Last week the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association picked a team for the Davis Cup match with Mexico next month: Wilmer Allison, member of two previous Davis Cup teams; towheaded, 19-year-old Sidney B. Wood Jr.; strong, swart Francis X. Shields, 20. J. B. Adoue Jr. is the non-playing captain. He was picked because he is an experienced player and because he lives in Dallas, Tex., so that it will be easy and cheap for him to get to Mexico.

Of these Mercur finished up a bad season by being declared a professional, while the other three merely failed to keep pace with the rising tide of youthful stars which made the past season such a significant one in the development of American tennis...
...John Doeg of Santa Monica were seeded No. i-the defending champions-when the national doubles tennis tournament started last week at the Longwood Cricket Club at Chestnut Hill, Mass. Form ran true, and the first four seeded teams got into the semifinals. John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison put out Berkeley Bell and Gregory Mangin, 6-8, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. Then Doeg & Lott had to beat Tilden & Hunter, knowing that Hunter was playing much better and that Tilden, though he had a bad charley-horse in his hip, wanted moje than anything to get back this...
