in his pocket. He will have full pow
er to act. and he promises to go right
to the bat and make a battle in behalf
of his constituents.
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."

GAME HARD BUT CLEAN
SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 28. (Spe
cial.) 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. These
affidavits were today forwarded to
K earns for such use as he saw fit.

scored an even break out of two

hope things may come their way in
the two games with the Methodists,
who were admitted to the conference
this year, and so give them a boost
in the conference struggle.
Coach Shy Huntington is not opti
mistic concerning the varsity's chances
with the Willamette five. 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

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. Irve Day at guard played i
good defensive game and broke up
several plays started by the Wash
ington team.

but Spokane was outplayed throughout.
EY DICK SHARP.
Captain Bob Roper. 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.

retaries attending the meeting of the

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.

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
