_____ ,/%-__• °^# FAVORITES SWEEP CARD gjIDTKE'S CLEVER WORK. Qo Betrceen and Preen Win by His Brilliant Riding. F»rori«* made a clean sweep at the Jamaica jjcetrack yesterday, in spite of the muddy track, „« those •*■ followed form closely went home ilth bulging pockets. The fields were small. 2 a rule, as the condition of the track led to jgny withdrawals, but the racing was above _* usual standard and three close finishes fur- x jjjjed all the excitement that could be desired. g*dtke figured prominently in the day's do «--s. He rode three winners and two of thorn %ctl directly due to his clever horsemanship. 51* ride on Go Between, in the third race, a tjnSieap for three-year-olds and upward at em and ©ne-rixteenth miles, was particularly creditable, and was one of the prettiest pieces of teckcyF»'P that has been seen this year. Six borne* went to the post with Go Between, which wte making his first appearance of the year, a pronounced favorite. Tommy Waddell was a re ding second choice, while Bragg was plunged as and backed from 10 to 1 to 6 to 1. The Schulte -slr y. Bans and Yazd, also had a strong follow fsf. »hi!f Masaniello was the extreme outsider at 15 to 1. Vas&n > -:'o was full of run, and going to the front at the start led by a comfortable margin jßtj] w>'il Into the stretch, with Tazd and Tom _iy Wadded in close attendance. Go Between is ufue.'-. vas slow to settle in his stride and Ets fax back in the run up the back stretch. RuJtke saved ground on the stretch turn, but jUsar.k ■'■■>. Tommy Wad del! and Batts, which «s closing strong on the outside, had him hemmed in and it looked as if As chances of irtcnini were hopeless, although his mount was tannins' strong It would have meant sure de feat to pull up and go around, as the finish was tlhaad so Radtko waited patiently for an open ing. Inside the last sixteenth pole Masaniello ban out a little and into this narrow opening on the rail Radtke sent Go Between, and riding »«trong finish got up in time to win by a short seek tram Batts, which was the same distance before Masaniello. Bragg was always outrun. IV crowd gave Radtke a warm reception when is came back to the stand to weigh in. and it nr well deserved. Eadtte's ride on Preen in the second race, a fcandscap of five and one-half furlongs, was al- BOEt equally good. His mount appeared to be bastes at the last furlong pole by Toscan. but Bad—* kept the faint-hearted Atheling filly go ißf, and. forcing her to respond to his vigorous te_h, wen by a neck. Right and True was probably the best horse in the race at the •eigfctK He was pinched off soon after the start, losing three or four lengths, but was cios- Isc fast at the end and would have won In a few more eirides. Security was also closing strong, after getting away badly and being outrun in the eariy part. Alec Bhlelds's Halifax won the Williamsburg Handicap at six furlongs, nhlch was run as the fourth race Seven of those originally carded to start were scratched, leaving only five to face ifce starter. Halifax opened at 6 to 5. but Jrifted back to 3 to 1. as there seemed to be tare question of his taking up 126 pounds and tl_.r.ir.g in the mud. Just at the end he was lacked down, closing at 5 to 2, a slight favor ite over First Premium. Benevolent and Zlenap, all of which were heavily played. Halifax acted badly at the post, but when the start came Shaw took him to the front and opened tip a gap of four or five lengths on his field. He was tiring at the end and had to be ridden out to win by half a length from F^rst Premium, which closed a big gap and finished strong. Zienap did not clos« with her usual burst of speed in the stretch and ran below expectations. 6he seemed to flounder in the going, and this psafeaJ ;• accounted for her rather indifferent race. Bill Phillips made his first appearance of the y«ar in this race, and while he finished last it was probably from lack of condition, as he ■bowed plenty of foot for half a mile. He has filed out over winter and developed into a fine looking three-year-old. The other winners were Joe Fallen, Blue Dale and Lester I_. Hayman. All three won much as they ple»pfl Radtke rode his third winner on Iwt I. Hayman, which rlosed a slight favor he par O wan Spray, although the latter prob abiy had th«~- stronger following. Ocean Spray broke well, b'jt did not seem to bo- at home in the going, whereas Lester L. Hayman fairly : in it. and after racing f>handos into sub • came on and won "in a big gallop.

