UPS AND DOWNS OF A GREAT MATCH
PLAYING TENNIS OF A CALIBRE WHICH LEFT A CROWD OF 13,000 ALMOST SPEECHLESS, F. J. PERRY, THE 23-YEARS-OLD ENGLISH TENNIS "ACE," CROWNED ALL HIS PREVIOUS FEATS IN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION YESTERDAY BY DEFEATING HENRI COCHET BY THREE SETS TO TWO TO GIVE BRITAIN A LEAD OF TWO MATCHES TO LOVE IN THE CHALLENGE ROUND OF THE DAVIS CUP.
Britain would seem to have virtually won the trophy, for H. W. Austin, in the opening match of the afternoon, toyed with Andre Merlin to win in straight sets, and whatever else happens, Perry can be regarded as an almost certain winner against Merlin.
"It took Perry five sets to beat Cochet, but had it not been for one bad patch in the first set; he would have won in three. As it was he spectacularly brought the game to a finish by sweeping the Frenchman off the court in the fifth set to win 8-10, 6-4, 8-6, 3-6, 6-1.

Washington, July-28..
It is learned from au- thoritative sources that the Administration has abandon-
ed plans to increase com. modity prices in the United States through the further devaluation of the dollar.
The suspension of devaluation may be only temporary. The policy, may be resumed when the Ad- ministration can accurately gauge the effective recovery which has ulready taken place.
President Roosevelt la stil determined to restore the coun
try's purchaalhg power to the 1925 levels but he will endeavour to accomplish this through his re- covery programme rather than by devaluation.
