Against Superior Playing of Hennesey and Van Ryn Montreal, May 17--The United 'States took a decisive step forward in their quest for the Davis Cup, in- ternational quest for the Davis Cup international tennis trophy, by defeat- ing Canada in the first round of the American zone play. John Hennessey of Indianapolis, Ind.,, and John Van Ryn of East Orange, N.J., foday won the doubles match from Dr. Jack Wright, Montreal, and Dr. Art Ham, Toronto, and as the visitors captured both the opening singles yesterday they have eliminated Canada from further play in the cup tournament, this year. Two singles remain to be run off tomorrow, but will not affect the results. : Today's score was 6-1, 6-0, 1-6, 6-2. The Americans showed a marked su- periority throughout except,in the third set when the Canadians, des- perate because of the lead piled up against them, crashed through with a remarkable rally and led by Dr. Wright, took the set rather easily. Their bolt was shot, however, and the greater steadiness and placing ability of the Americans won them the fourth set and the match. The score of the round so far is: Opening singles: John Van Ryn, United States, 'defeated Williard Cro- cker, Canada, 9-7, 6-2, 6-3. Second singles: John Hennessey, United States, defeated Jack Wright, Canada, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, 7-5. Doubles: Hennessey and Van Ryn, United States, defeated Wright and Ham, 6-1, 6-1, 1-6, 6-2.

The matches were played under fine weather conditions and before a fashionable gallery, including King Gustav. ' His mother called him Thomas-- His girls call him Lorne--but his lacrosse followers all call him "Pat" and so do we (it's shorter) but nevertheless hig real name is Thomas Lorne Shannon and he is a familiar figure wherever. la- crosse fans are gathered. "Pat" «is a veteran goal tender that knows his lacrosse, and knows how to keep the affled enemy from sneaking in tofimany counters. There is no doubt™®about the knowledge "Pat" has of the game as he started to play some fifteen years ago and is still going strong. Among the number of vell known lacrosse clubs that have been fortunate im securing the services of this. stellar goal tender is that of St. Mary's, the one time meeting place of lacrosse championship players. His year's play need not be reviewed and it is sufficient to say that "Pat" played brilliantly last seas on in goal for the General Motors team, that won the senior chame pionship. In size he is not very big, except when a person is shooting on the goal and then he seems like the side of a_barn, covering every little corner of the net with his active body and stick. There is a large streak of kindheartedness in this diminutive goalie and his generos- ity sometimes led him to hand the opposing team a goal to keep them in the proper spirits. (No thanks). However these generous moods only seem to hit "Pat™ when the gaid opposing team is far behind on the score sheet. One thing that is by far more important than all that has gone ahead is the fact that "Pat" is again to be seen with the General Motors Lacrosse team this sums mer and he hag been practicing every night that the squad have been doing their stuff. His work this year has heen of the best and it will be a treat to watch the opposing home stars trying to slip over a fast one on the wiry Thome as Lorne Shannon, MONDAY--"CHUCK" | NATIONAL | PIRATES DEFEAT NEXT IN E LIN Pittsburg, May 18--A double by Paul Waner with the bases jammed in the seventh, brought victory to the Pittsburg Pirates over St. Louis yesterday.
