By Associated Press

Longwood, August 1.-The Aus tralian tennis team today gained an advantage over France in it's bid for Davis cup challenge honors winning the doubles match with France. It was close contest decided only after five sets. the last one of IS games. The scores were so. SIS, 4-6. 6-S. 1O-S.
 Gerald L. Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood, Australian. advanced today over the representatives of France in the doubles match of the Davis cup tennis play. They defeated Andre Colbert and Henri Cochet 60, 6-S, 4-G, 6-3, 10-S. The effect of the victory was to make it necessary for the Antipodeans to win only one of the two singles matched sched- uled for tomorrow to qualify them to meet Spain in the final match of the preliminary round at Philadel- phia. Patterson, victor over Colbert yesterday, meets Cochet o'Hara Wood defeated by Cochet, will play Colbert.
 Patterson turned an ankle toward the close of today's contest and it had swollen considerably. OHarra Wood, who was called upon as a substitute for James o. Anderson, his bedridden teammate, yesterday was forced to bake out the effects of a neuritis attack today and to- night the arm was a htle sore again, he said.

TYSON HAS MAJORITY
 OF OVER 6,000 VOTES

Montgomery, August 11.-(Spe- oial. John R. Tyson, renominated in the primary Tuesday as the representative of the second district, has 8 majority of e,453, ac- cording to complete returns re- ceived today from all counties In the district. Escambia and Cren- shaw counties were the last to re- port and each gave Congressman Tyson Q majority. Escambia's ma jority sfor Tyson was eos and Cren- shaw's sol.
 Congressman Tyson maintained his record of never having been de- feated for public office. It was his tenth request to the people of Alabama for a political position and it was the tenth time the people re- sponded with favorable vote. It is not probable that any other per son in Alabam has such record.
 Congressmon Tyson carried all counties in the district except Gov ington, the home of his opponent. J. Morgan Prestwood. and Senator Prestwood's majority in Covington was not as great as had been ex- pected.
