By CLoughlln. Minneapolis baseball magnates were notified yesterday afternoon of a meeting to be held In Chicago! at the Grand Pacific hotel tomorrow morning to investigate the Owens charges. L. A. Lydlard, secretary of the Minneapolis club, will probably attend the meeting- -with Attorney M. U. Boutelle and Vice President Westlake. Owens has not been suspended by President O'Brien, but has himself asked for an Investi gation. He declares that he will be able to prove his innocence, and that be will have little trouble in demonstrating that he has dons noth ing out of the way. For the good of baseball It la to be hoped that Owens can clear himself convincingly. The three affidavits of the gamblers, who declare they were "in" with him on gambling deals, sound convincing and are given with a wealth of detail. If Owens Is innooent he can doubt less produce affidavits jnst as oonvinclngr. If Owens has been traduced by these gamblers and can show that the Minneapolis baseball club and himself have been made the victims of false'statements, Minneapolis should be made too hot to hold them. President O'Brien and' the Havenor mouth pieces or Milwaukee, have gone far afield in* this case and have attributed the whole affair to President M. J. Kelley ot the local club. In fact Kelley had nothing to do with the Owens matter. He has been called a "trouble-maker*' for past rows when he was merely fighting back at a series of attacks upon himself. The charge that the Minneapolis dnb has sought trouble In preferring these charges, the Owens case, Is not based upon the facts. The rumors of gambling on the Columbus series were current here, and reached the ears of' Lydlard. Such stories, if true or not, are deeply In jurious to the standing of a sport, and Lydlard set about to run them down, not with the idea of "getting Owens," as is held out, but tofeated clear up the stories. When the three affidavit makers were uncovered and they told their stories, Lydlard had them tell them In affidavit form and asked for an Investigation. His action had nothing to do with the factional fight in the league. Even If Owens should be found guilty It would not change the political com plexion of the association In the slightest de gree. Tomorrow's meeting should be a thoro one. The directors of the league should not go half way in anything, but should sift the affair clear to the bottom. If Owens Is guilty he should be so declared and barred forever .from the ball field. If he is innocent his Innocence should be established in a manner that will leave no room for doubt. The Minneapolis magnates and the Minneapolis followers of baseball are fair, and would not stoop to anything like a deliberate conspiracy to blast a man's reputation. If Owens Is innocent then he, as well as the local club, has been the victim of a tissue of lies made for no apparent purpose save to vent a private spite. Milwaukee papers have hinted that Minne apolis was attempting to Involve President O Brien In the affair. This is untrue so far as the writer knows. O'Brien did not treat the" Minneapolis club fairly his handlingg of the alleged assaulot matter, but no one in Minne apolis believes or entertains the thought that .5! mWm* Party Leaves Tonight.
