CLEAN SWEEP
 TO AUSTRALIA
Winners Play French For Right To Play
 Yankees

PROVIDENCE. R. l., Aug. 1e.- Australia made a clean sweep of the Davis cup American zone matches against Japan here Saturday when Ger ald Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood respectively defeated Okamoto and the veteran Zenzo shimizu in the final sin gles matches of the series.
 Wood defeated tired and listless shimizu by score of GA, 6-1, 6-2, but Patterson had keen fight against Ok amoto, finally winning by a score of 7-5, 6-1, 6-4. The matter of ultimate vistory, however, was never in doubt.
 The matches played here Saturday had no bearing on the right of the An zacs to meet France, winners of the European Davis cup zone play, to de- termine the right to challenge the United States for the cup, Australia won that privilege when Patterson and Wood won the first two singles matches of the series and the doubles Friday against Okamoto and Harada.
 The story of the NippoHese defeat here Saturday was the same as it has been in other matches-too much pow CT and speed on the Australians side when it became necessary to take away vital points.

STUFFY PULLS AWAY .s.
 FROM BILL MARRIOTT
Nashville On Hit Spree, Takes Batting Leader
 ship From Crackers

While Atlanta was losing trifle in batting during the week in the Southern Association race, the Nashville team was landing on opposing pitchers hard enough to raise it's team average three point and thus the Volunteers took the batting honors as a team, their mark being, according to averages that include games of August IA, .292. New Orleans gained four points in batting and thus passed Little Rock. Mobile remained the weak sister in batting and it's decline is illustrated by its position in the pennant race.
 In individual batting J. Smith of Memphis maintained his even stride, his figures for the past week being ex actly those of the week previous. Car lisle and Guyon retained their posi- tions in order though both showed some decline in percentage. Good of At lanta did not drop with his team, but gained considerably in his hitting, enough to put this newcomer up among the five leading hitters, though he has not been in enough games to have more than nominal honor.
 J. Stewart of Birmingham, added five stolen bases to his record and had Al to his credit according to the latest figures compiled. Stewart thus pulled away from Marriott of Mobile, who has 39 stolen bases. Paschal of At lanta, sold to the New York Yankees during the week, has 27 stolen bases and has scored 108 runs, one more than Murray of Nashville.
 Merz of Memphis took the lead among Southern pitchers without a decision during the week, because Wingfield of Chattanooga, who had led him by a shade, was returned loser in the one game. he pitched to a conclusion. Karr of Atlanta also passed Wingfield by getting an even break in two games. Weaver of Nashville is the nominal leader of the pitchers, with his nine won and three lost, he having won two games during the week.

LONDON. July 17.-An address by
E. T. Meredith of Des Moines, Iowa,
on How Advertising Has Welded
the United States Market" was read
this afternoon before the convention
of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World, now in session in
London.
Mr.. Meredith reviewed the barriers
that exist in America to uniform
buying customs throughout the 4S
states. He referred to the geographi-
cal barriers found in mountain
chains; the different climatic condi-
tions in winter for instance, between
Florida on the south and the Cana
dian border on the north; the great
distances north, east. south and
west; the distribution of population,
32,000,000 people on farms, 45,0O0,0O0
in cities and 29,000,000 in towns. and
the question of sectional. industrial
and agricultural production.
Nevertheless" Mr.. Meredith de-
clared, the use of locally manufac-
tured products made from locally
produced raw materials is nation
wide, and this has been accomplished
ty advertising. Nationally known
and nationally used products have
been advertised throughout the
nation, and the heads of these con
Germs will tell you that universal
sales would not have been possible
without this publicity"
