Woman Repudiates Allega
tion Alleging Draft Evasion.
AFFIDAVIT CLEARS JACK
Maxine Ucnics Interview' Xcuspa
per Man Alleges She Guvc Fed
eral l'robe to Continue.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4. (Special.)
Unqualified and absolute repudla
tlon of her charges that Jack Demp
ey was a slacker; that he did not
support her, but that she supported,
him; that Dempsey failed to work in
the shipyards or that she has any
evidence against the world's cham
pion was made today by Mrs. Maxine
Dempsey.
It was right about face with the
divorced wife. She or her friends
who brought her here for this inves
tigation .had prepared for the wit
ness to sign .an affidavit in which
he retracted everything she had said
and at the bottom remarked she was
sorry for having injured or marred
the reputation of her ex-husband.
Mrs. Dempsey said the same thing
before Assistant United States Attor
ney Thomas, with whom she was clos
eted for a two-hour session and later
in the day she repeated her denial to
. newspaper men who talked with her.
That letter written to and published
by the San Francisco- Chronicle, in
whioh Maxine made her original
charges was the hardest to explain
away and it cannot be said her ex
planation is altogether satisfactory.
Woman Right About Fares.
In the sworn affidavit Mrs. Demp
sey is made to say, on this point: "If
1 ever said that Jack Dempsey was
a slacker, or signed anything to that
effect I did so because I was jealous
of Dempsey and had been made mad
at him at the time by his enemies
continually ribbing me, and at all
times during our married life Jack
Dempsey supported me to his very
utmost ability, as he did his old father
and mother."
-j Asked by the Chronicle to explain
how she came to write the letter, if
there was no truth in the same, Mrs.
Dempsey replied:
"I've talked so much on the subject
I don't care to talk any more. I'm
worn out. My affidavit speaks for
itself."
Mrs. Dempsey was asked when 6he
learned there was no truth to the
..story that had made her so angry and
replied two or three days after she
had sent the letter to the Chronicle,
Now she stands forth boldly to
make a sworn statement that there
are no such letters and never were.
cvad Interview Denied.
Complete denial of the authenticity
or an interview given by her In Wells,
' Nev., was made by the woman today.
She unblushingly told the interviewer
that when he came to see her she had
told him she' had nothing to say and.
lurjner, had given him no statement
Mrs. Dempsey's change of heart
seems to have developed after she was
'interviewed in either Ogden or Salt
Lake city by Frank Spellman, the rep
resentative of the moving-picture syn
dicate, wao went to see her. Spell
man first went to Wells, Nev., and,
discovering the bird had flown, pro
: ceeded to Salt take City, where he
. got in touch with her and persuaded
her to come- to San Francisco with
her renunciation. - '
It seems apparent? that Mrs. Demp
sey is still very much in love with
the man whose name she bears and
unquestionably would welcome a re
marriage. . -
"Is there any possibility of a recon
ciliation?" she was asked. -
"Jack and I will never be anything
more to each other than we are now,"
she replied. ,'I am very' sorry that 1
. caused him any trouble" for I con
sider him a wonderful man. Jack
was a wonderful man and husband, so
far as I know him.'
Spellman Brings '. Wltneaa.
Mrs. Dempsey was Brought into
San Francisco late Tuesday afternoon
by Frank Spellman. jhe. hid out at
the Hotel Grand, where she was reg
istered as 'Xina Clark" and was not
available to members of the press
until after the first leg of the fed
eral investigation.
Just how long she will remain here
Is indefinite. She is said to be "on
all" to the federal authorities. Her
future has not been mapped' out.
The federal probe was conducted by
Assistant Thomas with Blanford of
the department of justice and Mrs.
Annette Adams, United States dis
trict attorney, in attendance.
A bodyguard and a waiting taxlcab
were provided for Mrs. Dempsey, and
she evaded in the federal building
all interviewers and any attempts to
secure a photograph.
Federal Probe Goea On.
On the subject of the federal in
vestigation. Colonel Thomas made this
ptnicniciib aiiu luio uiio vuiy .
"The investigation in the Dempsey
case will be continued. As to the tes
timony that Mrs. Dempsy gave before
department of justice agent Blanford
and m vselx. I have nothing- to sav"
Jack Keams, Dempsey's manager,
' who is still In San Francisco, has re
mained discreetly in the background.
.He declares he has madtfjno attempt
to talk with Mrs. Dempsey and that
he does not propose to do so.
Spellman. who rctiterates that he
has interested himself in this investi
gation "solely to clear the moving
plcfure end of the deal," insists Jie is
satisfied the affidavit constitutes a
complete vindication.
"We have spent some $300,000 on
the Dempsey serial' picture," he said,
"and would throw it in the ash can
if it was proved that Dempsey was
the slacker his wife originally claimed
he was."

