T7.—Australasia elim- inated the British Isles from the Davis cup tennis competition this year in a quickly played straigt sets doubles match at the Longwood Cricket club today. Brookes and Wilding won from the Antipodes by a stonewall defense at the net, followed up their two wins in the singles vesterday by defeating Parke and Mavrogordato of Great Britain 6-1, 6-0, 6-4, and made the score in the struggle between the two ‘countries 3 to 0 in favor of Austral- asia. There will be two singles matches tomorrow, Brookes meeting A. H. Lowe and Parke. playing Wilding, but they will be in the nature of exhibition af- fairs. The Australian team will g0 to New York tomorrow night to begin practice on the courts at Forest Hills, where the challenge matches with tha Americans will be held next week. Neither of the Britons could pens- trate the sterling net game of the Aus: tralians today. Parke was particular- ly weak in his returns, while Mavro- |a time by his catlike work in court covering. His play was spectacular but erratic. Many of his recoveries bordered on the marvelous. Brookes' errors were more numerous than Wilding’s, for he tried for appar- ently impossible balls. His _service was also uncertain, and he started the match with a couple of double faults. It was only in the third set, when | with that the Britons rallied. In the ninth game of the deciding set both Brookes and Wilding became unsteady, but in the last game, on Brookes’ ' service, marvelous teamwork, and quickly end- ed the one-sided maich. Bables!

BECKER BETTER IN BIG FIELD. That is Why Manager Dooin of the Phillies Benches Cravath Som How many times has one Philly fan remarked to another in the course of the recent western trip of the Quak- jew “What is the trouble with Cra- vath? ‘Why has Dooin been Keeping him on the bench?” It is safe to say the question has been asked and answered.in a hundred different was u thousand times, says the Pubiic Ledger. When a man rated as one of the greatest slugers in the game and a fair fielder is benched there is bound to be much wonderment, and the puz- zled fans want to know why. Cra- | vath was a tower of strength to the Phils in their fight for the pennant iast year and was Prominently men- tioned as a candidate for the automo- ¢bile offered the man most valuable to Dhis team. ‘Has he been benched be- cause he is going back? Emphatically the answer is “no.” In the first place Cravath is only out of | the zgame when the Phils are facing | right-handed pitchers. When the southpaw artists are at work Gebby is in the batting order, and when the right-handers work Becker replaces him. It'is not that Cravath has gone back—it is that Beals Becker is play - ing the best game of his career. While the Phils ‘were in the West, Becker starred in every department of the game. No man could have played a better game in the outfield than did Becker the last month. Eecker Is one of the most puzzling players in baseball. Other players have thelr off days—it is no unusual thing to hear a ball player say he s “going good” or “golng bad.” It sim- ply means that ball players, like other human belngs, have their periods of success and thelr periods of failure. But Becker carrles the “in and out” | proposition to an extreme. Becker “golng _good” than.days looks like { night. When he is right he swings at '@ ball with deadly accuracy and won- derful power. When he s wrong h> i appears to forget all that he ever | knew about batiing and hits wildly at balls that are no whore near the plate. Recently Becker has been “go'ns g00d"—as good as he ever did in his life, and, therefore has been a source of great strength to his team. Thers isn’t an outflelder in the country who Las been playing better ball than tdis same Becker. He has hit as hard and often as Cravath would, has covered an amazing lot of ground, thrown per- | amounts to a fectly and run the bases like a Milan. And that is onme reason why Cravath | the Becker has been going so good that he has been more valuable than sreat ability of has been on the bench much of time | | | i | Cravath, despite the GAMES SCHEDULED TODAY.

Head of Germany Embassy at Wai ington Says the Belgium Matter Wi Not Real Cause of England’s Decl ration of Wa New York, Aug. 7.—Prior to Ger- many’s attack upon Liege, Sir Edward Grey tried to impose upon Germany conditions which Great Britain could Jod to absolute inactivity on the part of | the German fleet. The statement of the German charge d'affaires was prompted, he said, by the nearly com- plete absence of news from official | sources in the fatherland, owing to present European conditions, includ- ing cable censorship. “It is erroneous to assume,” said Mr. Haimhausen, “that the Engiish decla- ration of war was exclusively cau by Germany’s invading Belgium. Ne- gotiations in London had preceded the German attack on Liege. During these negotiations Sir Edward Grey promised that England would remain neutral nder the following conditions: —Germany is not allowed tc commit any act of hostility against the | French coast in the North sea. econd—German troops are not al- lowed to pass through Belgian terri- tor; hird—The German navy is allowed to attack Russia from Baltic sea. “To the question put by the German government whether Great Britain | would undertake to respect Belgian neutrality during the whole war, no answer was given. “Sir Edward tried to impose condi- tions which would have secured to | Great Britain: without running any risks all the benefits which it could | have obtained only by a successful naval war, The acceptance of these | conditions would have led to the bot- | not | the | | tling up of the whole German fleet, forcing it to absolute inactivit: | “Knowing, on the other hand, that a great number of French officers had crossed the Belgian frontier in about fifty motor cars rushing up to Liege, which a flagrant violation of Bel- glan neutrality; knowing further that Antwerp was ready to open its most important harbor to the British fleet and landing corps, Germany was re- luctantly compelled to refuse compli- ance with the British conditions.” CAPTURE OF GERMAN.SHIPS GRATIFYING TO ENGLISHMEN Believe War Result in D German Cemmerce Off the S [ o - | London, Aug. 7—11.40 p. m.—The Lloyd's agent at Bordeaux reports that the German steamers Consul Horn.and Actuars have been seized there by the sels can be retained only while the war | ODD 8IGHTS ARE SEEN, BUT PARIS 1§ TRANQUIL.
