The old agreement between the majors and the minors was abrogated in November, 1918. after a very stormy session. The breach has been widen ing in the meantime, and open war fare was threatened till the factions decided to call a special session. "The majors cannot get aiong with out the minors and the minors can- not get along with the majors," said Kwing last night. "We simply must come to an agreement before the opening of the 1920 season. I be lieve that the problem will be solved, but not without a battle, and a long-drawn-out one, at that. "I believe that the majors eventu ally will be compelled to come to the minors, which are producing the tal ent and keeping the game on its feet. We are deserving of more rec ognition than we have received in the past. We must stand together in order to protect our rights."

Charges and counter charges In which during the past several weeks Jack Dcmpscy, champion heavyweight pugilist, has been the storm center today resulted in the l.iunching of an official investigation liy federal officials in San Francisco into the circumstances by which the tighter obtained exemption during the war. Simultaneously with this action a new development served seemingly to substantiate Dempsey's claim that he had made no effort to avoid the draft. This was announced by I. Ij. I'errone, who succeeded John S. Hogan as hairman of draft board No. 13, that te. had reclassified Dempsey from . lass 4A, in which he had been placed by Hogan, to class 2B. I'errone, a drug-storo proprietor, stated that Airs. Maxine Dempsey signed reclassi fication which placed l)empscy in a position to be called for duty at any time, as It placed the wife in the cate gory of being able to support her clf. Battle N.w 1,'p to C'ourfft. The San Francisco federal courts became the center of the battle over the "slacker" charges when K. M. Klanford, chief of the department of justice agents, filed a report touching on the case with Mrs. Annette A. Adams, United States attorney. This report, the contents of which were not revealed, was turned over by Mrs. Adams to Assistant United States Attorney C. W. Thomas, who. during the war, was a colonel on Gen eral Pershing's etaff. Thomas was formerly adjutant jfeneral of the California national guard, from which position he re signed to enter the fedjeral army serv ice, and before going overseas was ttationed at the' Presidio as morale officer. Colonel Thomas was in structed by Mrs. Adams to make a thorough inquiry into the charges of perjury in his draft questionnaire which Mrs. Maxine Dempsey has made (tgainst her former husband. Thomas Wanli Letters. Thomas, it was understood, will de mand that Mw. Dempsey turn over to the government the letters which j-he says she has in her possession corroborating her charge that she was induced by threats to sign the fight er's questionnaire as a dependent when, she alleges, she was not being pportcd by him. Unless Mrs. Dempsey voluntarily delivers the letters, a subpena will be issued for her appearance here and search warrants will be placed in the hands of government agents, it was stated. In the event that the investigation now being made warrants the action, the case will go before the federal grand jury, it was announced. Colonel Thomas said: "The charges against Dempsey, will be thoroughly sifted. If Dempsey is a slacker, we want to know it; if not, he should be exonerated." Mrs. Dempsey, who' mysteriously left Wells, Nev., last week, was re ported today to be in Ogden, Utah, registered at a hotel there under an other name. She is said to have de manded last night that the hotel management provide her with police protection, declaring that certain men were after letters in her possession. Ridley Make Statement. Charges by Mrs. Dempsey that her husband -was not employed in the shipyards were offset today by affi davits prepared by Ralph A. "Bud" Kidley, a boxer, now under manage ment of Fred Wilson, Dempsey's manager in 191.. In these affidavits Ridley stated that Dempsey was employed for at least two weeks after June 15, 1917, at the shipyards of the Seattle Con Ftruction company, now Skinner & Kddy. Dempsey left the yards when ho was called away by the death of his brother in an accfttent in Salt Lake City, according to Ridley.

He is not making any predictions on the out come, but admits that the Methodists will put up a good scrap.' Their de feat of the Oregon Aggies in one of the two games with that institution rates their five as formidable, and the Oregon tossers are not going Into the game overconfident in the least.

Coach Fenstermacher's Washington high school basketball team jumped into- the lead of the interscholastic league yesterday afternon by defeat ing the Hill Military academy five on the Washington floor by a 40-to- i j score. l ne cadets put up a game hut losing fight, the teamwork and passing or the Washington quintet ueing too much for them. The Colonials allowed the Cadets only five points during the first half, while Coach Fenstermacher's boys ran up is points. 1 he guarding of Haynes and Ed- lund for Washington in the first period proved to be a stumbling block in tne path of the Cadet forwards. Tom Pollard and H. Robinson each scored a field basket on long, shots tor tint in the first period, whii Pollard converted one foul. All the scoring in the first session for Wash ington was done by Irvine, Rageno- vitcn and Edlund. Although both teams were fisrht Ing from the start to the finish, few fouls had to be called by referee Harry T. Smith. The passing of the Washington team was first-class and the manner in which they worked the ball down the floor was up to championship standard. The Hill players were not in the best of con dition and Dr. Ernest Estes was forced to make several substitutions before the game was finished. Ed- lund, Washington forward was forced to leave the game in the second half, when he was injured by a collision with Irve Day, Hill guard. Irvine and Ragenovitch were the high point men for Washington, the former getting seven field baskets and the latter making seven baskets from the floor and converting three fouls. The work of Harold Rowley Washington center, was of the best, his accurate passing proving to be big help to the scoring of the Colonial forwards. Tom Pollard scored all of the Cadets' points with the exception of two, which were made by H. Robin son.

