There are indications that Japan is passing through another ‘nervous crisis” concerning her relations with the United States. Numerous inter- pellations have been made in the t about the American attitude. While important newspapers are coun- selling their readers to keep cool, it is apparent that a certain amount of apprehension exists concerning the result of the congreswonal inquiry in California. The Japanese, however, seemed convinded that it is being con- ducted with the utm:ost fairness @nd attention is being called to state- ments that a number of ,Americans have come forward spontaneously to testify in favor of the Japanese. Anti-American Feeling. Among the incidents which have tended to fan anti-American feeling was the publication here of the re- ports that the burning of Japanese stores in Marysville, Cal., was pos- sibly the act of anti-Japanese ele- ments. Articles also have been print- ed declaring that Americans were en- gaged in attempts to steal Japanese maps. and these have resulted in in- creased surveillance of American tourists, With regard to the Marysville affair, the foreign office today gave out a cable message from Consul General Ota in San Francisco stating that the fire started July in an automobile garage owned by an Amcrican and that three or four Japanese houses nd slores were burned. The consul gexeral called attention to. reports that were current classing the case as incendiarism due to under-selling of white merchants by Japanese mer- chants in Marysville and consequent resentment on the part of the former, but he added that the police denied that this was the fact The consul general concluded by declar “It is unbelievable that was once of endlarism connected with anti-Japanese agitators.”” To the consul general's message the for- eign office in its statement adds de- nials that any of its officials had made statement 1o the Japanese press that they thought the fire the work of anti-Japanese agitators. There seems no fowndation what- ever for reports of map stealing.

It was a nip-and-tuck match all throughout, although the { visitors several times were Visibly thandicapped by their lack of knowl- edge of the lay of the land. Britishers Show Mettle. It was not until the morning round was half over that the Britishers really found themselies and began to play the game that was expected of them, even though their first holes were far above the grade of golf to which the average plaver is accus- tomed. They played with more sure- ness later on, improving appreciably in their. putting. With nonchalance, surprising In view of the large gal- leries of people from all over the state, they stepped to their tees and placed the hall far down the green. Ray’'s driving seemed fo be a shade the better of his opponent's, and Andrews was hitting a long and powerful ball. Shots out of the rough were more or less common, although they were usuallyv made little of, good distance being obtained time. Connecticut Men Do Well. The lower nine furnished a com- plete tie, each side taking one hole, the rest heing halved. Coming in, REiphick., by a long pat, captured the | 12th hole. putting the Connecticut ! men one up. Vardon retaliated on the 13th, however, running down a 12-foot putt for a two, one better than the other contenders in the match ! The remaining holes were halved after a manly struggle by Andrews, who drove into the rough, topped an iron out for a scarce hundred yards, ironed to the edge of the green and, with a mashie, laid in the ball eight feet from the cup and ran down the putt. Ray was on the green in two, ‘but took three putts; his companion took two. On the every a long 18th Vardon showed svhat he could do when forced to, and, with a drive, a brassie and a short approach, was 10 feet from the | hole.
