Rx HENRY VANCE

Raindrops were as thick at Rick wood Monday afternoon as apostro- phes in Ireland, and as result of the 'steenth shower of the afternoon, the ball game was called in the sixth in- ming, with the score standing 2-i la favor of the Barons. By virtue of this abbreviated win. the Dunnsters hung up their seventh straight victory. as the corpulent Joseph periscoped pro- eeedings from a vantage point in the clubhouse. Joe was in cits for the last time during the progress of a ball game Monday, his suspension of five days being lifted by Golly Mar tin today.
 While only six innings were played. the fans got little bit of everything - for their money, including a baby cy- clone, which preceded the shower. Circus catches were as thick as hops in frog pond, Stuffy deStew, Harry the Harp. and Tommy the Taylor. sending the stands to their feet with some remarkable work. and Johnny Neun, of course, shining a-field.

was on tho hill for the old Dutch Cleansers, while Redolent Bates was chunking em for the homelings. The Crackers were hitting Bates pretty hard, getting seven wallops for the six frames. but were only able to make these hits count for runs in only one inning-the sixth. The Bar ons found Marshall for like number of base blows, but put the wallops to work in creating couple of coun- ters.
 The Barons presented a ragged lineup again Monday, Achinger fall ing to report back to the club and Sugar Kane not being ready for work As result. Stump Clarke again looked after things around the shortfield, and Mike Eberhard was in left field. For the Crackers, Red McDermott. the ancient infield' er who joined tho visitors here. was stationed at third by Manager Bern sen. Red played for only an inning and was then forced to retire in favor of Hook, because of a bum pin.
 Barons Score fin First
 In the first frame, the Barons clicked off one tally and took the lead. Stump Clarke was first up and opened the pot with two bagger down the left field foul line. Stew art and Harper were helpless in the pinch, popping to short and third

Australians Cop Dauis Cup Match From
 Frenchmen
By Associated Pres.

Longwood Cricket Club. Boston. August 14.--Australia advanced to the final round of the Davis cup prelimi- nary competition today over the ten- his team of France. Pat O'Hara Wood, doughty little player from the land down under" struggling against an aching shoulder and giant Frenchman. Andre Colbert. who was favored to win. scored the de- ciding point for his team by winning, 2-6: 62. 6-1. 6-4. Gerald Patterson, Australia's captain, in a post-clmax match with young Henri Cochet, won another four set victory, 62: 2-6; 6-4; 62. As a result of the tournament, totals stood: Australia, matches won; France one.
 Australia now goes into the final round with Spain, beginning at Phil adelphia Thursday, viotors over the fighting Frenchmen, but a somewhat uncertain factor as result of in- juries. James o. Anderson, second only to Patterson, who took no part In the play which ended today, is still sick man. O'Hara- Woods shoulder is shot with neuritis and Patterson's ankle allied him notice ably this afternoon.
 The victory of OHara- Wood was unexepted. After Colbert, with scintillant strokes, had run off the first set allowing his opponent only two games, the little Australian ap- peared outclassed. But his nerve and a hot sun turned the tide. They played base line game, advancing seldom and remarkable shots were rare.
 The Patterson Cochet match. which brought together the champions of Great Britain and France, world ti- tleholders, respectively, on turf and on dirt, did not develop tennis of more than mediocre quality Each displayed strokes that were signifi- cant of their standing in interna- tional tennis. but the previous decis- ion of the tournament robbed the play of crispness,and tension.
 Patterson both felt and favored the weak ankle. His service was marked by many aces-17-and by al- most as many double fauIts-16. Cochet tried to maintain the standard he set in the game he won from O'Hara- Wood. Frances only victory, but fell considerably short of 1t.
