ENGLAND WINS FIRST TEST

BY 8 WICKETS

George Headley Scores A Century In

Each Innings

Despite a splendid effort by George Headley, who scored 107, the West Indios were dismissed for only 225 in their second innings in the First Test match at Lord's yesterday, and England obtained the necessary runs for victory with eight| wickets in hard.

This was Hendley's second century in the match as he made 106 out of 277 in the tourists' first innings.

England declared at Monday's overnight score of 404 for five wickets, and therefore required only 99 runs in the second knock.

At one stage of the match, the West Indies appeared to have a good chance of forcing a draw, but apart from Headley no-one else in the aide was able to face the hostile English bowlers.

London, June 27. England declared at their over- night total of 404 for five wickets this morning on the third day of the First Test against the West Indies, holding a a lend of

of 127 runs on the Orst innings scores.

Then came the end when Headley,

SPLENDID INNINGS Hendley's score was 107, which was the result of a chanceless, fighting innings. He was at the wicket for 230 minutes and hit eight boundaries. Throughout he remained on top of the bowling, and if he was at times troubled by Wright's spin and length, he was never in difficulties against
