Eddie Paynter Scores Century In
Each Innings In First Test Match
Third Englishman to do This Against The South Africans: Game Drawn
As generally expected, after the third day's play, the First Test match at Johannesburg ended
in a draw yesterday. The M.C.C., with a lead of 32 runs after the first innings, declared their second knock at 291 for four wickets and the South Africans, facing a score of 323, had made 108 for the loss of one wicket when stumps were ¡drawn.
Eddic Paynter, the Lancashire left-hander, who made 117 in the M.C.C. first innings, scored 100 in the second, thus becoming the third Englishman to score a century in each innings in Test matches against South Africa.