Wins Another Match in England's Court Tennis Championship. London. May 7.— Jay Gould, of Lakewood. N. J., the American court tennis champion, defeated V. Fennel, last year's runner-up, by three sets to one in the amateur court tennis championship of Great Britain at the Quean's Club to-day. He will now meet Eustace Miles, holder of the championship. in the challenge round. The score by sets was «— «. «— i, s— «. «— 1 In the first two sets Gould ran away from his oppo nent, playing a fast, brilliant game. In the third set Pennel did better and gave a great exhibition. The effort exhausted him. however, and Gould took the last and winning set as he liked. The American champion will probably meet Miles on Wednesday. EROM'POST, STAUD AND PADDOCK Miller accepted lour mounts yesterday, but did not ride a winner, and as Radtke earned brackets three times Miller lost his place at the head of th winning Jockey list. Radtke now leads with twelve wins to his credit, with Miller second with ten and Garner third with nine. The chances are now in favor of Radtke heading the list for the meeting, as only two days remain. The Pinkertons unearthed a well laid plan by some persons, supposed to be identified with the poolroom Interests, to get the results yesterday at Jamaica. The telephone wire leading into the track had been tapped Just outside the indosure, ii h %E" Ul H. wer beln * Bent b y w »y of Long the^was T, h_-_h _-_? lan waß blocked, however, as tne wire was ordered out. Joe Fallen, entered to be sold for $500. was bid up $500 after winning the first race, by A. Mollnelll. The colt was protected by his owner, however, with the usual S5 advance. H X Knapp. who ran sec ond with Plausible, profited 850 by the operation. Little Ruth, which was well backed to win the first race, was crowded against the rail while rounding the turn, and hit her stifle. Radtke was forced to pull up. and the filly walked away very l^o',, Th * st f ward3 . called Radtke into the stand an explanation, which, under the circumstances, was acceptable. • Alec Shields put Radtke up on Go Between. In stead of Shaw, because the Meddler gelding needs strong handling from start to finish In a race. It was well he div. as not one boy in ten could have landed Go Between a winner. Louisville. May 7— General John B. CasUemaa has accepted the presidency of the Western Jockey Club. AUTOMOBILES TO CLIMB UP HILL.

Carnegie at his private course in Georgia since last fall, and it was on the. recommendation of Mr. Carnegie that he has been engaged by the St. An drews Club. Hutchinson waa the partner of Walter T. Stern in the four-ball match, against John Reid. Jr., and Archie Reid. Aided by the young "pro's" 72, they were two up on the Reids in the morning. The play throughout the day was excellent, but the honors of the afternoon were carried off by Archie Held, who went out in 33. This gave the Reids the lead, and they won the match By 1 up.

Trouble Over a Football Game May Lead to a Break in Baseball. fßy Tel««rapU to The Tribune. ] Philadelphia. May 7.— Pennsylvania authorities and students are incensed at what they claim to be the insulting treatment they have received from Harvard during the football negotiations. Har vard's student manager notified the Red and Blue manager that the Crimson faculty committee had forbidden his scheduling a game with Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's faculty committee wrote Immedi ately, and received a long, evasive reply from Professor White. A second roqu*>st for an explicit statement brought a printed card Inclosed in an envelope. On this card was the curt notification that there would be no football game. A meeting of the committee will be held to morrow, and it Is likely that the baseball games with Harvard will b»> cancelled. MOTOR BOAT OWNERS MEET.

Pastorlus pitched a great game for Brooklyn and had the Giants at his mercy throughout. The five hits made oft his delivery were so well scattered that the home fans had no cause for uneasiness. The Superbas battered Wilts© hard, and after the damage was done Ferguson was sent In to relieve him in the sixth Inning. He managed to keep the Brooklyn men from fur ther scoring. The fielding on both sides was quick and snappy, not an error being charged against either team. A fine running catch by Lumley of Bowerman's difficult fly and Don lin's good catch of Alperman's fly In the sec ond inning were the fielding features. The batting of the Superbas In the fifth Inning will be remembered lor a long time by the Brooklyn rooters. Pasiorlus started in with a double to left. Casey and Batch went out on flies. Lumley then made a three-bagger to centre field, scoring Pastorius, and before.- the crowd had fairly settled back in the seats Jor dan picked out the second ball pitched and sent it over the right field fence for a home run. The Suberbas took the lead in the second Inn ing, when they scored two runs. Jordan doubled and Rltter got to first on a bunt. Humaiell walked, filling the bases. On the throw In of Alperman's long fly Jordan scored. A passed ball allowed Ritter to tally.

