The Volunteers routed the Cana- dians in their League Baseball en- counter at Causeway Bay yester day when they won by the 'record score of 30 runs to 2, the game being featured by hard hitting by the Corps and by numerous field-| ing errors on the part of the Cana. dians.
The Canadians are badly in need of a pitcher and yesterday tried no less than four men with- out any measure of success. Muir started the pitching, but the Vo- lunteers hit him about so badly. that before the first innings was jever Alltree was obliged to re-

Berlin, Germany, July 5.
HIGH hopes of planting the Nazi flag on top of
the tennis hillock this year have received a dash of cold water. Gottfried von Cramm, the best of Germany's tennis playing barons and Wimbledon finalist the last two years, hasn't hit the stride that made Nazi tennis enthusiasts be- lieve that the big Davis Cup would come to Ger- many this year.
Von Cramm was defeated by Fred Perry, of England, at Wimbledon last Friday for the All-England championship. The scores were 6-1, 6-1, 6-0. The German ace tore a muscle in his thigh on the first service. Perry suggested that they stop and von Cramm have the member massaged, but the Baron decided to continue the play saying, “It would be no use now.” Perry smashed only twice during the match, not wishing to take any advantage over his injured adversary.
Von Cramm's refined salon style has been there in matches played so far this year, but results have been somewhat dis- appointing to his followers. Unknown players have forced him to the limit and the Spaniard Enrique Maier made him lower his colours in the Davis Čup elimination round in Barcelona by 6-1, 6-3, 6-2...
