Debt To Eddie Paynter: Skill Under Adversity

By Kennth Rankin

London, Apr. 19.

Some of the cricket played last season by Lancashire, who finished fourth, could hardly have been bettered, but there were times when they got into rather deep waters, noticeably against Yorkshire, who beat them twice, a thing which had not happened since 1909.

Watching this grand little player batting, fielding or running between the wickets, it is hard to believe that he is over 37. After his great doings in South Africa he will be more of a popular ticket than ever.
