FIRST TEST VICTORY.

Robins' Deadly Bowling Forces Follow-on. INDIAN "BRADMAN" BATS WELL (United r.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Keceived 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 27. The weather was fine and the wicket in good order at Lord s for the final day of the first cricket Test between West Indies and England, which the latter won by an innings and 27 runs. When stumps were drawn on Monday tho visitors, with six wickets down, required 92 runs to save the follow-on. The deadly bowling of Robins ruined West Indies' hopes of avoiding the follow-on, for ho captured the four remaining wickcts for 18 runs. ic innings lasted 105 minutes. Just on 200 runs behind, the Indians' second innings opened disastrously, Roach succumbing to the very first ball. Headlev batted brilliantly, a nice variety of strokes. After his dismissal the goocl bowling of the two Yorkshiremen, Macaulay and vciity, gave England an innings victory, Macaulay in this innings bowled with Ave men on the on-side, all in a line fiom mid-on to short fine-leg.
