Mexico City
I MEXICO CITY, (AIM—One of
'the biggest obstacles to the success
of the United States Davis ('"up ten-
nis team in its matches with the
Mexican team here April 6, 7 and
S Is expected to ho the lofty altI-
t tide.
Mexico City is located on a plain !
7,:tr.O feet above the sea and is
about a mile and a third higher than
Augusta, Oa.. where the American
players under William T. Tilden have
I been training.
The sudden change to this.extreme
altitude often causes the newcomer
extreme discomfort which is espe-
cially marked in the cases of ath-
letes. Bleeding from the nose some-
times occurs, when persons newly
arrived engage in strenuous exercise.
It is also recorded that a diplomat
from a foreign country once gave up
his post here because ho could not
stand the elevation.
.lust how great will ho the effects
of the rarefied air upon the Ameri-
cans is problematical, but it is con-
I sidered certain to have some in-
fluence upon their play. None of the
visiting players has had a chance
| previously to become accustomed to
the conditions under which they must
play and they have only a short time
before the first match, April (I.
Augusta, where the training
matches were held, has an elevation
of but 1:!4 feet while Germantown,
Pa., where the last Davis Cup
matches of last year were played is
bur 400 feet above the sea. The rise
of 7,000 feet to Mexico City, while
more gradual, is comparable in its
• ffects on the human system to an
airplane ascent to a height of a ntile.
Some wag has pointed oftt that
the elevation probably will bo felt
the most by Big Bill Tilden as the
tall captain of the American team
with good marks even when away
from Kansas City.
"In fact," he said laughingly, "I
fade tfco bo?t mark Irrt year when
hnd boon away throe weeks.
