CRICKET TOURISTS COME INTO THEIR OWN
Headley, Stollmeyer,
And Sealey
Hit 100's at Lord's
By C. W. Packford
Lord's: West Indies 491 for 3; Middlesex to bat
The Middlesex bowlers passed through a day of toil- ing, ineffective effort. A new happy West Indies team, in their element in brilliant sunshine and on a wicket that George Headley for one would love to carry around with him, played havoc with spin and speed to such an extent that, in the end, one marvelled if runs did not come from every ball.
During the day there were two partnerships of over 200, a double individual century; two other three- figure Innings and nearly 500 runs collected for the loss only. three wickets.
All types of bowling were treated almost contemptuously, It was amazing batting altogether for in six hours play the only wickels that feil went at mid-day; then at 3.45, and finally at 6.20, and during the whole time, apart from the two catches that were accepted, there was not a single clince offered encourage a field that was literally run off its legs long before the end.
We were certainly not prepared carly on for tila rlot of runs, for although Bayley and the younger Stollmeyer opened scoring at the rule of a little more than a run a minute, the promess was merely nedaje or orthodox,
STOLLMEYER AMAZES What followed was a revelation. Jellery Stollmeyer and George Head- ley settled down to superb stroke play. Hendley we know of old. Eng- Jand bowlers have suffered at his hands on many an occasion In the past, but the 18-year-old Stollmeyer amazed everyone.
A toll, the athlete, he gets tremendous power into his atrakes by perfect following-through and the Iatedpplication of "wrist."-His- batting was of a high order, his off-side play, In particular, belag delightful.
This combination of youth and majestle expertener increased the score by 200 in ten minutes under the three hours, and it came ES: E genuine surprise when, 12 runs later, the boy balaman was dismissed for obstruction of Jim Smith. He had played a really clussie innings that included 11 boundaries.
John Senley joined Hendley, who was now 03, to add to the trials of the bowlers. Directly after his arrival Headley reached three figures for the third time this season, and, with Scaley in the same canadent mood as his more famous partner.
Two Britons Invited To Run At Athens
London, June 21. Two British runners, J. W. Beman and S. Yarrow, are among those who have been invited to take part in a mara- thon race at Athens on Octo- ber 8 to commemorate the famous marathon race run nearly 2,400 years ago.
Invitations are being sent to the first three in the marathon race of the 1938 European Championships, the winner of the British marathon, and the best non-Greek winner of the Balkan Games marathon -of 1938. Reuter.
