held him in all his doings.
The greatest trouble occurred In Minneapolis,
where an attempt was made by the spectators
ut the game to mob Umpire Owens No damage
was done to the official, but there might have
been serious trouble had not Manager Mike
Kelley secured sufficient number OF police
to protect the official.
There have been 30 many different reports
about the affair at Minneapolis that it is
really hard to pass Judgment without being
on the ground and getting the facts from first
hands. The umpire, in his report by telephone
to President O'Brien, stated that the Minne-
apolis players had tried to tncite the spec
tators against him and that Freeman and 0yler
had assaulted him. From other sources 1t is
learned that the two players mentioned did not
assault the umpire, but had made the same
blutf that almost every ballplayer makes after
veracity between people who attended the
game and the umpires. II Freeman and Oyler
did assault Owens then they deserved to be
punished and the fine of $50 each and sus-
part of President O. Brien. Fox, Ford and Davis
were each fined $50 for alleged lncltlng OF
spectators against the umpire.
The punishment In their cases was rather
severe unless 1t could be absolutely proven
that they had really done as charged. From
all accounts, both ut Minneapolis and st. Paul,
Manager Kelley had tried to avert trouble,
but he made q mistake the following day
when he got out an injunction against the
association representative-the umpire-fronl
carrying out his instructions to keep Freeman
and Oyler out Of the game. Manager Kelley
might have known that he was violating the
very rules he had helped to adopt and for
that reason he should have kept out Of the
courts In that case. -N .-.3s-.
However, Manager Kelley was doubt in an
| excited state of mind at the thought of having
his team crippled, especially when they were
| right in the heat Of battle for the pennant,
| and he did things then that he would not
have thought Of after giving due consideration
to all points at issue. President O'Brien had
been accused of being partial to the Havenor
Tebeau faction in this case, and probably from

have to do so to retain his self-re-
spect. He will doubtless have to order
the playing over Of two games between
Minneapolis and Columbus. He will
have to remit the 800 fine imposed
upon M. j. Kelley-sa procedure that
was totally unwarrsnted.
The loss Of service Of Freeman and
Oyler in an important week, while two
other players were out Of the game,
can never be made up. The fines, how
ever, can be RENTED if the Owens case
turns out as the affidavits would seem
to indicate. O 'Brien can make frank

Harvard Head Coach,

The general public has always taken a great
interest in the football rules as they have been
promulgated from season to season, but it is
probably safe to say that not for years has 1t
shown such Keen interest In them as at pres
emit This unusual interest Is due, in some
measure, to the scathing, academic criticism
to which football has been subjected, but more
especially to the numerous revisions and limo
vations which have been made in the playing
rules
These revisions and innova tons. it will be re-
membered are Of two kinds-those dealing with
the ethical side of the game and those affecting
its technique. The former were framed with
view to putting an end to brutality and unfair
play, while the latter were adopted with the
idea of lessening mass plays and Of opening up
the game. Just how far these changes will &c
in efectng the desired reform what sort OF
game this legislation as a whole viii produce is
of necessity largely conjectural. but bearing In
mind the lessons and experiences Of the past
and certain underlying principles which have
always Influenced the development Of the game,
some very definite conclusions can be reached.

- ~ 1NNEAPOL1S furnished an
k~H other baseball sensation last
- - week when L. A. Lydlard,
secretary of the local club, filed formal
charges of gambling upon games in
which he was to act as umpire, by Arbi-
traitor Owens.
Owens was twice menaced by Min
neapois mob on July Is and 10th. He
was sent here against strong protests
by the local management and of those
who knew that his conduct would pre-
cipitate trouble.
Friday three men accustomed to take
chances upon professional sport-gamb-
lers, in plain English-made affidavits
relating to Owens alleged transgres-
sions and the affidavits were forwarded
to President August Herman of the ma
tional commission. This act calls for
speedy action, as it is menace to the
present popularity Of baseball as a
sport.
If Owens is guilty he should be driv
en- from baseball and never allowed to
enter another field in the capacity of
umpire. On the face of the evidence
it looks like an open and-shut case and
as conclusive as could be made. 1t has
been urged that the evidence is that of
"gamblers, but no other evidence
could be adduced. It is the only evil
dence available. Owens did not place
any money for betting purposes with
President Cyrus Northrop of the Uni.
versity, or with Bishop EdsaI They
do not gamble upon ball games. Owens,
in placing his money, if he did do so

and they say that they worked for him
as for any other man-25 per cent of
the winnings for their services.
The affair is a nasty one but requires
thoro Investigation. The evidence
was not secured thru any partizan
frameup but was taken in a legal man
ner by men of unquestioned integrity
and standing in the city. The rights
of all parties concerned were safe
guarded in every way. It makes an
ugly blot upon the American association
record and one that must be cleaned
VI thoroly.
In presenting the charges the local
magnate has no thought Of the fractional
difference in the league. That row
sinks into insignifcance as compared
with the possibility that umpires are
unfair and so lost to a sense of sports
manship to say nothing of decency as
to gamble upon the result of games il
which their word is law. Referees Of
prize fights have been accused of sucf
work but the prizering is lower in thu
scale than any other form of sport. The
popularity and stability Of baseball
rests with the honesty of the umpires
There should be no question as to thei
fairness, competency or conduct on tn
field.
The aftermath Of the trouble owe
Owens presents a field Of interestin,
conjecture. Five players were fined
heavily and unjust1y, upon rePor
made by this man. Two were sus
pended for week at time when the
were in the pennant race and coming
strong. President O'Brien took thi
mans word against that of the protest
ing voices raised in Minneapolis.
He did not even come here to inves

are made to stick it will be up to Presi
dent O'Brien to make amends and ad
nit that he was wrong in his handlin!