Chicago heavy weight, showed little last night except that he Is a good boxer, and lost the decision at the end of ten rounds of milling to Boy McCormick, light heavyweight . champion of England, in the main event of the Milwaukie boxing commission card at the Mil waukie arena. McCormick won by a mile, and only Roper's great stamina and ability to assimilate punishment carried him to the end. The fighting Irishman showed to the advantage in every round of the ten and beat Roper's head and body with a steady tattoo of punches from gong to gong. Roper landed with a straight left occasionally and once or twice with a stiff right uppercut, which was about the extent of the wares he dealt out. The Chicago boxer landed his best punch In the third round when he rushed out of his corner after the minute rest and caught McCormick with a ripping right uppercut just beside the latter's heart, which lifted Boy about a foot off of the floor. This terrific blow failed to even dent the British champion. Roper Shows Better. The eighth round was the best of the mill and found Roper doing his beet work. He also fought hard in the 10th canto, but was outclassed and waged a hopeless warfare. Roper's weight was announced by himself as 184 pounds while it is doubtful if Mc Cormick scaled 170 pounds. It looked as though McCormick would finish Roper several times when he landed flush on the Chi cagoan's chin with smashing rights and left hooks, but the captain never even flinched. McCormick had . him dazed in the eighth and missed putting over a left swing by Inches, which, if it had landed, might have sent the soldier to dreamland. The best fight of the night from every standpoint was the six-round special event between Lackey Morrow of Tacoma and Niel Zimmerman of Portland. Th-ese two promising-looR- ng young featherweights battled six torrid rounds to a draw decision, with Morrow giving Niel the toughest bout of his career. Morrow started off if he meant business and kept up the good work in every round but the fifth, when Zimmerman was entitled to the call. Matter Grow Lively. The first, second and sixth rounds found Morpow lacing Zimmerman from piuar to post, and it was one grand battle. The Tacoma boy Is one of the best-looking prospects that has fought here in many a moon and battled hi way into the hearts of the fistic fol lowers with his good work and will ingness to mix at all times. Harry Pelsinger of San Francisco and Earl Baird of Seattle fought a ten-round draw in the semi-windup. The fans "razzed" Pelsinger for hold ing at various times, but he evidently figured that unless he held on he was doomed, so the calls did not bother him. rinfrd Goes Well. Baird put up a wonderful fight and I strengthened his hold on the fans' popularity. The smiling Seattle featherweight is a real ringman and nearly had Pelsinger out in the Vinth round, the bell stopping the fusillade. Tommy Hayes of San Francisco and Mike Pete of Seattle boxed six rounds to a draw, while George Fiddler quit to Johnny Boscovitch in the third round in the curtain raiser. It was announced that Tommy Gib bons would meet Boy McCormick in the main event February 11 at the Milwaukie arena. Judge Martin W. Hawkins acted as timer, with Earl R. Goodwin -serving as announcer.

Auto races will be one of the pre dominating features of the various fairs of the northwest in 1020. ac cording to the expression of fair sec retaries attending the meeting of the North Pacific Fairs association in Portland Tuesday. The fact that Bill Rreitcnstcin of Great Falls, Mont., northwestern rep resentative for Ralph A. Hankinson. leading dirt track professional auto race promoter of the country, has igncd tentative contracts to promote he races at several fairs in the north west is evidence that professional sanctioned auto races will be held in the membership of the North Pacific airs association. Every fair secretary present at the meeting who had auto races scheduled n the programme In 1919 cited that ho largest gate receipts and crowds were the outcome of auto races at the a-irs. This fact was admitted by the horsemen present at the meeting of the North Pacific Fair association and a plea was made that auto races be held on the final days of the fair as a means of drawing additional revenue. Rjice-a Draw frond. The ability of auto races to draw crowds caused several fair secretaries emphatically to state they would have auto races both on the opening and closing days of their fairs this year. Several stated auto races would bo held on the final dan, while one man alter stated that he would open his fair with two days of auto races and close with horse races. Fred Merrill, manager of the Rose "ity speedway track, made the con tention that he conducted the fastest mile track for autos in the northwest and intimated he would co-operate to bring about some high-class racing for the last two days of his proposed speed events, for which the Portland organization was granted the dates of August 9-14 and admitted to the fair circuit. High-Clana Men to Come. Mr. Brei tenstein, who left yesterdajf for the east, stated that some of the highest class auto racing talent in the county would come to the Pacific northwest next year in event a suit able circuit was arranged and stated that the International Motor Contests association, controlling body of dirt track racing in America, would grant sanctions upon his recommendation to many of the northwestern fairs. This would mean that high-class professional drivers of many years' experience would go after the purses which will be hung up in the north west this year in automotive circles The heretofore lone event of an an nual high-class professional race meet at Tacoma on the speedway would be broadened into nine or ten large dirt track race meets with world-wide champion dirt track drivers and record-holding cars in competition.
