ANONYMOUS LETTER .
TAKEN AS PROOF

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 3.-President O'Brien
returned from Chicago yesterday morning in
tent on Immediately starting a thoro investi-
cation into the source of the charges made by
Secretary. Lydiard Of the Minneapolis club
against Umpire Clarence Owens.
O'Brien says that the evidence presented at
the meeting in the windy city Wednesday
cleared Owens from every faint Of suspicion
and that he will follow the instructions of
the board of directors in these matters of in
vestigation to letter. What his first step
will be he would not divulge but everyt thing
at present points to investigation Of Sec
rotary Lydiard and the methods by which he
obtained the affdavits as the first move in the
search.
Another piece of evidence in Owens favor
was received by OBrien yesterday from. an,
other of the alleged signers of the affidavit.
The letter stated that the signer, who refused to
give his name, had been talked into affdatng
his name to the paper while under the influence
of liquor. He also received one of the famous
$40 bills for his trouble. The signer added
that his conscience troubled him so much that
he had decided to lay bare his tale. A post
script said that he had not a professional
ball game in ten years and that he had never
seen Owens. :,s II.
The death of the gambler Dahlquist who
| signed his name Dick Smith in one of the
| afhdavits, has created little comment here
An investigation revealed the fact that Dahl
quist was at time an employee at the
Plankinton house and at one time held the
position Of key clerk. Finally the gambling bee
| took hold of him and he drifted to Minneap
oils going lower and lower all the time until ht
died in a sanatorium from the effects of ex
| cessve drink. :.-

Games Today in the North
western Tourney.

Rain for the second time interfered with the
northwestern tennis tournament at Deephaven
and yesterdays matches were few where a
large number had been scheduled. The rain of
the previous evening made it impossible to
conduct any matches in the morning. Four
matches of singles were played in the afternoon
and then it rsined again, spelling the sport for
the remainder of the day.
The most interesting match of the day was
that between Ward Burton and Robert Storms.
Burton took the first set easily by score Of
go and 1t looked If the local champion
would win the match. Storms, however, took q
decided brace and surprised the spectators by
winning the next set by Ga. The two were
about to play the deciding set when the rain
interfered.
Nat Emerson, who was defeated by Kreigh
Collins for the western championship at Chicago,
arrived yesterday and played a match with
NJ Jones. The local player was no match
for his opponent and the latter won by go, go.
The two other matches Of the day were Will

when Oyer made clean single.
Cassus Cadwallader was the slab for the
millers and very much out of condition.
Flaherty, who twirled for the locals, was in
rare form and had his opponents at his mercy
nearly all Of the time.
In the first inning the Columbus team
cinched the game by making three runs. Hinch-

The next four men up hit safely and the re-
suit the total advanced to seven
runs. In each of the next four innings

Minneapolis bunch had succeeded in making
their two.
