...meant to deflate the Mexicans entirely. Having one of his good days, the erratic McKinley routed the No. 1 man on Mexico's team, Rafael Osuna, in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5, 6-3. No matter that the U.S. team's No. 2 player, Jon Douglas, lost a tough, five-set match to Mexico's veteran Antonio Palafox.

Canadian-born, he sang in various church choirs and in am ateur operetta productions (Naughty Marietta}, but planned on a business career. He had worked up to tool buyer for the Hudson's Bay Co. department store when the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto heard of him and gave him a three-year scholarship, starting a career that led him at last to Covent Garden and a stunning success...
