By O'Loughltn.
The Minneapolis team owes its victory of
yesterday to the fcindnees of Prultt and Wheeler,
who insisted that Joe Sugden, the first base
man, was at least seven feet tall and threw
the ball accordingly, with the result that at one
time It went to the clubhouse and twice after
ward to the bleachers.
Prultt was the first offender, and this was in
the third inning after Lefty Davis received a
base on balls In an attempt to catch Lefty
leading off, the pitcher threw the ball to Sugden
and the latter was just able to touch it. It
went high and so far that before it was returned
to the diamond Davis was telling Kelley how
fast he had ran
The second Minneapolis run, which was the
winning one, came in the eighth inning. Fox
was first to hat In this Inning and he knocked
an easy one to Wheeler at third. After trying
to stand on the ball for a while, Wheeler at
last picked it np and the way he slammed It
at the first base bleachers should go down in
history. It went by Sugden so fast that he
was waiting for it when Fox reached second,
and by the time it was recovered "our cap
tain" was on third Shannon then came to bat
and he poked ball
ine
did Pox1
the sam manner as
and tthe the sam Wheelee man Th
latter by this time had pulled himself together,
and, Just to show the crowd that he could still
throw hard he pasted it to the first base
bleachers again, allow lng Fox to score. The
only run made bv the visitors was in their part
of the ninth when "Van Zandt, who was first
up, put the ball over the right field fence.
The game was interesting and many star
plays were pulled off In the eighth, with one
out on the saints' side. Geier made a double,
advancing Prultt, who was on first, to third.
The fans became shakv and more than one could
see another game credited to the St Paul team,
hut such was not the ease, as Sugden knocked
a fly to Davis in deep center and the latter,
making one of the prettiest throws ever seen
on Nicollet park, cut off Pruitt by three feet,
thus saving the game.
Oyler, Fox and Freeman got together like
clockwork and in the seventh and ninth Innings
pulled off neat double plays, the last one ending
the game
Cadwallader pitched a good game, but was not
at his best, as was Prultt, who allowed only
three hits, and one of these a mere scratch.
The saints connected for eight safe ones, but
the errorless work of the millers held the score
down. The score:

Faithful Youth Not Only Saves
Girl's Life, but Dives for
Her Purse.
Journal Speoial Service.
Portland, Me., July 28.William McDonough,
a Holy Cross collage freshman, aided by James
Dodwell, the star Holy Cross back, saved Miss
Ella Morris, a debutante of Evanston, 111., from
drowning Thursday night.
Miss Morris was walking down a flight of
stairs leading from a wharf to a raft, but she
forgot that the bottom Btep only reached high
water mark, and since the tide was only half in,
she literally walked off into the harbor.
The motorboat of McDonough and Dodwell
was just approaching the float. McDonough
heard the young woman's screams, and, tho it
was dark and he could only trace her by the
splash, lumped overboard with all his clothes
on. After a fierce struggle in the dark with
the terrified girl, who almost choked him, he
got her to the raft.
He waited until daylight, and then by diving
recovered a pooketbook containing a consider
able sum of money which she had lost.

FOE STOLES BASIS CHARGES AGAINST OWEN 'S
FOOTBALL TEAM fSO GO ABROAD
Declares an Unwillingness to Believe the
Statements of "Gamblers"Against
His Arbitrator.
JOE D. O'BRIEN,
Who Doubts.
By O'Loughlln.
Without attempting to pass upon the truth
of the charges against Clarence Owens, one is
constrained to wonder at' the attitude taken by
Joe D. O'Brien, president of the league. If he
was quoted correctly this morning, his state
ment is a "funny one."
O'Brien Is unquestionably right in supporting
his umpires, as such a policy is necessary In
baseball, but when such serious charges are filed
against an umpire it behooves the president of
a league to move quickly and subject his ap
pointee to just as rigid an investigation as he
would a player against whom similar charges
had been made.
O'Brien's talk that he would not listen to the
"evidence of gamblers"if he ever made such
a remarksounds childish. The evidence in such
a case could come from no other source. In
law such evidence would go as the best evi
dence availavle. In questions of gambling the
evidence must necessarily be given by gam
blers. If the case concerned the turf, it would
have to come from jockeys, bookmakers and
trainers. In fact, the truth about gambling can
only be ascertained from gamblers.
The three men who made the Davis affidavits
says they are willing to go before any tribunal
and make the same statements which they em
bodied in the affidavits furnished Lydiard. It
is hard to see just how the president of the
league can ignore such proof.
President Bryce is quoted today as saying
that he thinks a mistake has been made in re
ferring the matter to the national commission.
It may have been a mistake, but it was the
wish to get the matter before the highest court
in baseball and have it passed upon by parties
In no way concerned in the factional disputes
of the American association. If it was a mis
take it was one which can be rectified very
easily.
The charges against Owens are of too serious
a nature to be mixed with the past troubles
of the league. They have nothing to do with
it, and any attempt to make it appear that this
is the case is without justification. If Owens
has been gambling on games it Is to the best
interests of the league to find it out at once.
If he la innocent he will have little trouble
in proving it. It is a matter which Is of im
portance to every clubowner in the league, no
matter to what organisation or faction he may
belong.
For once Kelley is not the storm center. This
affair was handled by Mr. Lydiard alone and
without any assistance from the president
manager. Attempts to make it appear that
Kelley Is responsible will fall flat when the
Investigation starts.
Indianapolis, Ind July 28.President J. D.
O'Brien, in an interview last night on the
charges which have been formally prepared
against Umpire Owens by the secretary of the
Minneapolis ball club, that Owens had placed
money up on the result of the game between
the millers and the Colnmbus team, and was
but the tool of a gambling trust to help them
by contributing to the victory of the ehamps,
declared that he considered the whole business
pure rot.
Mr. O'Brien said the Minneapolis team had
been after Umpire Owens all season, and the
present attack is but a continuance of its at
tempt to get him thrown out of the association
employ.
"I will pay no attention to the charges until
they are laid before me formally. The Minne
apolis club will be forced to prove all its
charges, and I think this will be impossible."
Mr. O'Brien added further that he would

