They repaired immediately to the Chevy Chase Club where they, like their rivals, will be guests through the week. ‘Tomorrow the Americans and Japanese will take part in an exhibition for the President and Mrs, Hoover at the White House. Hennessey will meet Van Ryn and Kadakazu Onda will play Yoshiro Ohta, the Japanese captain, in singles. In a doubles match, Hennessey and R. Norris Willlams, 2d, will pair against Allison and Van Ryn. Play will start at 2:30 o'clock. Joseph W. Wear, chairman of the Davis Cup committee, will come here from Philadelphia tomorrow. Dwight W. Davis, donor of the fa- mous cup that bears his name, will ba the official referee of the champlonship matches. He has named Abner Y. Leech, jr., of Columbia Country Club, the active referee. This afternoon the Americans were to practice at Chevy Chase where their rivals from the Orient have been put- ting in strenuous sessions. The Jap- anese hope to upset the dope. They | will be the underdog. but are judged strong enough to give the Yankees a warm time. Lawrence A. Baker, chairman of the Chevy Chase tennis commitgee, said to- day that more than half the tickets had been sold. They are obtainable at all leading city and country clubs and at Spalding’s. Five dollars will pur- chase a reserved seat for the entire series.

BY WALTER HAGEN, British Open Golf Champion. ONDON, May 20.—Nine years ago I stood outside the clubhouse of the Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club at Deal, on the Kent coast of land, just having finished playing in my first British open cham- plonship match. 1t was a dull, gray day and I had done badly, finishing far down on the list. It was the saddest day of my experi- ences in golf, for in a foreign country I had wanted to do well. Just as I was furthest down at Deal ; | nine years ago, I felt that I had finally 8) “a (Wash.) ~3:18, George and Harold Nelson (Arsle). WEDNESDAY. . Shinnick (I. 8. and Frank T.

A golf resort manager just sent me two of the blackest and most demolished golf balls I have ever seen, along with a note telling me that they must be mine as they were recently found in the bottom of & pond to the left of the sixteenth Tairway, 250 yards from the tee. The jdentification was based on & greatly exaggerated pivot exhibited there this past Summer. ‘One has to pivot in golf, and pivot- ing is not easy, according to no less an authority than Joyce Wethered, Who is again in the lists of British ‘women now primed to stop Glenna Collett’s attempt to win the British women’s event. Many golfers fail entirely to pivot when driving. Their idea of a golf stroke is to do it all with the arms and hands, as_the player sketched here is doing. But golf, like pitching accomplished about all that I could hope for when, at the invitation of his royal highness, the Prince of Wales, I was his partner in a golf match Satur- day at what I am told is the most ex- gflmln golf club 1:1 Europe, the Swinley rest, near Ascot. I wr‘.u delighted to receive the invita- nn.) s (tion to play with the prince and Sir Philip Sassoon, undersecretary of state for alr, and Aubrey Boomer, profes- sional at the St. Cloud Club in Paris. ‘We were told that the prince did not wish any one to follow as gallery, as he wanted to enjoy the game and to play as well as h&t&ux:d and a gallery would riere wi ; m‘l‘met his royal highness at Sandwich a year ago, when he presented me with the ch&mpumshlz cup, and I knew what a fine fellow he The prince is not a bad golfer. He plays consistently in high 80s and is anxious to do better. He is a very keen student, of the game and wishes to hit the ball correctly, and does 50 very oftep. He will improve a number of his strokes and will eventually do scores in the 70s, if he ketfl: at it. He has had some of the best instruction from & number of leading professionals of Eu- Tope. Fwawhed him hit about 50 balls and gave him what pointers I could. Following our game we had lunch at the club, and the prince talked about golf in Canada and on Long Island. “I enjoyed,” said his royal highness, “playing on the courses in Vancouver and Victoria, in Western Canads, and on a Long Island course near the grounds where the international polo matches were held.” CUBAN TEAM TAKES TENNIS CUP MATCH By the Associated Press. HAVANA, May 20.—Cuba advanced to the final round of American zone Davis cup competition by eliminating Mexico in the semi-finals. With a lead of two minutes to one when the final day's play began, Gustavo Vollemer of Cuba, clinched the series by defeating Ignacio De Borbolla of Mexico, in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, 8-6. Cuba will meet the winner of the United States-Japan tle in the final of zone competition. Vincente Banet, Cuba, won the last singles match from Ricardo Tapia, Mexico, 6-3, 2-6, 9-7, 6-3, making the final series result four to one in Cuba's STRAWS, LEG- HORNS, PANAMAS, MADE NEW AGAIN Gleaning, Blocking and Re, ing by Experts a base ball, throwing a weight, or jumping, demands the co-operation A of the body. s . 435 11th St. 802 14th N.W. YANKEE NET TEAM EARNS ITS VICTORY Triumph Over Canada Not So Easy, Although All Five Matches Are Won. BY VINCENT RICHARDS, Professional Tennis Champlon of the World. MERICA's new young Davis Cup team has come through its first test with flying colors at Montreal. Playing on - courts that are different from those they are accustomed to play on at home and with a slightly heavier ball, the American forces won their first round tie in the American zone by sweeping scores, and thereby earned the right to face Japan in the semi-finals at Wash- ington Thursday. Friday and Saturday. I predicted that Canada would not be any set-up, and in spite of the fact that the United States won all five of the matches I think that John Hen- nessey, John Van Ryn and Wilmer Al- lison will bear me out that I was right. ‘The fact that Capt. Dixon jof the United States team played Hennessey in the doubles with Van Ryn instead of Allison showed, in my opinion, that he regarded the Canadians as still danger- ous, even after they had lost the first two matches. So Allison, who is capable of playing briiliant doubles and has been Van Ryn’s partner for two years, but who could not produce his bést form in Canada, did not get into the play un- til the victory had been clinched. Canada put its strongest team into the field in the singles, for Wright and Crocker are easily the class of Canada, and have been for some years. In the| doubles, however, 1 am not sure that| the Maple Leaf officials did not make | a mistake in selecting Dr. Arthur Ham | to play with Wright. Ham, while he has had international experience before, was clearly out of his class against the| Americans, and as a result Wright had | to bear almost the entire burden on his side of the net. I think that if Crocker had been used | with Wright in the doubles the Ca-| nadians might have done better than| take a set. Wright and Crocker have played doubles together for years.

