Dempsey Again on Ropes as Former Wife Speaks

Jack Forced to Build Up Another Denial to Answer Divorcee's Slacker Charge. MAXINE IS HER NAME According: to tlie best information obtainable today .lack Dempsey married Maxine Cates at Fatmingham, Ftah. in May, 1.917, a month alier the l nited States had declared war on Germany. The later champion divorced his wife in February, 1919, three months after the dose of the war.) CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Charges by Mrs. Maxine Dempsey, divorced wife of Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion pugilist, that her husband was not only h “slacker” in the war, hut that he was also not a bona fide worker in the shipyards, were answered today by Jack Kearns, the champion's manager. The International News Service received the following telegram from Kearns at Los Angeles: “It is quite probable that the writing of the letter by the former wife of Jack Dempsey, from whom he secured a divorce nearly a year ago, was at the behest of persons who are involved in the gigantic and malicious effort to defame the clean reputation of Dempsey and to ruin him in the minds of the public WIFE SIGNED DRAFT DOCUMENT. “The construction of her letter, the very wording of it, makes It very plain to those who know her that she has had some one, perhaps with a legal education, dictate the writing of it. The charges are too absurd to merit any detailed answer beyond this fact. When Jack Dempsey filled out a questionnaire naming a wife among his dependents it was necessary for his wife to sign it to make the exemption claim official. “Jack mailed the document to his wife from Chicago. She was living at that time with Jack's parents In Salt Lake and was supported by him. Without threat of any sort or without any Influencing she signed the document stating that Jack was supporting her. “If Mrs. Dempsey has facts which would convict Jack of being a draft dodger, then in fairness to the public she should present them, and if she hasn’t and if the facts that 1 have stated are the true ones, theu iu Justice to Jack she should retract them and tell the public who and what really influenced her to make charges which she never uttered before, although she had opportunity when Jack filed his divorce suit, to which she never made any defense in court.” CHAMP APPEALS TO BOXING BOARD NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing champion, has asked that an official investigation be made of the Informal charges that he was a draft dodger during the war. The request was made in a telegram received by Maj. A. J. Drexel Biddle, president of the army, navy and civilian board. Dempsey points out in his telegram that the A. N. C. B. B. issued a professional boxers’ license to him just prior to the match with Jess Willard, which certified that he had a clean and honorable record as i professional boxor and that he had the full sanction and approval of the board. Dempsey received license No. 2, the first card going to Willard, who then was champion. The present champion states that he followed the Instructions given him by the representatives of the government in draft matters and denies that he was a draft dodger. lie offers to present himself be ore the board er to submit a complete statement of his war activities in affidavit form and agrees to abide by the final decision of the board. The A. N. C. B. B. has announced that Dempsey's request will be referred to tlie arbitration committee of that organization for decision 41s to whether such inquiry should he undertaken. It is stated informally that the Investigation will be made by a special committee, including s-verai prominent officers of the American legion if they will consent to serve. Dempsey's telegram follows: “Last June you gave me a boxer's lieense. No. 2, wli.cn <•. ; face of it that I had a clean ami honorable record as a boxer. “Since that time a few posts of the American legion, who are not in any way familiar with my record, adopt, 1 resolutions condemning me ns a 'draft dodger in the late war, an indictment wholly unsupported by facts. “What I have done has been to follow implicity tlie instructions as given 1o me by the representatives of the government. The slogan at that time was ‘follow the government's instructions.’ That applied to me as to every other citizen in the United States, and I was carrying out their orders and abiding by their instructions, and I was not a 'draft dodger.' as these few legion posts have declared and base their decision on false evidence through persons who nr- trying to put same over to further their own selfish interests. Am I to be eruritier] nnd condemned because I followed the orders as given to me by the government? “This is an appeal to you as a body of thorough and honorable sportsmen whose aim has always bee,, justice and fairness and a square deal for all, to investigate this matter thoroughly, and if I am innocent of the charge of 'draft dodger,’ clear me publicly before the world, and if I am guilty, condemn me. I will either present myself personally for examination by you; board, nr submit to you upon request a complete statement of my activities during' the war in affidavit form, and 1 agree to abide by your final decision in the matter, as to be misjudged without a chance to prove my innocence is cruel, ands feel that jour board will at. least see tliut justice will i> - done to me." CHICAGO LEGION

