U. S. Tennis Stars Open Drive to Regain Davis Cup

John Hennessey Swings Into Action Against Mexican Star. TILDEN PLAYS KINSEY Doubles Event to Be Contested Saturday. BY GESFORD F. FINE, United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, April 6.—The United States Davis Cup team today opened its campaign to regain the historic tennis trophy which France carried across the sea last summer. John Hennessey of Indianapolis and Ricardo Tapia, 20-year-old Mexican star, were paired in the opening singles match in the first American zone Davis Cup competition. The match was to begin at 2 o’clock on the courts of the Club Deportivo. William Tilden II of Philadelphia, captain of the United States team, and Richard Kinsey, former California star and captain of the Mexican team, were to clash in the other singles match, at 4 o’clock. The two American players were highly favored to win. Tapia, promising but untried player, was not expected to stand up before the withering fire of Hennessey’s driving game. Although Kinsey is a crafty veteran player*, few Mexican supporters accorded him a chance to defeat Tilden. The American players expected little trouble in winning the singles. Kinsey declined to make any prediction, but it was an open secret the Mexicans will make their greatest bid for victory in the doubles, Saturday afternoon. Kinsey and Alfonso Unda, a veteran Mexican Davis Cup player, will meet Tilden and Arnold Jones of Providence, R. 1., the former Yale star, in the doubles. Kinsey is a better double player than he is singles. With his brother Howard, now a professional, Kinsey won the United States doubles title in 1924. HIS THIRD TIME? If Charley Paddock lands a place on the Olympic team this summer, it will be the third time he has represented the United States in these games. No other sprinter can equal that.

Johnny Risko May Refuse to Play Second Fiddle for Tex’s Carnival Rickard Wants Cleveland’Baker Boy Held in Reserve for Heeney-Tunney Encounter.

B'i Ini ted Press NEW YORK, April 6.—Johnny Risko of Cleveland today was requested to hold himself in readiness to replace Tom Heeney against Gene Tunney next July, in case anything happens to the New Zealander. Tex Rickard telephoned from Miami Beach to his matchmaker, Jess McMahon, directing the latter to sign the Cleveland heavyweight as Heeney’s reserve. Risko and his manager, Danny Dunn, are extremely unhappy, however, over the side-tracking of Johnny in favor of Heeney as first choice for the championship match. The Cleveland combination may decline to play second fiddle.

Phillies May Leave Cellar, Says Pilot Shotton Picks Cardinals to Cop Pennant in National Circuit. Bn Vail Cl] I’ress PHILADELPHIA, April 6.—Burt Shotton's goal In his first season as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies is to get that club out of last place in the National League. “I believe I can get the Phillies out of last place this season,” Shotton told the United Press in an exclusive interview here today, ‘‘but beyond that I can make no- promises. “I have seen only one National League team in the South this spring. That team is Brooklyn, and I believe we have a good chance to finish ahead of the Robins.” Shotton bases his hopes for the Phillies on better pitching, better i defensive play and general allround improvement in the entire team. The St. Louis Cardinals, Shotton predicted, will win the pennant. ‘‘The Phillies are not a pennant prospect, but if my plans carry through we will win more games than anybody is expecting us to right now*.”

Blindfolded... .in scientific test of leading Cigarettes, W. T. Benda seLcts Old Gold

W. T. BENDA, eminent illustrator and creator of the Benda masks.

“I have been an inveterate cigarette smoker for years and my interest in cigarettes not only induced me to make this blindfold test, but to make it three times in succession. “Each time T selected the same cigarette . . . OLD GOLD. “However, there was no other choice I could honestly make. OLD GOLD was so superior in its delicacy of aroma, its rich, full flavor so entirely free from any hint of sting or burn that it immediately appealed to my taste. Since the test I have been smoking

How Test Was Made Mr. Benda was blindfolded, and, in the presence of two responsible witnesses, was given one each of the four leading cigarettes to smoke. To clear the taste, coffee was served before each cigarette. Mr. Benda was unaware of the identity of these cigarettes during test. After smoking the four cigarettes, he was asked to designate by number his choice. He named “Number 4,” which was OLD GOLD.