Pitt, ace of the Manor Club_and | holder of the mid-Atlantic title, holed | the putt on the eighteenth green that | beat Fred McLeod of Columbia and Al Tredor of Manor. Of course, during the events that Ted | up to the opportunity Pitt had to hole the winning putt Stevinson was very much in the game. He outscored the Test of the quartet by several strokes and was the star of the amateur side. But it s0 happened that Pitt holed the putt that won. The pros should not | have been beaten, however, for Al | Treder's putt for the half on the | eighteenth hit squarely in the back of | the cup and might just as well have | fing‘eg in as flick around the side, which Of the events that led up to this last hole columns might be written. For there were no fewer than seven birdies scattered among the quartet up to that eighteenth hole, and four of thm came from the trenchant putter of Treder. One in particular—a putt that thun- dered across the twelfth green to score a birdie 3—was the putt that squared the match, for the pros were 2 down after the first nine had been played. Fred McLeod holed a 10-footer for a birdie 3 on the tenth to win and that putt of Treder's squared. The gallery that trooped through the rain after the | &hyers exp..ted the pros to go into the ad and stay there after that, but Pitt and Stevinson fought back, even after Treder had put the paid players in front with a 4 on the thirteenth hole. Stevinson squared on the fourteenth with a birdie 4 en this long affair, and the stage was set for the last hole. Here, with the match all square, no were usually short. But Stevinson and Pitt were so good over this splendid nine that it is doubtful even if McLeod's putting had been right whether the pros could have kept pace with the ama- teurs. All the players agreed after the match that Harry Collis has done a fine job of course construction in building the new nine holes, and that the course will make a great improvement in the go:f facilities at the Manor Club. Chairman Byrne of the golf commit- tee at Bannockburn today had not un- scrambled the score cards in the “hard hat” tournament played yesterday over the Glen Echo course, and could not an- nounce the winners in the selected hole competition, J. W. Harvey, one of Indian Spring’s long hitters, won the -eighteen-hole handicap medal play event at the Four Corners Club yesterday with a card of 85—14—71. F. J. Mulvey was second with 92—18—74 and John S. Blick and F. R. Miller tied for third place with net cards of 75. M. F.

Fuller registered a gross 70 to win the event, with his handicap of three strokes. Several Washington professionals journeyed over to Baltimore today to play in an amateur-professional event in which all the amateurs were from the Maryland Country Club, where the tourney was held. —_— second place at Harvard Breaking its string of victories, this 2-year. old brand runs second to the cigarette established at HArvARD more than 14 years Two, years against fourteen. .. a comparatively new cigarette against three veteran brands. Youth against age and habit. Yet OLD GOLD, the youngster, almost won! It defeated two out of three of its veteran contenders ...and nearly defeated the third! This is the story of the Public Cigarette Testconductedrecently atHarvard, under the supervision of Edward T. Batchelder of the HarvardCrimsonEditorial Board. ¢, Time after time, in these com= parative taste-testsof thefourlead- ing cigarette brands, OLD GOLD has won...and won decisively. In fact, with the single exception of the test at Harvard, OLD GOLD has scored an unbroken string of victories. At Harvard, where pipe smok- ing is a tradition and the taste is for heavy tobaccos, smooth and mellow OLD GOLD faced its hard- est contest. 148 undergraduates wereasked to smoke andcompare the four leading cigarettes. The brand names were concealed, but the cigarettes were numbered. Only one question was asked: “Which cigarette do you like best?” Answers were given by number, not by brand name. Yet in the finalscore, OLD GOLD stood second in its total of “first choices” and barely missed de- feating the brand established at Harvard more than 14 years! Man o'War, the greatest horse of his time, lost one race. And in itsfirstandonly defeat,OLD GOLD, the two-year old, felicitates the fourteen-year old victor.