HAS HIM “ POSTED ” ' .Tan. 23.--(.'hicngo members of the American legion joined today in t.he offensive against Jack Demrsev heavyweight boxing champion. Woodlatvii post resolved that "Dompsev did not plav the part such a man should have played in the war.” and called on all legionnaires to oppose Dempsey's participation in an international prize fight or in movie shows. Messages received here today from Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s manager, upheld the fighter's war record. They maintain Jack was right in obtaining draft exemption and naming his wife as a dependent. The wife has been divorced. Fish Test Case Draws Interest of Sportsmen If game fish are removed from Indiana streams and lakes and sold as part of a dinner in a public eating house, does this act constitute a violation of the Indiana fish and game laws? George N. Mannfold, superintendent of fisheries and game of the state conservn tion department, contends it does, and sportsmen throughout the state arcwatching with interest the case of the state vs. Ora Rockwell of Rochester, so charged, and who Is soon to be tried in the Fulton circuit court. Rockwell and three others, Oren Karm, Frank Moss and Charles Talbot, were arrested several weeks ago by game wardens after they purchased game fish alleged to have been taken from Lake Manitau and which were served with a dinner at a restaurant operated by Rockwell.

A. tourney to be staged In March. Thb New Bethel team is also working hard to get in condition for the Marion county event here and 1 the followers of that combination feel that they will throw quite a surprise when they open up their bag of tricks. Interest in the event is growing by leaps and bounds and the county tourney plan has met with approval on all sides. Many of the teams from the smaller citic--in Marion county lack gymnasiums and it is hard for them to make any kinjl of a showing in big games, despite the fact that their men are sometimes much stronger. The county tourney, coming Just a short time before the state meet, is expected to do wonders toward getting the teams in condition for their big task. The officers of tlie association will meet tomorrow afternoon to draw up the schedule of play.

Yankee Hopes in Next Olympic Rerts on Track, in Water and in Ring NKM 1 ORK, Jan. 23. America's hope tor victory in the Olympic games rests on the shoulders of the Yankees that wear Uncle Sam’s colors on the cinder path, in the water and in the roped square. This is the opinion of Samuel J. Dallas, president of the A. A. U, who is now trying to mould American prospects I into some definite shape. Anxious to get a start before summer, Dallas urged prominence for dash and distance running, swimming and

boxing on the cards of winter meets. Interested especially in the development of a marathon runner, lie was largely Instrumental in having the Rrooklyu Sea Gate marathon revived for Feb. 23, after a lapse of five years. The tentative 'schedule being planned provides for fourteen intersectional meets in the middle of .Tune, 'a date decided upon to attract college athletes to com"otition before they have broken training. The Pennsylvania relay carnival, the middle states title meet, the intercollegiate conference meet, the western conference games and the Pacific intercollegiate meet coming about that time will give the trainers a wealth of candidates to look over. Sectional trials will be held and the winners will be brought to the finals which are to be held prdbahly on Franklin field, Philadelphia, late in July. The Yankee team will be picked and put in the hands of a corps of trainers for the finul step. T'ntil the Belgian Olympic committee decides about the addition of the decathlon to the list of events, attention will be devoted to the pentathlon. .1, Howard Berry, the former all-around star of Pennsylvania, and Bob Legendre, the Georgetown star who won the 1919 title, are both being trained to take Jim Thorpe's place in this event. Swimming also is demanding attention, especially since it was decided to make girls eligible for the team. The film! trials for the team are to be held late In June. The place has not been selected.

