cent on the outcome of 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
who bet on ball games He says that the pres
ent charges preferred against him by the Min
neapons Baseball association, thru Secretary
Lydiard lies of the worst sort. The pres
ent trouble, declares Owens, is the outcome of
Mike Kelleys personal grievances. Owens has
had trouble with Kelley all season, and last
weeks occurrence was the third time that he
and Kelley have run amuck.
mike Kelley has had it in for me all season
and knew that the matter would come to q

he understands to be gamblers, would have
with him If he gets chance to pass judg-

has made these charges and it will 60 hard

VICTORIA BIS JOCKEY
MUST EXPLAIN CONDUCT
Special to The Journal.

Brighton Beach Racetrack, July 2s.-one Of
the liveliest scandals OF the year was precipi-
tated yesterday when the hot fayorite, Victoria
B., was left at the post IN the third race. The
FLY is owned by George Long, western owner,
and she was ridden by Jockey Koerner. The
betting was ''tshy" to say the least. She
opened a four-to-lve favorite, and the money
poured in her In thousands. Despite the SUBJ
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 f1ly appeared to
break with the rest Of the field. but was imme-
diately up and merely cantered the rest OF
the way. The starter and his assistants report
ed that Koerner broke with the rest Of the
field, but that the boy pulled up at once. They
shouted for him to 60 on, but Koerner ignored
their shouts.
The Stewards have taken the matter under in
vestigation and will probe the race to the bot
tom. While NO demonstration was made at the
time Il is sure thing that the Jockey win be
hailed before the stewards.

The Minneapolis team owes it's victory Of
yesterday to the kindness of Pruttt and Wheeler
who insisted that Joe susden. the hrst base
man. 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.
Pruitt was the first offender, and this was In
the third inning after Lefty Davis received a
base ON balls. In attempt to catch Lefty
leading of. the pitcher threw the ball to Sugden
and the latter just able to touch 1t. II
went high and far that before it was returned
to the diamond Davis was telling Kelley how
fast he had
The second Minneapolis rum which the
winning one, came In the eighth inning. Fox
was first to bat in this inning and he knocked
an easy one to Wheeler at third. After trying
TO stand on the ball for while, Wheeler at
last picked it up and the way he slammed 1t
at the first base bleachers should go down in
history. It went by Sugden fast that he
was waiting for it when Fox reached second
and by the time it was recovered 'our cap
tain on third. Shannon then came to bat
and he poked the ball In the same manner as
did Fox and to the Same Wheeler man. The
latter by this time had pulled himself together
and just to show the crowd that he could still
throw hard he pasted 1t to the first base
bleachers again, allowing Fox to score. The
only run made by the visitors was in their part
Of the ninth. when Van Zandt, who was first
up put the ball over the right field fence

plays were pulled off. In the eighth with one

The fans became shaky and more than one could
see another game credited to the st. Paul team
but such was not the case, Sugden knocked
fly to Davis In deep center and the latter,
making one Of the prettest throws ever seen
on Nicollet park, cut off Pruftt by three feet
thus saving the game.
.oyler, Fox and Freeman got together like
clockwork and in the seventh and ninth innings
pulled OF neat double plays, the last one ending
the game.
Cadwallader pitched good game, but was not
at his BEST as was Pruitt, who allowed only
three hits, and Of these a mere scratch
