DENIES DEMPSEY
 WAS 'SLACkING'
Manager Jack Kearns Cites War
 Record Of Champion

Los Angeles. Jan. 14.--DeniaI of charges that Jack Dempsey, heavy weight pusilistic champion, was "a draft dodger" and ''slacker'' and de- fense of his conduct during the war was made by Jack kearns, Dempsey $ manager, in q signed statement issued here today.
 Dempsey was not a draft dodger during the war" kearns' statement said. Anyone who makes such a charge cannot support it with facts.
 When tho draft came Dempsey was placed in Class IA because he Was married, and. in addition, was sup porting d mother. an invalid brother and a sister. Dempsey made no claims for exemption.
 Sometime later the draft board readjustinG classifications, placed Dempsey in Glass \, but almost i'm mediately afterwards put him in Class 2B. He remained there during the rest of the war. If the conflict had lasted q few weeks longer. it seems a certainly he would have been in the uniformed service.
 kearns recounted Dempsey's scrv- ices as a riveter in Philadelphia and Seattle shioyards and added: He also was appearing in iistic contests at benefits for the different war charities. By this means approx innately S1OO,O0O was raised for. the various war funds"
 Dempsey paid his travelling cX- penses and fought without remuncra- tion, kearns said, and "frequently was broke as & consequences"
 Those who are charging Demp- scy with being a 'sacker' because he worked in the shipyard and helped to raise nearly s1o0,oOO for the vari- ous war charities" tho statement con- cluded. "aro smudging the reputation of every other exempted man who served the nation in the army at home.'

BOXING TOURNEY
 GETS SEVERE JOLT
Alderman Dehm Strongly Op- poses Proposed Amateur Event

Alderman C. J. Dehnl, d mem Der of the license committee which has charge of boxing in this city. raised d strenuous objection at m eeting of the committee last evening. to the propos- cd three nights amateur boxing tour
 ney, scheduled in February. Those in
 charge of the proposed event have
 made no application to the committee
 for d license. Alderman Dehm during
 his remarks against allowing the tour 'ncy stated that he was opposed to box
 ing which would run three nights in a
 week. One of the promoters appeared
 before the committee and outlined the
 plans already made for the tourney.
 He cited where such events arc allow
 cd in other cities in Connecticut. and
 where no permit is needed. Alderman
 Dchm wanted d vote taken last night
 on tho question of permitting such d
 tourney. but the chairman advised that
 the cooperation counsel be asked for an opinicn whether such an event can be conducted without d permit. If it is necessary that such q permit must
 be granted il can be seen that the chanceS for a three nights tournament are not any too bright.
 The license committee took another step toward regulating the sport in this city by naming Il committee Of four to govern boxing in this city. This committee consists uf M ChaCl SouncN. Frank J. Moran, Philip J. Br;,tton and Timothy Conway. The committee has been empowered to select a chairman. The resignation of Judge William F. ManSln from the advisory commit C was read and accepted.

RICHARD IN COMBINE WITH L. B. COCHRAN
Official Notice Of Partnership
 May Be Made Soon

New York. Jan. t4.--When Te:. Rickard recently Was asked if he had put in a bid or intended to put in d bid for the Denpsey-Carpentio match, the famous prom oter said that he was sitting still and watching de Nelopments. That was right, for just at present there is little for Tex to do. The business just now best can be handled by C. 5. Cochran. On good authority it was learned yesterday that the greatest American boNinS promoter and the greatest British fs- tic inlpresaro have been in secret al liance and are awaiting the proper time to make their partnership and their plans known.
 There are no two n@en in the world better qualified to direct such q tre- mendous sporting enterprise. In fact the general opinion has been that il would require just such q. compina~ lion to make for the success of the bout. Meanwhile the sporting Worlc must wait until official continuation comes from Rickard and Cochran. In all probability it will not be forth coming until carly next month.
