS
Headley's score was 107, which was the result of a chanceless, fighting inilags. He was at the wicket for 230 minutes and hit eight boundaries. Throughout he remained on top of the bowling, and if he was at times troubled by Wright's spin and length. he was never in dimculties against the other English bowlers.
Barrow was at the other end when Martindale was caught by Bowes off Wright for three, Hylton by Hard- staff off Copson for 13 and Clarke caught and bowled by Copsin for nought.
Barrow, had six to his credit. Copson was the most successful English bowler with four wickets for 67 runs, while Wright had three for 75 and Verity two for 20,

Ireland Too Fast For England
Ireland beat England by 0-5 in the annual match for the Empire Cup at Hurlingham on May 20. A large crowd saw polo at its best. The game was played at something like racing pace from start to finish, the combination on both sides was sound, and though every point was con- tested with vigour, only four penalties were awarded.
