Johnny Hennessey , George Lott Shine in Davis Cup Trials at Augusta

Indianapolis Tennis Star Meets Doeg Today; Lott Plays Jones. STAR TRIMS ALLISON Local Flash Playing Best Game, Critics’ Belief. By Times Special AUGUSTA, Ga., March 23. Johnny Hennessey, brilliant Indianapolis tennis star, met Johnny Doeg of Leland Stanford University here this afternoon in the trials for the American Davis Cup team. George Lott of Chicago played Arnold Jones of Providence, while Bill Tilden was to tangle with Edward Chandler of Harvard University. Wilmer Allison was to play Wray Brown, while Hennessey and Lott were to meet Jones and Doeg in a doubles match. Hennessey and Lott are regarded as the two brightest stars among the young tennis luminaries here and many critics scanning the daily performances are of the opinion that Indianapolis youth and the Chicago star are playing the best tennis of their careers. Hennessey Wednesday defeated Bill Tilden in a gruelling five-set match and Thursday Lott very nearly turned the trick again. The young Chicago star lost to the Davis cup captain, 6-8, 6-2, 6-1, 3-6, 7-5. Hennessey flashed through three brilliant sets against Wilmer Allison, national intercollegiate champio, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.

Seek to Hatch, Rear Pheasants The membership of the Marion County Fish and Game Protective Association will be increased by at least five hundred before the drive for new members launched Feb. 1 is complete, it is estimated by the officers of the association. One of the chief purposes of the association is the restocking of the streams and fields with , fish and game. An entirely new phase of this work is being added to the association’s regular program this year, the hatching and rearing of ringneck pheasants. With moderate success in the raising of these birds the sportsmen of the State should have good pheasant shooting in a few years.