To Give Ruth Every Chance to Top His Great Homer Record Manager Huggins Says Big Fellow Can Use Bat as He Chooses. TO PLAY RIGHT FIELD NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Babe Ruth Mil play right field for the 7 Yankees next season. Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Americans, who is here to complete spring training plans and line up players who have not yet been signed, made tliis announcement today. "Ruth expects to have a great season with the Yankees." said llugglns. "He will be placed in the outfield and I think right field is the place for him. We could play Ruth in left field, but I do not favor the sun field for Ruth, ns playing there might affect -his batting eye. “The homerun champion will be given every chance to break his own world's record. “There has been mueh talk about the probability of Ruth's being asked to choke his bat next season In order to get more hits rather than distance.” Huggins remarked. “To this 1 can say frankly that Ruth is one player who will l>o permitted to take his swing. When a player can average long hits as often as Ruth he is entitled to take his cut at the ball at all times. “No. Ruth hasn’t been signed to a contract," replied Huggins in answer to the question. "He has agreed to terms, however, and I expect him to arrive in TS'cw York just before we leave for Jacksonville, when he will sign up.” Baseball Bits] LEARY LOSES OUT AT MEMPHIS MEMPHIS, Term., Jan. 23.—President Tom Watkins of the Memphis club sprang a surprise oil Memphis fans when he announced that he bah dsigned the veteran John J.

MeCloskey made an unannounced trip to this city from his home 1n Louisville last week, after which it was giveu out that he had signed a contract. The public has been led to believe that negotiations had been practically completed with Indianapolis by which Jack Leary was to come here a manager and first baseman, it Is stil! possible he may be procured to play first base under MeCloskey. Charley Wagner also had been mentioned us a candidate for the mnnageriol berth. Me Cioskey is no stranger to older Southern association fans, ns he was a manager in (hit league a number of years ago. Later he managed th£ St. Louis Cardinals, was in tlie American association for several years and also in the west. Last year he started the season as manager or Beaumont in the Texas league, but resigned in mid-season. ROME.

CUE GOSSIP

COLLEGE FIVES OF STATE FACE BIG CONTESTS Purdue and Indiana Clash, Dentals Play Franklin and Butler Battles Earlham. OTHER BASKET GOSSIP By HEZE CLARK. Two Indiauapolls college basketball teams will be In action tonight. The Dentals play Franklin at Franklin and Butler rnSds Earlham at. Richmond. Two other important games are on the list tonight in which Iloesier teams will play. Purdue plays Indiana at Bloomington and Notre Dame meets the Western State Normal five at Kalamazoo. Mich. This is the first time that Butler has met Coach Mowe's Quakers. However, Rose Poly defeated Butler by one point, and a few nights later the Engineers defeated Earlham In an overtime game at Richmond. This comparative score route would indicate that the Butler-Barlham game tonight would be the hardest fought kind of a battle. BASKET DOPE PROVES ERRATIC. While the comparative score route may tell some things, still there is one thing sure and that is comparative score dope doesn't always hold true- What better example of this could be bad than the three-way comparison of Valparaiso, St. Joseph and Dental college basketball teams? Valparaiso university defeated the denta! college quint in a game played in Indianapolis before Christmas by a score of 33 to 6. Tbo *ip-state team seined unable to miss tfie goal, no matter where the players shot from. The Dentals could not shoot the ball into the basket if they were standing under the cage and had open shots. Never did the Tooth Pullers put up a poorer exhibition of basketball, still, the Dentals pulled together and snow*"’ real team play and defeated St. Joseph college, 32 to 26, last Saturday. The critics contented themselves by saying that Valparaiso was exceptionally strong, and that St. Joseph was a team many points weaker than Valparaiso, and about (he Dental standard. However. the critics have something to explain today, for St. Joseph won a cleancut victory over the Valparaiso quintet by a 22 to-18 score at Coilegeville last night. It would appear from that comparative score dope, considering the time in the season that the games were played, that the Dentals have made great improvement and that the Tooth Pullers will give Coach Thurber's Baptists a real game tonight. EM-ROES SPILL WAYNE HOPES. Franklin has defeated Hanover and Central Normal by topheavy scores. Franklin lost to DePauw at Greencastle. However, DePauw appears to have a team that will have a chance to win the state college championship. DePauw won from the Kin-Roes by an eleven-point margin, it Is evident that the Em-Roes are still the independent champions of Indiana and are likely to remain so during the present season. The Indianapolis sporting goods team the Knights of Columbus five at Ft. Wayne last night and won by a 22 to 16 score. Tlie Ft. Wayne quintet had Stouebrcaker and Bacon, but the clever team play of the Indianapolis veterans was more than the all star professional aggregation at Ft. Wayne could solve. Two games in two days with two of the strongest kinds of teams is what Coach Lambert’s Boilermakers have on their card. Purdue meets Indiana tonight at Bloomington, and then meets DePauw at Greencastle Saturday night. Purdue has up until now been the hardluck quintet of the Big Ten. Purdue has lost to Illinois and Ohio State by a margin of one field goal. Indiana has defeated Ohio State and Michigan university. which would Indicate that the Bloomington team Is playing f ast basketball If Purdue defeats Indiana tonight its hard luck in other games will be forgiven and forgotten by the Purdue students. Bnt If Indiana wins from the Boilermakers tonight the Bmomington five will loom up as a posl K !c conference championship contender. Tndlnna ha? been going far better In its college games than would have been expected from the poor showing that team made In Us barnstorming trip before the first of the year. However, Phillips Is at guard for

