COLLINS LOOKS
 GOOD AS TANKS
 CLEAN UP REDS

Palm Beach, Fla, March 18.---The Yankees threw the champion Reds for another loss here yesterday, making it two out of three, against the National Leaguers in three successive days. Yesterdays score was to 3. The game was anything but a walk over for the New Workers. A flock of hits in the eighth inning sent five Yam kees home and put an end to what had been an interesting battle.
 Playing on an unenclosed field be- side the Royal Ponciana hotel, the two teams battled before a crowd of about 5000.
 Iuggins started the game with George Mogridge, the veteran south paw, and five hits which the Reds collected off the sonutpaw were well scattered. The Reds pushed over a run in the fifth inning, the last that MogTidge toiled, on brace of doubles, the first by Rulbe Bressler and the sec ond by Jake Daubert. With the score ? to 1 in New York's favor, Huggins sent a rookie pitcher to the hill at the start of the sixth inning. Rip Collins a Texas League graduate, with z world of speed. drew the task of keep ing the National Leaguers in check and did exceptionally well. His wild ness got him into some trouble, bu. his great speed proved bewildering tC the Reds, and he was able to get out of his predicaments. In the four in nings of service- Collins set down six Reds on strikes, quite a performance for a rookie.
 Moran used Rube Bressler for five innings, and the Yankees took no un- due liberties with the veteran. 4 Gouble and a pair of scratch hits made uD the New York total when tho Efube retired after five frames. Ht had doubled and scored Cincinnati: lone run up to this time, for his flint pitching and hitting were not enougl to FeoD his team in front. Two O New Yorks hits were punched with { sacrifice hit and an error in the frs frame, two runs resulting.

NAVY EVIDENCE
 MAY CLEAR JACK DEMPSEY'S NAME

New York, March 1S-From re1ia- ble source on the Coast comes infor- nation that evidence of which the public hitherto has been unacquaint- ed almost certainly will clear Jack Dempsey, the worlds heavyweight champion, of the charges of being a stacker. Sworn testimony and aff1- davits of navy recruiting officers will be introduced showing that Dempsey twice attempted to enlist in the navy, but each time was turned down with the information that his services best could be utilized by his country along another line which at the time was of utmost importance.
 It also will be shown that Dempsey was ready to labor in the shipbuilding plants, but was told there was no ne cessity for it and it would interfere with other work assigned him by government officials. It was at the governments own request that Demp- sey, for purposes of propaganda, then most essential in thee arrying on of the war, posed in working togs. He was in no way to blame for the in- congruity of the picture, which show ed him wearing patent leather shoes and silk stockings below his overalls. Dempsey has roundly been criticised l for posing as worker when he did no actual work. He was acting under l government orders.
 Dempsey has remained stolid under [ the abuse that has been heaped upon ] him by those who did not understand i the true state of affairs. He realized that any statements from him might be misconstrued and that the right i place to make his defence was in his 1 actual court trial. where his state ments will be supported by the proper l affidavits.
 1 Dempsey apparently is of the opin- 1 ion that derogatory and conflicting statements made by his former wife will react in his favor, for in a letter l to a personal friend here he says il
 will be shown she is not responsible If Dempsey is acquitted he vii make his first Eastern ring appear. ! ance at Buffalo in May or early June | In support of the story that Demp

PARIS HAS PLAGUE
OF j. S. DESERTERS;
MANY ARRESTED
All Garry Guns and Are ''Bad
Men"-Live in Under
ground LARS.

PARIS, July 27.-Deserters from tho
American army that came TO France
still number ] 800 in the Paris district
alone, according 10 a report made by
the Paris police TO Capt. J. A. War
den, who is supervisiry apprehension
of the deserters In addi ion to invcsti-
eating bills still being presented
against the American Expedi tionar,y
Forces.
AZ these dessrters all have thu rep
utation with the French police of
carrying guns and being bad men
generally, the police simply notify the
American authorities from time to
time OF their presence in some par
ticular place, but do not attempt to
arrest them.
III some weeks the arrests Of de-
serters have averaged as high as ten.
The men not only carried guns, but
also had remarkable sets of personal
papers, including forged army dis
charges and forged army orders.
With these papers It was easy to
obtain the necessary French identity
cards. The men often are Americans
OF foreign birth.
The hairs of the deserters are mostly
in Montmatre in secret underground
passages in which the Apaches OF
Paris have managed in the past to
hide their trails from the police.
Their communications are 50 well es-
tablished that the moment a raid is
carried out by American military po-
hce from Coblenz the alarm is given
in every quarter.
The deserters Virtually are penned
up in Paris, not daring to stir outside
the city. II they 90 away from
Paris 1t means leaving an income
which often comes from the Illicit sale
OF drugs, being separated from the
communication system which Is their
safety and being Investigated by the
French police again.
The number of deserters in Paris is
steadily decreasing, however. as
soon as all alarms have died down
the military police swoop down again
on suspected places and usually the
next day a convoy starts for COblenZ
where courts martial sit almost con-
tinually. Sentences of less than 81
months are served there and longer
sentences in America.
