First Test

Match With

West Indies

BATSMEN FARE BADLY

VERY STICKY WICKET

Barbados, Jan. 8. The first official cricket Test Match ever to be played on West Indies soll, opened to-day, when on a sticky wicket, the West Indies were dismissed for 102 and England lost her first five wickets for 81 runs.

R.E.S. Wynit won the tone, but after on Inspection of the turf wicket, which was obviously very tricky after recent rains, decided to put the West Indien in.

Five thousand people were pre- sent at the start, and, saw the West Indies collapse against the bowling of Kenneth Farnes, Paine and Hollies,

The only batsmen to make any impression was Hendley, and he remained at the wicket two hours to score a gallant and stolid 44. Indication of how subdued he had to remain is given in the fact that he scored only two boundar- ies.

Kenneth Farnes had a wonder- ful spell of bowling before lunch, his kicking deliveries oarning him four wickets for 16 runs. In his second spell he was hit about, and finally conceded 40 runs,

innings, bowled fine length and upset the batsmen with his leg-breaks. Faine was oven more difficult to play with his excellent flighting and puzzling spin.

England fared almost na budly as the West Indies, and but for Hammond would have been la a very bad way. The Gloucester bataman played

characteristic

cricket to score 43 and remain unbeaten, but Wyatt, Leyland, Hendron and Ames all failed. At the close England were 21 runs in arrears with five wickets In hand.

You can open one of those smart Ventipanes just a little, and out out goes the stuffy air, in comes the pure fresh air, without drafts or any splatter of raindrops. This helps to keep the inside of the windshield clear for front seat passengers, which certainly makes driving safer for all con- cerned. And it keeps the occupants in the back seats from being chilled by drafts, or getting all hot and squirmy and restless.
