DECAYED Meat
WAS CAUGHT BY
The INSPECTORS
Naval Officers Condemned
$4,000 Pounds AS I'm
fit To Eat
(By Associated Press.)

New York. June 20.=~Men Of the
American navy and the naval reserve
would have been served with the
great quantities of decayed meat but
for the vigilance Of inspection off,
GERS, who rejected it as unfit for hui
| man consumption according to evil
J dence given here yesterday before the
| federal trade commission. The tes-
| ttmony was brought out during the
| inquiry which the commission is
conducting into charges that Wilson
| & Co., packers. sold bad" hams to
the government.
Naval officers also testified that the
| packers had asked "exorbitant'' prices
in bids to furnish hams to the navy,
with the result that a commander
ing order was issued at prices fixed
by the government.
After Capt. Charles Williams, navy
| pay director had described his re-
fusal to accept 492,074 pounds of
! hams, which he said was "musty,
mouldy, marrowsour or just plain
/ sour" Thomas E. Wilson, president
| Of the company, denied that his firm
had ever knowingly delivered tainted
meat to the army or navy.
Sold 5OO,ooO,000 Pounds.
"'Since the United States entered
the war we have sold to the govern
ment 500,000,000 pounds Of meat" de-
clared Mr.. Wilson, land if any Of it
was found to be bad we have taken
it back"
Asked if any member or agent of
his company had ever knowingly
shipped unit meat to the military
forces. he replied:
Never, and such a person would
be Immediately dismissed. All meats
shipped by this firm to the govern
ment were inspected by agents for
the department Of agriculture who
have HE'D no charges against us"
The packers testimony was sup
plemented by that of Walter J.
Reese and H. Hirschfelder, agents at
Philadelphia and San Antonio, who
denied having attempted at any
time to dispose of unsound meat to
the government.
Captain Williams, who is stationed
in Brooklyn, where he directs ship
,ment Of food and clothing to the en-
tire enlisted personnel OF the navy,
declared that violent protest. had
been made by officers in charge of the
Great Lakes training station near
Chicago, against further delivery OF
Wilson hams. Other hams, shipped
to the battleship Missouri, he said,
were rejected as ''unsound and dam
gerous"
Some of the hams sent to the Great
Lakes training station, the witness
testified, were nouldy, products
which had been "scrapped" by Wilson
& Co, after their original rejection,
and accepted by the navy department
over Captain Williams protest Med
zeal officers at the station objected
$50 strenuously to the shipments, he
declared, that they were discontinued.

DISHLNG UP THE SPORT DOPE
BY JACK Keene

they assumed charge Of their clubs,
but BeZdes, unlike any of this trio
never even had experience as a

first time In two years, and with
prospects Of making an interesting
race clear up to the October finale.

Previous to the time that Barney
Dreyfuss startled the base bah
world by handing Jimmy Calahan's
job to Bezdeks the latter was acting
as scout for the Pittsburgh team.
Bezdek's shrewdness and display OF
good common sense in handling the
problems OF this end of the pastime
influenced Dreyfuss to gamble on
him as manager.
Bezdek's name, however, is not un-
known In the athletic world, par
ticularly the collegiate part. Fiji
teen years ago he was q star half
back on Coach Stages famous Chi
cago Maroons. This was during the
era when old fashioned football pre-
vailed, and gains were made solely
through battering ram tactics. Bez-
dek was one OF the most consistent
ground gamers that ever played on
any eleven in the Western confer
ence.
Before coming to the university
Bezdek had quite a reputation as ap
amateur pugilist, and at one time it
looked as IL fate would lead his ca
reer into the channels OF Fistiana.
At college, however, he continued to
box, and the story has been told that
on one particular and memorable
night he cleaned up" with the whole
football training table, when some
thing went wrong.
After his college days were over
Bezdek went TO Eugene, Ore, ana
helped TO develop the athletic stars
at State College. Two years later
he returned to help Stagg coach Chi
cago, and then became coach at tbe
University OF Arkansas, where he
made an enviable record. Then he
went back TO oregon as athletic di-
rector. His most noteworthy
achievement was the defeat OF the

Danbury, Conn, already hiss a
certain sort of fame.
It is the city where P. T. Barnum
was born.
ALSO it is the place wdere the first
hat in America was made.
Quite fittingly Jack Dempsey, the
newest sensation in heavyweights
halls from this city, and would like
to knock Fred Fulton into a cooked
hat.
Since then Fulton has developed
into a finished workman, andhas de-
feated practically every worthwhile
heavyweight in the game. Recently
he was matched to fight willard for
the championship, but various state
and government officials refused to
sanction the bout.
Dempsey, contrary to general be-
lief, is not a westerner. He was born
in Logan, w. Va, but when he was
ten years old his parents moved to
Colorado and Jack grew up on the
farm. In time he became q boiler
maker, was introduced to the boxing
mdttens, won a few ring tussles,
drlfted to Salt Lake City and then
to Portland, Ore. Some way or other
he managed to work his way east.
In New York he hooked up with
John Reisler, yclept John the Bar
Der. His success was far from fiat
tering and he returned west,
Back west he took up the. FOUR
round game in San Francisco, after
being knocked out by jim Flynn In
one round. Still success failed to
come his way and discouraged Of
ever being winning boxer, he re-
turned to the gentle and less excit-
ing art Of boiler making About this
time Jack Kearns, who used to man
age the late Les Darcy decided to
take a chance on Dempsey. Kearns
persuaded the yolIngster TO give the

time Dempsey made good whipping
Bob McAllister, Charley Miller, Al
Norton, and Gunboat Smith. Then
he gave Carl Morris a nifty trim
ming. More recently he stopped
Bill Brennan in six rounds, a. feat
Fulton was unable 10 accomplish, by
the way.
Dempsey Is a good puncher, q fast
clever boxer, with shift on the orr
der OF the one made famous by stan
ley Ketchel. He is now a polished
ringster, an aggressive warrior and
has the confidence that has come
with success. He has a powerful
coterie OF boxing men behind him and
he seems ia a fair way TO win the
championship, if beating Fulton
amounts to that At any rate 1t will
be the most important boxing bout
OF the year ard the only ring classic
