TILDEN PLAYS KINSEY
Doubles Event to Be Con-
tested Saturday.
BY GESFORD F. FINE,

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 COM
petition. 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 CAL
ifornia 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
whitening fire of Hennessey's driving
game.
Although Kinsey is a crafty vet
eran player, few Mexican support
ers accorded him a chance to defeat
Tilden. The American players ex-
pected little trouble in winning the
singles.
Kinsey declined to make any pre-
diction, but it was an open secret
the MeXicans will make their
greatest bid for victory in the
doubles, Saturday afternoon.
Kinsey and Alfonso linda, a
veteran Mexican Davis Cup player,
will meet Tilden and Arnold Jones
of Providence, R. L, 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.
