BY 8 WICKETS
George Headley Scores A Century In Each Innings
Despite a splendid effort 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 pbtained the necessary runs for victory with cight| 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 knock,
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 able to face the hostile English bowlers.
London, June 27,