Journal Special Service.
New York, July 28.For the first time in
the history of athletics a team of football play
ers will be sent from this country to contest
abroad. They will be the members of the
famous Kerry Gaelic football team and will

picked teams of the Emerald Isle in 1907. For
this purpose Denis Buckley of this city, an
enthusiastic Kerry man, has contributed 81,000.
The Kerry men's team has been organised by
Captain Tom O'Connor and the captain of County
Kerry believes it is the best aggregation of
Gaelic football players in the world.

never consider the words of any aggregation of
gamblers as evidence. "Baseball has been the
greatest of all American sport, for the last
thlrty-flve years for the simple reason that the
element of gambling has been kept out of it,"
said the president of the American association,
"and that baneful element shall not enter it as
long as I can keep it out. I have perfect con
fidence in my umpires and will back them until
I am personally assured that they are not giving
fair and Just decisions."
Kansas City, Mo July 28.Umpire "Brick"
Owens, who has been charged with having bet
on the last series of games between Minneapolis
and Columbus which were played last week,
and who is now handling the indicator in the
present local series of games, denied very em
phatically last night that he had ever placed a
cent on the outcome of a baseball game. He
went so far as to say that he did not have
any money to waste betting on ball games.
Owens says that he does not know any gam
blers in Minneapolis or any clique of persons
who4e on ball games He says that the pres
ent charges preferred against him by the Min
neapolis Baseball association, thru Secretary
Lydiard, are lies of the worst sort. The pres
ent trouble, declares Owens, Is the outcome of
Mike Kelley's personal grievances. Owens has
had trouble with Kelley all season, and last
week's occurrence was the third time that he
and Kelley have ran amuck.
"Mike Kelley has had it in for me all season,
and I knew that the matter would come to a
head sooner or later," said Owens last nght.
"I am glad it has come so soon. Now that
Kelley has taken up this thing he will have to
go thru with it. I have a lawyer working on
the case of where I was accused of tipping off
the Toledo signals, and I think Kelley is mixed
up in this.
"I will work until I hear from O'Brien or
Herrmann, but I think the affidavits will be
proved false."

Columbus Man Believes Minneapolis
Management Has Made a Mistake.
Columbus,
ftsj* vi *_pdj- Ohio, Jul 2^-^.ldent X.
Bryce of the Colnmbus club, which is indi
rectly concerned in the latest American asso
ciation scandal, in which Umpire Owen is the
accused, last night wired President O'Brien
and asked him to call a meeting of the club
owners as soon as possible for the express
purpose of taking up the charges made by.
Secretary Lydiard of the Minneapolis club.
In making this request, Bryce is simply
notifying Lydiard and his associates that a
big mistake, according to his opinion, was
made in submitting the original testimony to
the national commission. He holds that the
American association club owners are capa
ble of handling in a satisfactory way this
case which concerns only the league and
which he claims has no bearing whatever on
organized baseball in general.
Bryce would not say how much weight the
deposition of the three Minneapolis men, whom
he understands to be gamblerB, would have
with" him* if""he gets"a "chance 'to pass Judg" I

Federal Authorities Undertake to Stop
Peddling of Liquor Among Graders.
SIOUX FALLS. S. D.The government has
declared war on persons along the Chamberlain
Black Hills extension of the Milwaukee who,
it appears, have taken out government licenses
to sell liquor in some of the new towns in
Lyman county, and then have engaged man to
Slstanceliquor
eddle to the railroad grading camps for
varying from ten to twenty miles
from the place where they have procured a
license to sell liquor.
The first man upon whom the heavy hand of
the government has fallen is "Tom" Bunbury,
who was fined 325 and costs, amounting in all
to $60. This sum was paid and Bunbury was
released from custody.
The licenses of course cover the sale of liquor
only in the places designated in the permits, and
the practice of sending peddlers out is a clear
violation of the federal statutes.,
Mclntyre Bros, of Milwaukee, who have the
contract for constructing the new railroad grade,
have been greatly annoyed by this practice of
the "bootleggers."

