MILES TO PLAY GOULD
FOR COURT TENNIS TITLE

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Playing in old
time form, Eustacey H. Miles of London,
England. worked his way to the challenge
round Of the national court tennis cham
pionship tournament at the New York
Racquet and Tennis Club yesterday. He
defeated Payne Whitney of the home
club, in straight sets. by a score of 6-33
Go. 81. and as a result will meet Jay
Gould for the title tomorrow afternoon
Mr.. Gould refereed yesterdays match
while Harry P. Whitney judged the serv-
ice and Walter Kinsella did the marking
Miles was always master of the situa-
ton, except possibly for a portion of the
first set The visitor handled the ball
with an ease and force that gained the
admiration of the spectators, and as the
match progressed the feeling grew that
the Englishman would force Gould to his
best to hold his title.
Whitney played with force and determi-
nation. and. in the opinion of some, might
have won the first set had he been ia
vored with any luck. Miles found the
grille opening frequently and at oppor-
tune times, while many of Whitney
tries missed by the narrowest of mar
gins. At volleying the New Yorker more
than held his own.
Whitney proceeded to even matters and
lost no time in running the count to 100
Here Miles gained two points. but Whit
ney won the game point by getting a ball
to the dedans. Whitney also won the
fifth game. in which he won the first two
points. only to have the Briton get the
score up to deuce. The count alternated
then from deuce to vantage several times
before Whitney scored the decisive point
with another ball to the dedans
Whitney then won his third and last
game of the set against the seemingly
impossible odds of love forty. Two points
were gained in rallies. and he made it
deuce by finding the grille opening. Miles
then drove the ball out of court, which
made it vantage for the New Yorker who
scored the game point after hard rally.
Up to that point the match had been
productive of the fastest kind of tennis
and the Brton had experienced consider
able difficulty in handling Whitney's cut
Strokes. Miles. however. would not be de-
MED. and the next three games were his,
although Whitney worked hard.
The only game of the second set that
savored at all of excitement was the first,

Under circumstances which demand
strict investigation by the stewards Of the
Washington Jockey Club, Clements was
left at the post for the fifth race at the
Benning track yesterday. Clements, an
early favorite. went up in the odds. Ivan
hoe heavily backed from 3 to l down to

Clements was a receding favorite. He
opened at 3 to 5. rose steadily in price In
spite Of heavy support, and eventually
closed at to 1. Ivanhoe. carrying 'edu-
Gated money, fell nearly a point and a
half In price and was the bearer OF pad
dock sharps' greenbacks.
Although Clements had been left pre-
viously at the post, his failure to start
yesterday caused no end of comment. On
the previous occasion he refused to break
from the barrier. He was ridden by APP
in race. Clements obstinacy was laid
at the door of the inexperienced stable
boy. But yesterday the circumstances
were different. Jockey Mccarthy, the pre-
mier rider of the meeting, had the leg up.
The lad seemingly made strong effort to
break Clements from the barrier at the
start, but without the slightest assistance
from the men who are paid to help Start
er Cassidy.
Clements an Intelligent Racer.
A strange feature of the running of
Clements is that in his first and third
races at this meeting. when we'll backed,
he got away well at the post In his first
race he was beaten a nose after a poor
ride. Then. with Clark up, he was left
His following effort was a runaway VIC

meeting.
With Clements removed, Ivanhoe waited
upon his two poor opponents, Billy B.

the stretch and then passed to the front
and won easily.
The good impression made by the clever
Craftsmanship of Jockey McCahey during
the early part of this meeting was marred
by his failure to win the fourth race with

horse in the race and should have won.

Wagner Will Again Cover Short
stop for the Pirates.

ST. LOUIS, April lO.-Honus Wagner
passed through here yesterday en- route to
Pittsburg, and practically admitted while
here that he would be with the Pirates
again this season. When seen at the
Southern Hotel Wagner was anxious to
escape being interviewed, but when cor
nered admitted that he would probably fix
matters up to play when he got back to
Pittsburg. His one statement was;
Il shall probably consent to help the
team out this season.
That means that he has made up his
mind to get back into P1ttsburg uniform
/ and that he considers the terms that have
been offered him satisfactory. He is due
back in Pittsburg today. and when he gets
there will undoubtedly have a conference
with President Dreyfuss and reach an
agreement with Manager Clarke. whom
he has already seen and conferred with
at Winfield.
Wagner denied that there was anything
in the stories which have been circulated
to the effect that he quit because he did
not like the Pittsburg management or
was not satisfied With the treatment he
had received. He says the only reason
why he made up his mind to lay off was
that he considered a rest necessary for
the benefit of his health and desired
chance to enjoy some of the money he
has made in base ball He says the
only thing that has induced him to change
his mind is the bad position the Pittsburg
team would be in without his services.
