FEARS REPR|SALS.
Cuban Government Takes
Precautions After Guards
Kill Four Prisoners,
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
HAVANA, May 25.-Extreme precau-
tons were taken by government officials
today to guard against reprisals by op-
ponents Of the regime of President
Machado following the killing of four
political prisoners by their military
guard yesterday.
1t was officially explained that the
four prisoners, two of whom were well
known attorneys, were shot down be-
cause they were trying to get away.
Blame Law Of Flight"
But -Machadoists declared that
the law of flight" which provides i'm
munity for persons involved in killings
of this sort, had been used by the gov
ernment as a shield whenever 1t was
necessary to eliminate opposition leaders.
The four men had been arrested in
connection with the bomb murder last
week of Lieut.. Diego Diaz. This crime,
according to government officials, was
one of a series of terroriStic acts COM
mitted for political purposes by mem
berS Of a revolutionary movement.
ESQ Under Arrest.
Asserting that a gigantic terrorist
plot was being carried out, the authorl-
ties arrested some $50 of the known OPP
positionistS and hustled Col. Carlos
Mendieta and Col Carlos Penate, two
Of the leaders of last August'S abortlve
revolt, together with some of their fol-
lowers, to the Isle Of Pines Prison for
safety.
Gen. Menocal, another of the rebel
leaders. has taken refuge in the Brazil
ian embassy.
There were rumors of revolutionary
activity in the interior, but a strict CEN
sorship prevented either confirmation
or denial of the reports.

The accession of Ellsworth Vines to the world tennis throne empha- sizes the fact that tennis is one of the first sports to uncover a successor to the championship CO., terie that ruled the rooSt for so long and included Big Bill Tilden as well as Babe Ruth, Jack Demp- sey and Bob Jones.

 One of the chief difficulties here is that Vines has no such varying companion as Tilden had in Little Johnston. Big Bill alone and in his prime was just about equal to the task of winning three matches, including the playing of about 75 per cent of a doubles contest.
 Vines has capable enough dou- bles partner in Keith Giedhill, but as long as Allison and Van Ryn can keep up their swift pace, it would be better to confine Vines to the singles.

 Bill JurgeS, whose career was interrupted by bullet wound from the gun of feminine adrnirer shares the Cubs shortstopping with KOenig.
 Lou Warneke, sensational youn2 righthander of the Cubs, owes his success this year to the tutelage of Zack Taylor, veteran receiver Taylor cured the youngsters wild ness.
 Woody English, Cub third base man, formerly was one of the Ma tional Leagues best shortstops. H. was shifted to third when the clut failed to find a satisfactory ma, for the spot.
 Guy Bush, righthander with hte long sideburns, was the Cubs only winner in the 1929 series with the Athletics. He was picked to start the present series and lost.
 Charley Grimm, Cubs first base man, is one of the four playing managers in the Majors. The oth- are Fonsaca of the White Eox. McManus of the Red Sox and Terry of the Giants.

SIDE TIPS ON TANK PLAYERS

 i Lou Gehrig, slugging first sack CT, carried the brunt of the Yam kee attack during Babe Ruth's in disposition. He's tough to get out with men on base. :! Frank Crosetti jumped from the Coast League to the ShortStop post on the Yankees.
 i The Tanks have dropped the 38-year-old Herb Pennock in spots" this season. Great con- trol of his southpaw slants has given him around eight victories.
 The Cleveland Indians grow sad every time they think of the heavy slugging this season of Joey Sew ell, Tank third baseman. Joe was signed by the New York club in 1881 after his release by the In- dians.
 ] Bill Dickey, of the Yankees, is being called by experts the suc- cessor of Mickey Cochrane of the As as the best catcher in the American League
 The Tanks last year shipped Johnny Allen, sensational rookie hurler, to Toronto to cure a ten dency to lose his temper at bad breaks" He cured it.

court, with Tiicen's minclng steps and nervousness.
 Big Bill was always high strung. Vines gives the appearance ot being calm almost to the point of stOlidness. So far as the sheer power of Vines game is concerned there is the testimony of Henri Cochet that the Californian hits the ball harder than any tennis player the Frenchman ever me-, including Tilden.
 Perhaps Henri forgets that fore hand blast of Little Bill Johnston's however. It has been a half dozen years since he was up against it.
