DEMPSEY TELLS
 HOW HE HELPED
Earnings in 1917 Amounted to $4,OOO and During War
 Received Wrist Watches

San F'rancisco, June 15.---William Harrison Jack Dempsey, the heavy weight boxing champion of the world, took the witness stand in his own de- fense yesterday in his trial here on charges of evading the Selective Draft Act. Dempsey denied cha rges of non support and cruelty made by his for mer wife, Mrs Maxine Dempsey, in testimony given earlier in the trial.

He detailed experiences as a farm hand, miner, carpenter and boxing game was dull'' and toward the end, his life as budding cham pion. Dempsey said he had supported his wife until she left him.
 He denied that he had broken his wifes jaw by a blow while they were living at a hotel here, as she had charged, Because she had not earned any money for him. Dempsey said he never had struck his wife and that the jaw fracture was caused by a fall. Dempsey said his earnings in the ring for 1917 were about s4,0o0. The next year a large part of his time was spent in appearances at patriotic
 benefits, out of which, he said, be- sides travelling expenses, he got two
 wrist watches and a gold pencil" ''I wanted to do the country some good" he said in explanation of his boxing for nothing.
 Did any of your opponents get anything for these matches?" he was asked.
 NO. Once Willard was to get sS0,00o in Chicago" Dempsey replied. | Early in 1917, soon after his mar riage, Dempsey said, he left his wife | in San Francisco while he went back | to Salt Lake to box. He returned ten days later to find her gone. discover 1 ing her living with her brother in an apartment house.

When boxing was made a part of the United States Army's training during the war it was claimed onSan sides that a prodigous crop of boxers would be developed-a crop which would probably produce ring cham pions in all classes when the war end ed. But such was not the case. Many clever performers were devel- oped, it is true, but the instruction was of too hurried nature to mould men to that state of proficiency with the mitts which gets title amongst professionals. However Army box ing wasn't entirely barren in its re- suits. It fashioned a possible heavy weight champion out of Bob Martin.
 Martin, as everyone knows, is the heavyweight champ. He won that honor by beating the best men, not only in our troops but amongst those of the United Kingdom and the French. After the signing of the armistice Martin journeyed through ! France, engaging in twenty four bouts. He won them all, three ter minating in knockoutS. Bob, who by the way, is Virginian, comes of Scotch Irish-Indian ancestry. His fathers grandmother was full blooded 1ndian-which may account | for Bob's being on the war-path to the HedNy yWelSnL cnaInp1OnSnlD goal | Martins best ring performance in the army, probably, was his whir1-
 wind defeat of Gordon CoughiH,
 champion of the Australian forces l and a noted professional. Coughill.
 who not so long ago held out against ] big Fred Fulton for three rounds,
 was flattened by Martin in 52 sec 1 onds. General Pershing witnessed the
 combat and personally congratulated 1 the American for his brilliant exh1- l bition.
 1 Martin is trying to vindicate the l slowing praises bestowed upon him l by the general who spoke of him 1 in this wise: "I have seen you fight | three times, Martin. You surprised ] me. I thought the Australian would | go at least three rounds. You did the l work and did it quickly. If you take
 care of yourself you should do well ] in the ring later. The game, of which you are part, has helped to make the army of which you are a part,
 the greatest fighting force in the l world''
 Since his return to civil life Mar
 tin has continued his ring successes ! amongst the professionals. He has l engaged in about a dozen scraps l winning most of them by knockouts. | Among those who have gone down | before his doughty fists are Bob | Scanlon, Joe Bonds, Jack Moran, Tom Riley, Arthur Pe1key, Jack McFar- land, and ponderous Joe Cox. Cox claims that he once dropped Jess 1 Willard for the count in gym bout | it will be remembered.
 | Martin is now seeking bigger game
 and is anxious to tackle the best fr I, the business. He will probably be
 ore of the principals in big Fourth
 of July match against either Martin
 Burke, Gene Tunney or Ray Smith.

FRISCH RETURNS TO
 GAME IN NEW YORK

Frank Frisch, the great young third baseman of the Giants, swung his bat in the New York cause yester- day afternoon for the first time since April 24, when he was taken down with appendicitis. Within a week he will be back in the field. Frisch was inserted into the game with the Car dinals as a pinch hitter for Hubbell in the sixts inning. Snyder was on first, having singled. Frisch swung ra ther weakly and forced the catcher.
 Frisch still was weak and ran slowly to first base. He has been taking a little practice in the field and said that he was almost ready to resume his place regularly. With F'risch back McGraw's biggest prob lem will be solved, for neither Sick ing nor Lear has been playing major league ball.

BOXING MAY REGAIN
 ITS FORMER PLACE

Following the lead of New York State bill was recently passed in Masa chusetts which -1egalizes ten round, decision boxing bouts. It be- gins to look as if boxing may yet re- gain it's old time place in the sun" The narrow minded hypocrites who had succeeded in getting boxing banned in a great many parts of the United States are at least heinz over powered by the force of public opin- ion. The hope of the sporting world now is that the boxing promoters in those states which are going to per init decision fights once more, place the sport on a high, honest plane.

WASHINGTON.-New York had q
population of 5,621,151 ON January q
an increase of S54,26S or 17.9 per cent
over 1910. the census bureau announc
ed tonight. The rate of growth was
smaller than ever before in the city's
history. except in the decade ending in
1870, while the increase numerically
was smaller than in either of the two
decades preceding 1910.
The latest estimate of the popula.
ton OF the city and county of Lon
don, made in 1917, was 4O26, 9O1, a de.
crease from the official census OF
1911 which showed a population OF
1921, 6S5. The small increase in the
growth of the city of New York dur.
ing the last decade is attributed by
census officials to the almost complete
stoppage during the war of immigra.
ton and to the heavy emigration of
foreign born residents.