Boston ..I..:::! 0 12 :_» Heavy hitting, perfect fielding and Orth's good pitching briefly tell the story of the victory of the Highlanders orer Washington at American League Park yesterday by a score of 7 to 1. The game was marred and some excitement caused by a mix-up between Clark Griffith, the New York manager, and Tim Hurst, the umpire, in the fifth Inning. Griffith objected to a deci sion rendered by Hurst. The umpire ordered Griffith oft the field and grabbed him by the arm. Griffith shored Hurst away and Stahl and Elberfeld got between them. When Griffith went to the players' bench Hurst followed him and struck him In the mouth. After the game Griffith said: "Hunt didn't hit me." Then, pointing to hla swollen mouth, he added: "I had this swollen Up before the game." Hurst refused to talk of the Incident further than to say: "I ordered him oft the field for kicking." The game was a good one and marked by s«v eral brilliant plays, chief of which was Elber feld's fine catch of Jones's hot liner In the ser enth inning. Other features were a good stop by Cross of Klelnow'a fast drlva In the second inning and Laporte's fine stop of Kill's drive In the third inning. The Highlanders pounded Faulkenburg so hard In the second Inning that Patten replaced him. He waa not an improve ment and Budhoff went Into the box In the sixth Inning and did much better. Washington scored one run In the opening inning on a base on balls, a stolen base and a single. The Highlanders took the lead In the second inning, however, with enough runs to win. Singles by Chase and Delehanty and a double by Orth resulted In three runs. In the fifth inning the Highlanders added two more runs to their score. Elberfeld made a three bagger to left field and scored on WiUiams's out Chase singled, went to second on an over throw by Jones and crossed the plate on Dele hanty's single. In the seventh Inning Laporte made a circuit of the bases when Nlll threw th« ball over Stahl's head. A baa* oa balls, a sin gle and the out of a long fly gave the visitor their second run In this inning. The score fol lows: NEW TORK.

MRS. WATERS INSME. (ORONER IS CONFINCm. A Sufferer from Neurasthenia tails of Murder and Suicide. Careful Investigation yesterday convinced Coroner Acrltelll bnd the police that the tragedy w hic!_ robbed John R. Waters of his wife and daughter Agatha In their .me. at No. 144 West TSth street, at 3 o'clock In the morning, as told In a late edi tion of The Tribune, was the result of sudden In sanity. Mrs. Waters had be* a sufferer from neu rasthenia for months, but no suspicion that her reason was affected had entered the- minds of her family or physicians before she killed her daugh ter and herself. Mrs. Waters was Miss Mary Grlswold before her marriage. She was fifty-two years old. She bad fou* daughters, the oldest being the wife of Rich ard H. Oat ling, a grandson of th« Inventor of the. Qatiinß gun. living at No. ___ West 84th, street. Agatha was the third daughter, twenty-two years >ld. The jth»i- laughters ire Ruth and Grace.

The faro attended the Church of the Divine Paternity, at 76th street and Central Park West. The nervous trouble of Mis. Waters became ns» ticeable about two years ago. I.;uely she had bean treated regularly by Dr. Edward E. Fisher, of West 6-d street, who also prescribed for her daugh ter Agatha. The fact that Agatha seemed to be becoming a victim of neurasthenia increased tho mother's trouble. A few weeks ago the physician advised Mr. Waters that Agatha's health would bo ruined unless she took an ocean voyage and had a change of climate. Mr. Waters made arrangements to send Ruth and Agatha abroad with a chaperon. and they were to sail n«xt Saturday. , On Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Waters, the Gatltngs and Agatha went in an automobile to Far Rockaway. calling on some friends at Cedar hurst on ths way back.

The Gatllngs wero left at their own home before the automobile took the others to the house in 76th street. About 10 o'clock at night an unexpected ring at the telephone was answered by Ruth, who discov ered that somebody had made a mistake and had called a wrong number. Mrs. Waters became al most hysterical She complained for nearly halt an hour that the ringing of the telephone bell kept sounding in tu-r ears. Mr. and Mrs. Waters and the youngest daughter, Qr»ce, had sleeping rooms on the second floor of the house, while Ruth and A-:»tha shared a mcm on the third floor. Agatha waa unable to sleep from nervousness, and kept Ruth awake until nearly midnight. Agatha had fallen asleep when Ruth heard her mothers step at tha door andl heard her mother say: "Some one lg ringing the) telephone again." "No. mother." Ruth said quietly, speaking m * low tone so as not to arouse her sister, "the tele phone ts not rinfrlng. Please go back to bed." She heard her mother go downstairs again. Her father had been asleep, lie was not aroused by his wife's Journey upstairs. - Mrs. Waters probably did not return to bed. She muse have searched U. his chiffonier, where he kept a revolver ready for possible burglars. Ruth fell asleep, but she was awakened again about 2 a. m. by hearing her mother walking in tha room. She did not speak to her mother then, but raised her head slightly and saw her mother In tha dim light walking on Agatha's *ide of tho bed. Shtj had no thought of danger, feecaass her mother had walked In her sleep and had entered the room in the same way many t:- Then there was a shot, and Tluth sprang out of bed screaming, while Agat'oa lay dead. Mrs. Waters had placed the muzzle of the revolver close to her daughter's right ear before pulling the trig ger, and the girl was kiiiM instantly. On the other side of the w<\ Ruth stood for a moment, screaming and asking her mother what she was doing. She saw her mother go out of tha room like a ghost. _— c went to the landing and looked over the stair railing in time to see tho flash of the revolver a.« her mother shot herself. Mrs. Waters had reached the third step from the bottom of the stairway when she sent a bullet into her own brain.