Reds Leader Worries Over Whom
He Can Send to Indianapolis.
One of Pat Moran's worries in the
training camp this year will be find
ing likely 'youngsters to send to In
dianapolis Jn part payment for Sam
Crane, who was sold to the Reds by
Jack Hendricks. The deal was . for
JlO.noO cash or for players each worth
:500. The Red leader knew that he
could not set t- four youngsters for
the Indianapolis club, so he gave Hen
dricks $5000 in cash and promised to
give him two players after the spring
training was over.
If he cannot dig up the necessary
players he must get Herrmann to
hand over $5000 more. Incidentally,
Crane has sent his signed contract to
the Reds and says he expects no
trouble in landing a regular infield
berth. Just ,whlch one of the quartet
composed of Daubert, Rath, Kopf and
Groh, Crane expects to dislodge he did
not say. If that quartet plays like it
did last season, especially in the
World Series, Crane ivill probably be
riding a big leigue bench.

ORKGON AGRICULTURAL. COL
LKGE, Corvallis, Feb. 4. (Special.)-
That Oregon: Agricultural college had
closed with M. H. "Mike" Butler,
famous trainer of athletes, to become
a part of its athletic staff, was the
Important announcement given out
tonight by James J. Richardson, gen
eral manager of student activities,
after a meeting of the board of con
trol, at which Butler's terms were
accepted. Butler, who is at present
in charge of the Butler school ef
Physical Training in Portland, will
report in Corvallis next Monday. He
will be associated with the various
athletic activities of the college.
The veteran's wonderful work dur
ing the past football season in get
ting disabled athletes into the finest
possible condition speaks well for his
ability as a trainer. When the Ore
gon Agricultural college football
team was riddled with injuries early
last fall it was decided to employ
Butler to place the gridiron warriors
into shape for the Oregon and Wash
ington State college games. He re
ported at Corvallis one week before
the clash with Oregon and waded into
his work and sent the black and
orange gridders into the big Kugcne
game jn the finest possible condition.
From the time Butler assumed
charge of the conditioning of the team
not a single minute was taken out for
injuries in the three remaining games,
which were with the University of
Oregon, Washington State college and
Gonzaga university.
Butler first attracted attention on
the Pacific coast when he brought
out the Chicago Athletic club track
team to the Lewis and Clark expo
sition and won almost every first
place on the track programme.
He is well known as a wonderful
conditioner of men and is well liked
by the students and faculty of the
institution. One of the biggest tributes
paid to Butler was a letter of rec
ommendation received from the Chica
go Athletic club, which -gave Butler
entire credit for the wonderful show
ing of the windy city athletes dur
ing the period of 10 years when many
world's records were broken by men
under his charge.
It was announced - tonight Butler
would be paid a top notch salary,
equal to that of the best coaches and
trainers in the country. The exact
amount was not given out for publi
cation. Butler will arrive with his
family next Monday.

Alex Takes on Joe Azevedo Before
Dreamland Fans Moore Xails
Milwaukie Price Rumor;
BY DICK SHARP.
They are falling for Portland; box
ers strong in San Francisco and Oak
land and two Rose City battlers' will
be featured in a double main event
in the Seal Rocks city on tomorrow
night's fistic card at Dreamland rink.
Jimmy Darcy will face Ed Warner,
a hard-hitting Salt Lake light-heavyweight,
in the four-round windup
bout, while Alex Trambitas will tangle
four rounds with Joe Azevedo in the
four canto semi-windup.- Darcy and
his welterweight brother Alex are big
cards around the bav section and
manager Jack Fahie is not having any
trouble keeping them busy. Darcy
may find more trouble with Warner
than a lot of boxers he has met dur
ing his career. Warner blew in to
San Francisco about four months ago
totaly unknown and refused to di
vulge where he was from and who he
had fought until the . promoters gave
him a chance.
They gave him an opportunity and
he stopped his man in a couple of
rounds. " He asked for a tougher op
ponent, still refusing to give out any
advance matter on himself. He again
stopped his man and then told them
all about himself and incidentally
claims to have made Jack Dempsey
run out of a match with him in Salt
Lake. Anyway, Warner' has fought
the best of them In the south and has
always held his own.
- It is the original Joe Azevedo of the
old 20-round days who will face Alex
Trambitas. Joe started a comeback
several months ago and, though a
good deal heavier than when he was
in his prime, he has managed to more
than hold his owji with the youngsters
over the four-round route. If he is
in good shape Alex should be in for an
interesting tussle.

statement that seems to have gotten
around that a .top price of $7.60
would be charged to see the card
next Wednesday night. The prices
for the contest will be Jl, 2, 33, $4
and $5. The best seat in the house
'will not be over 15.
There was also, something said to
the effect that the fans had been
unable to get the best seats. There
are only about ISO seats at any show
which are not available to the first

held by fans who take them by the
season, paying for them whether
they attend or not. Qf these kind
there are about 150 customers. The
rest of the seats are ell put on sale
and go to the first comers.
Boy McCormlck worked like a Tro
jan yesterday at the London club
with Stanley Willis and Weldon Wing.
If anything, McCormick is training
too hard for the match, but he wants
to""be in the best of shape whan he
faces Gibbons. Tommy is due to ar
rive here Saturday,
The rest of the boys on the card
are training daily for their engage
ments. ..'' I

A change has been made in the
semi-windup of the card. Stanley
Willis will meet Harry Casey in Pete
Mitchie's-place. Mitchie was unable
to train properly for the match ow
ing to the fact of his being quaran
tined because of "flu" in his family.
Willis and Casey fought a gory ten
round bout in Milwaukie several
months ago and a return match will
be welcomed by the fans.
