BERLIN, July 3O.-Representative OH
cials at the German foreign ONCE de-
clared that the situation had grown worse
TODAY instead of better. They pointed out
that the mobilization of the Russian army
al a time when Austria-Hungary had not
moved a man toward the Russian frontier
could be interpreted only In one way, ana
that was that Russia was determined 10
support Servia.
II was added that France also was
known to be making secret military prep
arations, and that although Germany had
not vet mobilized it was questionable
whether she could remain inactive much
longer in face of the military pfepdi
tions OH her borders.
II was said that efforts toward the
maintenance of peace were still IN
progress.

TOURNEY
WINDS Up THE SEASON
Columbia Club Will Hold No More
Monthly Events Until
Next Summer.

With the completion of the Septem-
week, the monthly handicap events at
the Columbia Country Club will be dis
continued. as the green committee has
decided not to hold any more of these
popular tournaments until next sum-
mer.
Last weeks play brought out many
exceptionally interesting matches, two
of which could not be settled in one
round and second eighteen holes
was necessary. In one of these, George
P. James. captain of the Columbia
team, defeated E. Lodge Hill in the
semi final round of the first sixteen, 8
UP and 2, while the other was be-
tween Charles Selden and William r.
Harr in the fourth sixteen.
Selden, who figured in the other ex-
tra-hole match, has had a very hard
road over which to travel in this
months event, as he was compelled to
play Hugh Mackenzie fifty-four holes
in the first round before getting a
decision. He and Harr are both rated
at twenty-four and they played a very
ming out because of little better
work on the greens.
A. Y. Leech, jr., of tennis fame, won
the second sixteen. defeating Bill Price
in the finals in closely contested
match, 2 up. Price had to concede
his opponent one hole, but was not
playing his best, while Leech. if any
thing, was above his usual form, as he
made several sensational puts
throughout the match, while his driv-
ing also was good.

it necessary for almost every manager
to be decidedly considerate to his play
ers for fear they would embarrass him
by deliberately jumping, and perhaps
it was this which allowed Griffith to
stand for a lot of playing which did
not come anywhere near the players
standard.
Though the local club has had a very
poor year compared to the two pre-
vious ones, financially speaking, 1t
probably has Jared better than several
of it's rivals. and will have balance
to show on the right side of the ledger.
This has been an off year in base ball.
The threatening war with Mexico hurt
the game in the spring, and the Euro
pean troubles also have had their ef-
feet. Then the Federal League has had
the effect of lowering the standard OF
play, and the public tired of hearing of
the players demands and threats to
jump. It will be well for the Dali
players. who owe all they have to or
is possible to kill the goose which lays
the golden eggs.
There was remarkable reversal o.
form in the work of the Griffmen IN
the two games Just finished at Phila-
delphia. compared with the two the
Mack recruit team played here. Gooo
pitching by Harper and Shaw and a
vast improvement in the team s hitting
made it possible for the Nationals &c
win the two games in philadelphia
thus holding onto third place by 4
half a game margin.
Three games now remain to be play
ed in Boston, and if the Nationals can
win two of these they stand good
chance of finishing in their present
