CANADIAN STARS LOSE TO AMERICAS BEST IN DAVISCUP SINGLES ctor American Netters Victorious In Davis Cup Single Matches in 4 Weather Unfavorable to Competitors--U.S. Rack- ets Earn in All Matches, Decisive Victories -- Wright Puts Up Plucky Fight Mon'real, May 17.--The com- bined efforts of the weather and the Canadian team failed to stop the United States Davis Cup ten- nis players here in the first step of their second campaign to fake back the historic trophy from France. The visiting team, erst- while holders of the trophy, cap- tured both singles matches today when John Van Ryn, Princeton, N.J., defeated Willard F., Crocker, Montreal, 9-7, 6-2, 6-3 and John Hennessey, Indianapolis, Ind., con- quered Dr. Jack Wright, Montreal, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, 7-5, and took a commanding lead in the three-out- of-five match series. Tomorrow Hennessey and Van Ryn will meet the Canadian med- ico-tennis experts, Dr. . Jack Wright, Montreal, and Dr. Art Ham, Toronto, in the doubles. The final singles matches will be staged on Saturday. Weather Unfavorable Today's victories were decisive and well-earned and the winners gave a masterful display under most adverse conditions to turn back the attacks of the best that Canada had to offer. The weather did everything in its power to make life unpleasant, Coming up almost directly from the South, the United States team had to take the courts in a cold and biting wind. They refused to be ruffled, however, playing with a steadi- ness that could not be shalen, Even the determined attacks of Wright and Crocker only ruffled them momentarily. Crocker gave Van Ryn'some anxious moments in the opening set when he had setpoint in his favor on three occa- sions. But once he bad pulled him- self out of that hole, the young Princeton player sprang into the attack with renewed vigor, assum- ing through the last two sets with a concentrated attack, had Crock- er in difficulty all the way. The genial John Hennessey met with stern opposition in his match with Dr. Jack Wright. The latter, contrary to expectations, did not appear greatly disturbed by the weather, and set to work to play his formidabe opponent stroke by stroke. He returned Hennessey's loop shots with heavily sliced placements, and on the whole held his own at steadiness and general play. Wright Gives Plucky Display But Hennessey is an old-timer at international matches and showed his experience by tighten- ing sufficiently in the pinches 10] win the points he needed badly. 'Wright's plucky attempt in fhe fourth set which he forced up to 7-5, after the score had gtood 2-0 against him, was the redeeming feature in an afternoon which had few minutes of sustained excite- ment. Van Ryn and Crocker were the first to take the .courts, and they did so with a roaring wind driv- ing across, ,threatening rain at any moment.

With the Canadian' serving, the game went to deuce in what proved the crit- ical game of the set, probably in the whole match.

I 1 Green dept. The Clare Levack trophy was pre- sented to the Ontario Amateur La- crosse Association by the father of Clare Levack, Mr. William B. Le- vack, on March the 30th, 1923, and was presented as a challenge trophy for the association Championship, this includes intermediate teams. As far as is known this prize is the child of an argument that arose in 1923 regarding the respective merits of intermediate and senior lacrosse teams. There can be no dispute now as the originating of the Levack Trophy as a Challenge Cup gives any intermediate team the right to play for it. During its six years existence this cup has changed hands four times, the Weston team has so far been the one most successful in winning it having their name on four of the silver plates, three times in succes- sion is the record for holding this more recently presented trophy and that honor also goes to Weston, Oshawa General Motors Lacrosse Club won the Levack Trophy last year and along with the Globe Shield expect to retain it throughout the { coming season.
