M.C.C. Make 206 Against West Indies. SUBDUED BATTING. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received February 16, 3 p.m.) GEORGETOWN, February 15. j The weather was fine and there was' an attendance of 6000 spectators when play was resumed in the third Test! between the M.C.C. and West Indies, j Vigorous fielding, despite one or two ( missed catches, combined with excellent wicketkeeping and fast bowling against which the batsmen were funereal, kept down England’s score. The first 55 minutes produced 15 runs. Wyatt’s bruised fingers are not serious. He batted very slowly for 125 minutes. Hammond was subdued and took 50 minutes to score his first fifteen. He batted for 130 minutes. Occasional flashes resulted in five boundaries. Paine luckily survived for 185 minutes. He hit eight fours off Constantine, although the bowling was of medium pace, with an occasional fast one. Rolfe Grant’s puzzling slows tied down Hendren. Leyland put on three runs in 25 minutes. England collapsed after tea against fast bowling. The wicket had become fiery and the last five batsmen put on only 28. Hylton’s final spell took three for 8 in four overs. Martindale in the last over took two for 10 Eng.land were all out for 226.
