The French had claimed the
forts were impregnable. Yen vi
is the first they have given up.
A French army spokesman
said the evacuation was mot
made because Of enemy pres
sure" It appeared possible that
the French intended to hold the
defense line in the sector on the
left bank of the Day River.
Yen vi, on the streams right
bank, was attacked heavily a
week ago by the Wet Mimi. The
French repulsed that assault,
hailing their effort as an indi-
cation of the effectiveness of
their defense chain.
Yesterday French fighter
planes and bombers, flying so
sorties. heavily attacked Wet
Mimi troop concentrations and

er town of Hoa Binh. 40 miles
southwest of Hanoi.
The bombers destroyed enemy

In kaYoing Wilson

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Hein
Ten Hoff of Germany, the for
mer European heavyweight box
ing champion, has made sue
cess of his first Eastern appear
ance in the United States, and
now is looking around for more
business.
Ten Hoff hasn't been able to
find much work here. His fight
against Bill Wilson of Char
lotte. N. c., last night-which
lasted less than one round-was
only his third bout in his six
months in the United States.
Ten Hoff's fight last night was
briet but impressive. At least
he appeared impressive against
Wilson, who also has been
knocked out in short order by
Rocky Marciano and Roland La
StarZa. The German caught
Wilson on the jaw with his sec
ond punch, and it was over
shortly afterward.
In previous bouts in this coun-
try, Ten Hof stopped Lonnie
Clark in two and AL Sna1ldinp
in eight, both in Western rings.

some 20 years ago, including
time in the minor leagues.
He started with Chambers
burg, Pa, in 1929 and played for
Clarksburg, w. Va, in the Mid
die Atlantic League the next two
years.
In 1882 and '33, Barry was
with JohnstoWn. Pa, and led the
league in hitting his second year
there with a 1862 average. His
work at JohnStown earned him a
promotion to the Baltimore Ori-
oles but when he was optioned
by that club to Scranton. Barry
decided he wasn't making
enough progress. He left the
team in mid-season and came to
work here with the old NRA.
He soon hooked on with sand
lot teams here and in 1887 went
to work for Heurich, where he is
now a foreman. and played with
the team until his retirement as
an active player.
Not Stopped by Accident.
Barry, while handling equip
ment at the brewery in 1916, lost
the first joint of the middle and
fourth fingers of his left hand in
an accident, but it didn't end the
left handlers baseball career.
1T happened in November, "
he said, "and six months later I
was playing ball. My throwing
was a bit off at the beginning
until I got used to a new grip
but it was all right later in the
season. AS for gripping a bat.
