SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-Various
causes were given by three members OF
the board of prison directors for the out
break at Folsom prison last Saturday
in which four prisoners were killed. Di-
rector Charles Sonntag declared today
that it all came of treating the prisoners
too well and coddling them. TREY L.

The selection of Maurice McLbugh-
lin, r. Norris Williams, Thomas c.
Bundy and Karl Behr to represent
this country in the Davis cup tennis
matches doesn't meet with the unan-
imous opinion of those who have fol-
lowed the game very close. McLough-
lin and Williams for the singles
matches couldn't be well improved
upon, but the criticism is of the Sc
lection of Bundy and Behr, both Of
whom play only their best in the
doubles. AS Mclaughlin is a certainty
for the doubles, it was expected that
either William Johnston or r. L. Muir
ray would be placed on the team, so
that in case of injury or a slump one
or the other could take the place of
Mclaughlin or Williams The singles
matches are surely the most impor-
tant, and in the doubles Mclaughlin
and Williams would be very for
midable pair. According to the
selections, though, Mclaughlin and
Bundy will be the first choice for the
doubles. This is as 1t should be, but
Rehr. who is strictly doubles player,

giles chosen. However, Chairman

two clever boxers start in to show

is heard throughout the clubhouse.
Admitting that my brother Bob is

He is only a beginner in the game
