HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ENTERS LEGAL RING TOMORROW TO BATTLE SLACKER CHARGE

JACK DEMPSEY FACES HARDEST FIGHT OF LIFE Champion on Trial Tuesday on Charge of Dodging Army Draft. EVIDENCE IS TANGLED SAX FRANCISCO, June 7. Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing champion, goes to trial on Tuesday on the charge of being a draft dodger. The legal battle which will ensue promises to bristle with thrills and sensations —a fight involving situations without parallel in the annals of law. For the Dempsey case, In its entirety, includes so many unique, complex and startling twists that even the shrewdest lawyers of the Pacific coast insist they are incompetent to make a prediction as to the outcome. The trial may be dragged along for weeks by the introduction of more than 100 witnesses; it might conclude within an hour after the jury is in its box. For legal minds, long concentrated on the case, admit that "anything is possible.” MAXINE’S STORY MAY DECIDE. The fate of the heavyweight champion of the world rests largely upon the story that will be told by Maxine Cates Dempsey. the wife he divorced more than a year ago. But the remarkable feature is that Maxine Cates Dempsey never was. in the truly legal sense, the wife of Jack Dempsey. For Mrs. Dempsey, after frankly and publicly admitting that she was a woman of the underworld before she married Dempsey and afterward, makes this smashing statement. ”1 entered into a marriage contract with Jack Dempsey at a time when I knew full well that the decree of divorce which I had secured from my other husband was not effective.” She claims that Dempsey knew it w-as a bigamous marriage. Dempsey denies it, adding: “When I tnet Maxine early in 1916 she posed first as a woman who had never been married. Later she admitted that she had been divorced, but told me that decree had been effective about two earlier.” HER STORY MAY UK Rl I.EI) Cl 1. One of the many legal points at issue in the case, therefore, is. "it Maxine Cates Dempsey was never the legal wife of Jack Dempsey was she entitled to support and will her 6tory be permissible as evidence Certainly the full atory of Maxine Cates Dempsey, dealing with her married life to the pugilistic champion, wll; not be permitted in court if the defense succeeds in- it 6 plans. For it is its contention that the only part of her tale that is televant testimony is on this point: “Did Dempsey amply support her. thus making her a dependent as he claimed in his draft questionnaire- or didn't he?” The defense claims that the major portion of Maxine’s recital, already chronicled in the newspapers, has nothing to do with the case; that it is a plaint that belongs only to a divorce court, and it points out that Maxine Cites Dempsey made absolutely no effort to tell her story when Dempsey sued her for divorce, charging infidelity. She entered no defense to this suit and did not appear in court. SAYS JACK DID NOT SUPPORT HER. Maxine Cates Dempsey's story is to the effect that Dempsey, when filling out bis questionnaire, named her as a dependent, although prior to that time he did not support her—nor did he amply provide for her afterward. Her charge covers the years of 1917 and 1918. Dempsey, further along in his questionnaire, also named his mother, sister, father and an invalid brother also as among his dependents. Tfce defense hopes to prove conclusive ly by their testimony that through 1917 and ISIS Dempsey did support his blood dependlht*. The Dempsey case on Tuesday will be a federal jury trial before Justice Dooling. The government will be represented in court. by Col. C. W. Thomas Jr., asirstant to the United States district attorney.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1920.

Illinois Thinlies Go Big to Capture Conference Laurels ANN ARBOR. Mich., June 7.—The thinly clad athletes from the University of Illinois scored in eleven out of sixteen events for a total of 40 points to win the western conference honors on Ferry field Saturday afternoon. Michigan finished second with 30 markers, and Wisconsin was third with 26%. Hoffman of Michigan registered the only record-breaking marl: when he heaved the Javelin 172 feet 10 inches. Scholz of Missouri equalled the 220 mark when he covered the distinct* in :213-15, and the Illinois relay team equalled the one-milt* record of 3:214-5. The quarter, half and two-mile races were the thrillers of the meet. Furnace of Pur ue won the two mile event after a spirited battle on the stretch with Watson of the Kansas Aggies. Eddie Meehan of Notre Dame ran a brilliant race to win the half milo clash in 1:54. When the event started the sky was clerr and weather conditions ideal, but half an hour later a thunderstorm swept the field and drenched the thousands of spectators, who hung on until the last moment. Three of the events were staged In the rain. { A. B. C.’s in Triple Play OMAHA. June 7.-—After losing the first game to the Armour team her.* Sat urday, the A. B.

