The Phillies have a snap. Nine
games remain on the Philadelphia
schedule. of which Moran's Grey has
to win only three to put the flag
away where the dogs can't get at it.
After the Phils have won three, the
Dodgers and Braves can win all theirs

advised his Foreign Office that fur
ther exchange of notes on the sub

had taken.

BALKANS MAY ENTER WAR.
From All Indications Turkey, Greece
and ROumania Expect Trouble Soon.

London, Jan. 3.-Persevering steps,
which have been taken to effect an
understanding between the Chris
tlan Balkan States and to insure Bull
garian neutrality, apparently have not
met with complete success, according
to dispatches from the near Eastern
capitals, and Bulgaria, Greece, Servia
and Roumania still are preparing for
eventualities.
During q discussion Of the budget in
the Greek Chamber of Deputies, M.
Theckotis is reported to have declar-
ed the speech recently delievred by
the Bulgarian premier regarding
! Macedonia which Bulgaria considered
should have been given her after the
last Ealkan war, constituted men,
ace; while the Greek minister of
finance said Greece was making ur-
gent military preparations to main
tain her liberated territory.
Another dispatch from Athens saws
the Greek government has forbid
den expectation of cereals, flour, cat
tie, forage and arms.
Should Bulgaria, contrary to eXpec-
tations, attack Servia with the object
of recovering Macedonia, Greece by
her treaty obligations would it is
thought here, come to the assistance
of Servia, and the Balkan peninsula
would be in throes Of n third war.
Turkey apparently expects trouble,
as the Ottoman government has ex-
PEELED the subjects of all neutral coun-
tries from the Dardanelles.
In Albania the revolution is said to
be spreading and the Italians, who
occupied the seaport Of Avlona, have
sent a battleship to Duarazzo to pro-
tect Italian interests at the Albanian
port.