Entry of Chicago Freak Boats
Cuts Oul Detroit, Toledo
and Cleveland.
Journal Speoial Service.
Cleveland, July 28.Present indications are
that the race for the Llpton cup will be con
fined to three cities, Chicago, Toronto and Mil
waukee. Commodore Osburn and W. H. Quin
lan of the Colombia Yacht club of Chicago were
here yesterdav and returned home last night
somewhat discouraged.
The committee's action in allowing boat, with
double rudders to compete for the trophy caused
the withdrawal of the Detroit, Toledo and
Cleveland boats. Commodore Worthington agreed
to Allow the racing committee of the Yacht Rac
ing union to decide the matter, but he could
make no promise as to the other owner, of the
Cleveland yacht, as they are not in the city.
Chicago, July 28.The eighteen and twenty
-one-footers -will have their own way on Lake
Michigan tomorrow afternoon, a race being sched
uled by the Chicago Yacht club in the former
class for the Atkins cup series and by the
Columbia Yacht club In the latter class for
the Webb cup series.
Tho elghteen-footers will have practically the
first chance to try out the ability of the new
yacht, Seminole, as this is the first race in
which she has been entered.
The second of the-series for the Webb cup
will be sailed over the nine-mile course of the
Columbia Yacht club. Cherry Circle won the
last race, but, as the wind was light, yachts
men are not satisfied with this as a fair test
of the other new boats, Bill Poster and New
Illinois. JUDGES GALLED
THE RACE OFF
Streaky and Easy Winds Pre
vented a Race in Interlake
Contests.
By The Skipper.
The final race in -the interlake regatta at
Mlnnetonka, which was to decide the champion
ship for the Class A sloops, was postponed until
this afternoon because of the inability of the
boats to finish the course within the time limit
of two hours and a half.
The Cambria of White Bear was in the lead
of the Mlnnetonka by about sis minutes when
the race was called off.
The wind was blowing about three miles an
hour from a little south of southwest when the
boats started at 3 15. Cambria got the best
start, crossing the line thirty seconds ahead
of the syndicate boat. The first leg of the
course was to Crystal bay, and was a spinnaker
run, or rather walk. The Mlnnetonka picked
up ten seconds on the White Bear boat on this
walk. Shortly after the boats rounded the
buoy the wind began to fade away. A sephyr
came up which filled out the Cambria's sails,
but avoided the Mlnnetonka's cloth. The wind
shifted around to the northeast, but was yery
light. The boats took in their spinnakers and
began to beat up to windward like snails.
The Cambria rounded the Point Lookout mark
four minutes and forty-eight seconds ahead of
the syndicate boat. The Mlnnetonka gained
eighteen seconds on the spinnaker walk to St.
Louis Bay buoy. She gained seventeen more on
the lope up to Crystal bay on the second time
around. After that the wind began to get
fluky, the Cambria getting most of the flukes.
The Cambria had rounded Point Lookout buoy
and the Mlnnetonka was making for it when
the judges came within megaphone distance and
announced the race off.

VICTORIA R.'S JOGKEY
MUST EXPLAIN GONDUGT
Special to The Journal.
Brighton Beach Racetrack, July 28.One ot
the liveliest scandals of the year was precipi
tated yesterday when the hot favorite, Victoria
B., was left at the post in the third race. The
filly is owned by George Long, a western owner,
and she wa. ridden by Jockey Koerner. The
betting wa. "fishy" to say the least. She
opened a fonr-to-flve favorite, and the money
poured in on her in thousands. Despite the sub
stantial play, her odds receded steadily in the
betting, and it was noticeable that a certain
clique of bookmakers would take any amount
of money offered on Victoria B.
When the start came the filly appeared t*
break with the rest of the field, bat was imme
diately np and merely cantered the rest of
the way. The starter and his assistants report
ed that Koerner broke with the rest of the
field, bat that the bey puUed up at once. They
shouted for him to go on, but Koerner Ignored
their shouts.
The steward** have taken the matter under in
vestigation and will probe the race to the bot
tom. While no demonstration was made at the
time It is a sure thing that the jockey wlB so
baled before the stewards.