CLOUTING BALL EVEN FAILS TO HELP INDIANS Come Out of Hitting Slump Only to See Defense Crack in Pinches. BREWERS ANNEX TWO The Indians* just can't get well all over. As soon as they recover from one ailment they hump right, into another epidemic and down they go again on their backs for a further siege. First it was pitching sickness, and when Doe Hendricks fixed ’em up on that the hitless fever attacked them for a stretch of days. Then Doc Hendricks shot in another bracer and brought the athletes around again only to see them flop over from an attack of fielding jimmies. And the fielding Jimmies sure got 'em In the Sunday double-header with the disorganized Brewers, resulting in two victories for the former foam blowers, 3 to 2 and 6 to 5. <* Louie Woif had the most severe case and it was Louie who tossed the twin bill into the discard. Louie was trying so fill Ollie O’Mara's shoes at third base, anjl if Ollie was ever missed it was Sunday. Therefore, the loss of she double-header can be charged against she Oil City outlaw organization, which induced O'Mnra to break his contract, baseball honor and baseball name in Indianapolis. Cuvet hurled high-class ball in the opener Sunday and also swung n heavy bat, but the veteran southpaw saw the game slip away from him when Wolf hurled the ball far over Oovington's head In tile ninth and permitted Butler to romp all the way from first base to the home plate with the run that gave the Brewers the victory. In the second fracas the two teams

BAT DYNAMITE AND PITCHIN’

By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 7.—“Crashin' that oid apple wins ball games” is an axiom of Ding Bodle, the Italian baseball philosopher. "Hittin’ helps, .but pitchin’ puts the engine In the flivver,” says Nick Altrock. Far after the league of nations ceases to be the best debate food they’ll argue about. Ping’s and Nick's theories. Right now, however, Ping's theory is cashing in. Bat dynamite is keeping the leaders in the race tn both leagues. HITTING BRINGS VANKESS UP. Tremendous hitting has brought the New Y'ork Yanks up to a tie for first place and the same heavy work with the stick has kept the Cleveland Indians from giving way to the rush. Brooklyn s hitting and better pitching than most of the clubs are getting is keeping the Dodgers in the lead of the National league despite the infield that experts said, would never do.

tied up in a battle that was any one’s game and probably would have wound up in a Tribe victory had not Wolf allowed the Brewers a gift run in the fifth. Butler was on third at the time, with one out, when Gearln popped a foul back of third. Louie caught the ball and Butler was trapped off third when he bluffed too far off the bag. However, when Butler saw his predicament he dashed sos. the plate and reached there in safety when Wolf heaved n wild throw to Henline. As the game turned out that gift run put the Brewers under the wire and the Indians deeper in the A. A. cellar. In Saturday's game the Saints wound up their series here with a fourth straight win, 6 to 4, when Petty blew up in the eighth, four runs going over. Duncan pinch hit through Covington and put the Saints on their way to victory. Ordinarily Covington would have snapped up the bit and made a double play, but it takes more than ordinary stuff to beat the Saints.

Hitting alone is making it possible for the champion Reds to alternate regularly between first and seconh places. Pat’ Moran has only one dependable hurler, Walter Ruether, and he loses once in a while. The Cubs, depending almost entirely upon pitching, led the league at the start of last week, but Jim Vaughn went lame and they dropped to third place. DODGERS AND REDS ARE CONFIDENT. Brooklyn and Cincinnati are playing the only consistent ball in the National league. The Dodgers won six out of seven starts last week and the Reds won four out of fire. In the American league the Yanks were the sensation. They won six out of seven. The White Sox played the next best ball, with four victories out of seven games, which pushed them from fifth to third place. The Boston Red Sox cracked. They dropped from second to fourth place and are staying there only because the second division clubs are losing with them.

Olympic Bike Tryout CHICAGO, June 7. —In a spectacular finish Ernest Kockler of the Alverno -4A. Sunday won the midwest tryout for the American bicycle team in the Olympic games, riding the 106.7-mile course from Milwaukee to Chicago in 5:33.413-5. So far as known this is an American record for this distance. Kockler finished two yards ahead of Joseph Saelens of the Belgian-American Cycling club. Sixty-fire ridhrs started, but only twenty-one finished. Kockler and Saelens and four others will compete for places on the American team in the final elimination trials to be held in New York next month. GUN CLUB RESULTS. Wise and Hurst tied for first honors in the weekly shoot at the Indianapolis Gun club Saturday, each breaking nine-ty-seven targets out of a possible 100. 11. S. Lewis was second with 96 targets.
