TRAIN WAS WAITING

West Indians Had To Go (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON. Aug. 21. The West Indians conceded a draw in their match against Nottinghamshire yesterday so they could catch a Londonbound train Alex Bannister wrote in the "Daily Mail" today. The tourists had failed to claim the extras half-hour's play available' when they needed only 43 runs to win with seven wickets standing. Bannister said that had the West Indians claimed the extra half-hour they would have missed the train. Bannister said the reason for the rush was to have net practice at the Oval today before the team is chosen for the fifth test against England. WEST INDIES First innings .. ..314 Second Innings C.
