Mexico v. U. S.

More than one Mexican spectator stood up and yelled: "We would rather lose than watch that gringo play."

The gringo in question was Robert Kinsey, of U. S. birth, but a member of the Mexican Davis Cup Team. His play last week in the tennis matches against the U. S. was indifferent, almost sour. William Tatem Tilden II ran him razzle-frazzle in three straight sets. That was the beginning of a clean sweep for the U. S. at Mexico City. John Hennessy conquered Ricardo Tapia, schoolboy, and later, with less trouble, Gringo Kinsey. Wilmer Allison won a tough match from Alfonso Unda. In the doubles, Captain Tilden and Arnold N. Jones disposed of Unda and Kinsey.

U. S. Ambassador to Mexico Dwight Whitney Morrow watched some of the matches. Mexicans enjoyed the sizzling exhibition battles between U. S. players more than the Davis Cup walkaway.
