       7 . A tile roof batten system to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 6 , wherein: 
 said battens including a plurality of preformed holes formed in said side opposite said open side for receiving securing means to secure said batten to said decking.    
   
   
       8 . A tile roof batten system to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 7 , wherein: 
 said battens include a plurality of reinforcing ribs extending between said uphill and said downhill sides of said batten on the interior thereof.    
   
   
       9 . A tile roof batten system to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 4 , wherein: 
 said battens including a plurality of ventilation openings formed in said side opposite said open side to aid in ventilating the space between the roof tiles and the overlayment.    
   
   
       10 . A tile roof batten system to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 9 , wherein: 
 said water deflection surfaces on said uphill side of said battens having a semi-pyramidal shape.    
   
   
       11 . A tile roof batten system to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 10 , wherein: 
 said water deflection surfaces on said interior of said downhill side of said battens having a substantially V shape.    
   
   
       12 . A tile roof batten system to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 11 , wherein: 
 said battens including a plurality of preformed holes formed in said side opposite said open side for receiving securing means to secure said batten to said decking.    
   
   
       13 . A tile roof batten system to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 12 , wherein: 
 said battens include a plurality of reinforcing ribs extending between said uphill and said downhill sides of said batten on the interior thereof.    
   
   
       14 . A tile roof support to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, comprising: 
 a batten formed in a rectangular parallelepiped configuration that is open on one side, the sides of said batten parallel to the longitudinal axis of said batten including openings connecting to said open side to allow water drainage therethrough.    
   
   
       15 . A tile roof support to drain and ventilate the space under the roof tiles, according to  claim 14 , wherein:
