But the younger player could not stand the strain, committed a succession of blunders, and the champion went on to win 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 and qualified for the "Last Eight."

AFTER SHOCKING| OPENING

HEADLEY AND SEALEY

MASTER BOWLING

Kingston, Mar. 14. A masterly unfinished stand of 143 by George Headley and Sealey placed! the West Indies in a very strong position at the close of to-day's play in the fourth Test Match with England. These two ad- vanced the score from 92 for 2 to 235 for 2 before stumps were drawn, and accomplished the feat in face of brilliant fielding by the Englishmen, says

Reuter.

The weather was glorious and the wicket fast when West Indies | won the toss this morning, and quite naturally decided to bat.

A crowd of 6,500 had gathered to see Barrow and Hendley open the innings, and they saw a son- sational start.
