Davis Cup

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. National Champion John Doeg was not picked because he announced that he could not take time off from business (advertising) to play in Davis Cup matches this year.
