two tennis teams from Florence in
the match at the Y. NJ. c. A., court
Saturday afternoon, winning out in
two straight sets over both of the op-
posing teams The games were mark
ed by numerous errors. but were fast
and the audience seemed to find them
satisfactory from the spectators point
of view.
The match commenced at o'clock
with Mcleod and Hill playing Marion
and Thees. The locals won the set
ID and then retired for the other
teams to compete. This was probably
the fastest set of any which was play.

matched with Moses and Bryan. Both
teams were careful at the outset, try
ing out their opponents, the Sumter
team coming out ahead 6-1 in the set.
Thompson and Jordon both had
strong serves, but were weak on re-
turn.

Leod Ga. "A second set resulted i'm
a victory for the Sumter players, 60.

The Florence men found the near
ness Of the buildings hindrance in
their playing and the court was con-
siderably faster than that at Flor

play good tennis.

King OF Bulgaria DenOunces AtrOcity

New York, July liking Fer
dinand of Bulgaria denies emphati-
cally the hOrrifying atrocities lttribut-
ed at various quarters to the Bull

fore the Greek armies marching
through Macedonia.
His majesty cabled the following
message through the Bulgarian royal
private secretary today:

about Bulgarian atrocities are in

Bulgars Send Men to Confer With
Servian, Greek and Presumably
ROumanian Representatives at Nish

London, July 2O-The advent
of new Bulgarian cabinet, compris-
ing coalition of the Literal groups,
seem to have brought prospect that
peace negotiations soon would be en-
tered into After vain attempts to
negotiate separately with Roumania
the Bulgarian government accepted
the advise of Russia and Austria and
offered to Roumania an important ter
ritOrial concession. Bulgaria also sent
delegates to meet the Servian and
Greek and presumably Roumanian
representatives at Nish to negotiate
an armistice and peace.
1t Is confirmed from Athens that
Servia, Greece and Montenegro are
ready to participate IN these nego-
tiations. Turkey, however has in
troduced a new complication and had
notified the European powers of her
intention to make the Martha river
the new frontier, giving as her reasons
that she always has claimed this from
tier. but that the powers set aside
the claim in order to expedite peace;
that the porte would be prepared to
settle the question by diplomatic
means, but that the atrocities and
vandalism of the Bulgarians in the
occupied territories make it impossi-
BILE to hope for settlement, and that
new conditions arising from the last
war between the allies make it doubly
necessary for Turkey to obtain from
tier guaranteeing safety to CONSTANT
nople and the Dardanelles.
The Porte promises not to cross the
new Martha frontier and asks the
powers assistance in establishing il
SO as to secure durable relations be.
tween Turkey and Bulgaria.
1t is not considered likely that Eu
rope will permit the decisions of the
London conference thus to be thrust
aside.
