Madden. the horse trainer and turf
man, who is being sued by his wife for
a limited divorce in Ohio, appears for
examination in Saratoga in connection

day, he will probably be punished for
contempt of court
f p McCrossin. representing Mrs.
Madden, made a motion to have Mr..
Madden punished for contempt before
Justice Kruze in the supreme court,
Brooklyn. This was because he had re-
fused recently 10 answer questions be-
fore a referee in Saratoga who had
been appointed by the court Counsel
for Mr. Madden argued that the pro-
ceeding was without warrant of law,
and any testimony given there would
rot be received by the courts Of Ohio.
This argument did not appeal to JUS
tice Kruze When asked to postpone the
contempt proceedings he consented 70
DO so untn Tuesday with the stipula-
ton that Mr. Madden should appear for

Jimmy says that he does not think his

TO prove that he had put on consider

street clothes Nelson weighed 15f
pounds. IT was estimated that his at

his net weight 145 pounds. This means

worker, he should have no difficulty in

THE PROBABLE WINNERS
By ]. S. A. MACDONALD.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 19.-Though
Artfurs name appears among the en-
| tries for the Saratoga Cup. TO be run
as the feature event here today, there
is scarcely remote chance of her start
! ing.
To begin with. she will not encounter
Sysonby. and according to the wish and
| spirit of Harry Payne Whitney. the
greatest purpose of the thoroughbread's 5
| life is to lower the colors Of the great
| Sysonby. the pride of the rival stable
| of James r. Keene. Trainer Rogers
and young Whitney agreed the first
start of the great daughter of Hamburg
should be in the annual championship
at Sheepshead Bay, where Sysonby is
sure 10 come out.
Banner Day.
This is virtually the final day of Sara
togas banner racing. It is the last
Saturday here, and as signalizing the
| occasion. the Saratoga Cup. the $4,000
| United States Hotel Stakes. and the
| Beverwick SteepIechase are offered.
| The opening selling race at three
quarters of a mile goes to Peggy O'Neil,
| If she runs up to her work, and her
general form of the West. She wins
| here. with Brush Up next and LochinYar
third.
| In the Beverwick Steeplechase, over
the fun course, the winner looks Ike
/ Jim Newman. It is a two-horse race,
| as Jimmy Lane had the best of luck in
| his one good race. Maiden and jim
! Newman stand by themselves here, and
| like the Hitchcock horse, with Ray up.
The United States, at six furlongs. for
| o-year-olds, goes to Whitney.
! Cairngorm for Cup.
The Saratoga Cup of one and three
quarter miles. is going to be a three
| Eorse race, inasmuch as Artful will not
/ be seen at the barrier. Cairngorm has
benefited by a long rest. and is better
! than ever BeIdame appears TO be hope
| less I make it Cairngorm, Caughna-
waga, and Beldame.
| At a mile, the best class horse in
the fifth is Mad Mullah. He can win
here today, with Lord Badge second and
King Rose third. In the race for two
year-olds, at three-quarters Of a mile
a very classy lot of youngsters is found
! OF the bunch I believe Running Water
stands the best chance Of winning.