Chicago Golfers Boost for Daylight Saving CHICAGO. Jan. 23.—Local golfers are practically unanimous in favor of the passage of the daylight saving ordinance, recently proposed in the city council. The experiment, tried during the war, proved of vast benefit, those players not enlisted in the service being able to devote a full day’s time to business and to follow with a full round of golf.

Indiana and his presence makes all the difference In the world In that team. DEPAUW GOING AT STIFF PACE. The Purdue team will meet a real team when it stops off at Greencastle on the way back to Lafayette Saturday. Purdue will find DePauw one of the fastest combinations it will meet this year. The basketball fans of the state are wondering, however, if DePauw will lie able to win from Pnrdue by as large a margin as Wabash defeated Purdue. Notre Dame has a tw-o-day trip aud tonight meets the Western State Normal five at Kalamazoo. Notre Dame lost to that team by one point a few days ago.

Technical All Set for Four-Cornered Brownsburg Tourney Local Five Big Favorite to Cop Honors in Special Meet Tomorrow. The Technical High school basketball squad took Its final workout yesterday for the four-cornered tourney at Brownsburg Saturday, and the entire squad turned out in perfect condition. Hawkins, the big Green and White baekguard, was in suit for the first time this week, and it Is almost a certainty that he will be at his old position when the east side aggregation clashes with Ben Davis in its first appearance in the tourney. This four-cornered affair, in which Brownsburg. TborntoWn, Technical and Ben Davis, will compete, is attracting an unusual amount of iuterest among local followers. A large section of seats has been reserved for the Tech delegation and the biggest crowd that ever followed the local five out of town is expected" to make the trip. The Tech team, as far as dope and comparative scores are concerned, is a big favorite to annex the /r ?st honors, although both Brownsburg ad Ben Davis are capable of furnishing stiff opposition. Thorntown, on account of the way it was mauled by Tech last Saturday, is not conceded to have a chance of carrying off the bacon, but the little Boone county quintet has a reputation of being the most consistent dope spiller in the state and will bear watching in its game with Brownsburg. The tourney is scheduled to get under way at 2 o’clock tomorrow, when Brownsburg and Thorntown take the floor. Immediately following this contest Tech and Ben Davis will appear, this game being called at 3 o’clock. The winners of these two afternoon games will then meet at 8 o’clock In the evening to decide the. championship. A curtain raiser between the BeD Davis girls’ team and Brownsburg girls’ team will prelude the final contest. Indiana “U” Wrestlers Defeat Canoe Athletes Indiana university wrestlers made a clean sweep in their matches with the Indianapolis Canoe club grapplers hero last night. The collegians were in much better shape than the independent athletes and thetr advantage in training counted heavily in their favor. However, the Canoe club representatives offered some game battles and no doubt will come through in good style, with more coaching and training. Wanamaker put up the best bout for the locals. Many mat fans attended the program, which had as additional features Jazz music and refreshments.
