LONDON, April 7. - England,
hoaxed last summer by one reported
English channel swim, today con-
sidered the report from Gibraltar
that Miss Mercedes Gleitz, Lon
don stenographer, had successfully
swum the Straits of Gibraltar.
The young woman, a veteran Eng
lish channel swimmer, was in
Madrid en- route to England. United
Press reports from Gibraltar said
she had an affidavit signed by sixty
persons, saying the swim had been
made.
The United Press interviewed Mis-,
Gleitz at Serruya, Spain, and She
said she had started her swim at
7:50 a. m. Thursday in the presence
of hundreds of people from Point
Tarifa.
She said she reached Punta Leona,
Morocco, at $40 a. m, after battling
a stiff current all the way. After
landing there she remained two
minutes and then returned to
Tarifa by boat. She produced an
affidavit, stamped by the military
headquarters at Tarifa, and was
signed by sixty persons, including
the military commandant, a lawyer,
notary public and the pilot of the
boat that accompanied her.
Reports form Tangiers said Miss
Gleitz had attempted to swim the
dangerous stretch Of water Wednes-
day, but had been forced out 1900
metres from the African coast. The

ported to be exceedingly rough and

LOCAL STAR WINNER

United Press staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, April T.
The United States needed only
a victory in the doubles match
today to be assured OF advanc-
ing to the Yccond round of
American zone Davis cup play
at the expense Of Mexico.
The quest of the cup, which was
lost to France last year, began gal
lantly for the Unied States on the
opening day of play when Johnny
HennesSey of indianapolis defeated
Ricardo Tapia of Mexico, 60, 81,
81, and William T. Tilden of Phila-
delphia, beat the eXpatriate, Rob-
ert G.. Kinsey, 6-1. 60, ga.
Tilden and Arnold Jones of Provi-
dence meet Kinsey and Alfonso
linda of Mexico in the doubles
match at the Deportivo Club this
afternoon. If the Americans we're
victorious, they will meet China in
the second round.
The youngsters, who are with Til
den in Mexico, are acquitting them
selves notably. Johnny Hennessey's
play against the youthful Mexican
star was brilliant, consistent and
thorough.
Wilbur Coen, the Kansas City
school boy, took part in an exhibit
ton match, he and Wilmer Allison
defeating Manuel Llano, captain of
the Mexican Davis cup team, and
Mariana Lozano, 6-3, 6-8, 60, GO.
Kinsey was expected to give Big
Bill" a bit of trouble in their sim
giles match Friday, but nothing Of
the sort materialized. Tilden won
largely as he pleased.
1t was Hennessey's rst appear
ance, however. in Davis cup play,
and he acquitted himself notably.

Also 1t has always puzzled me
that none of the other sports ever