CLEVELAND EASY
FOR Tom HUGHES
Made Sluggers Look Like
Thirty Cents.
NATIONALS HITS COUNTED
Made Eight OFF Earl Moore and They
Came in Bunches-Cinched
in Eighth.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 19-The Nationals
got a good start O., their long Western
trip yesterday by banking the home
team by 5 10 0.
Long Tom Hughes. Cleveland's hoodoo,
vas on the rubber for the men from
Washington, and he had Acting Man
ager BradIey's bunch so badly ratified
that there was never any question as
to the outcome of the game. But twice
during tbs nine innings We're the local
players able to set the Dali out of reach
of the Washington heIders. One of
these bingles was a double by Jackson.
and the other a single by Bill Bradley,
but both went TO waste. as both run
ners died Hughes had ten stril1e-outs
to his credit, and when the Clevelanders
were not tanning they were popping up
easy chances.
Bunched on Moore.
Earl Moore at times pitched well, but
the eight hits made off his delivery
were so arranged that they told heavily
in the run column. Washingtons field
ing was perfect and at times brilliant
but two untimely misplays by the home
team helped the Nationals to amass
their five runs.
Manager Stahl's display of temper at
Washington on Monday robbed the vis-
itors of their captain and first baseman.
so a rearrangement of the team was
necessary. Smiling Charley Hickman
was shifted from second TO first, and
Nil was mustered in to play second.
Both sides trudged along without
scoring until the fifth. when Washing
ton got one. Knoll started proceedings
by cracking out a single. He went 10
second on Cassidy's sacrifice and beat
Jackson's throw home when Heyden
singled to left.
Happened in Eighth.
The Nationals got one more in the
seventh. Big John Anderson doubled tO
center and worked himself around on
KnolTs long fly and Bueiow's passed
ball. But it was in the eighth that the
visitors broke up the game. Heyden
got his third hit a double TO right, and
Hughes followed with a single that
counted Silent Ned. Hill attempted tC
sacrifice by bunting, but StovaIl, who
covered the bag. dropped the throw
which gave Hill a life and allowed
Hughes 10 pun up at third After Hill
had skied out to center Hickman tore a
hit went for a double and scored
Hughes and HILL

SOME GOOD VETERANS LEFT

Eastern High School is expecting
great things from it's football team
in the coming season. and the knights
of the gridiron predict that old Eastern
viii this fail repeat her conQuests of '97
and again win the championship.
Since the pennant was won by the
captains of Capitol Hill they have had
the toughest of luck They have had
to scrape and scrape about for players
from less than hundred boys.
Notwithstanding adverse conditions
last year good eleven was developed
through the efforts of one of the more
broad-minded of the faculty and Coach
Ewing.
The team spoke for itself. With the
exception of two or three players they
did not know the game in seasons be-
fore well enough to compete with Cen
tTal and Western, until Mr.. Ewing took
charge. The change was marked. and
the results only TO be expected for the
material was better than good.
Loses Ewing.

MRS. TORTUR|C|
VISITS POLICE
She Calls Upon Detective
Captain Burnett to Show
That She Is Still Here
CLAIMS HER FURNITURE
Will Begin Housekeeping
With Her Baby and Mrs.
Vanni for the Present

Early yesterday morning Mrs. Rosa
Torturici called upon Police Captain
Burnett to report that she was still
within call of the authorities and that
she had no intention of leaving the
city. She carried her baby and was oc-
companfed by Mrs. Julia Vannf, at
whose house she is living. Mrs. Tor
turici said she understood that she was
required to report daily to the police
concerning her whereabouts. but Cap
tain Burnett assured her that that was
rot necessary. She then asked that
her meager furniture, stored with the
property clerk, should be delivered to
her, as she wished to set up housekeep-
ing. This privilege was granted. This
was the furniture of the rooms she
and her husband occupied when the
body of Biaggio Vilardo was hacked to
pieces by her husband. Evidently the
ghostly. souvenirs of that revolving
murder would call to her simple mind
no ghosts of remorse for her part in
shielding the murderer The table at
which Vilardo was sitting when he was
stricken down with a cleaver in the
hands of Pietro Torturici would recall
no horrifying remembrances to her.
Even the chair on which the victim sat
would not be proclaimed taboo, and her
little chuckling baby would sit on, a
pillow upon 1T and goo, goo, while the
table was being spread. 1t Is remem-
bered that the wife helped to clean up
the blood that the husband had shed.
1t was a disagreeable task, but she was
the wife OF the murderer and to her he
was more than, any one else in the
world. In the hands Of her kind and
sympathetic countrywomen she could
ignore the past and live for her absent
husband, her present baby and for the
| little one to come
So baby Torturici may coo at the
dishes when the table is spread, while
mother thinks of the absent husband
and father and speculates how long it
will be before the scandal fades from
! the memories of men.
