CHICAGO. Jan. 20.-The question
as to whether or not Jack Dempsey,
heavyweight boxing champion, was a
Stacker, as charged by various posts
Of the American Legion. was taken
up In Chicago yesterday when w. Ii.
Fischer, former State inspector OF
draft records. made public the fol-
lowing letter:
Regarding Jack Dempsey's claims
for exemption from the selective serv-
ice draft, beg to submit my views OF
the case.

board No. SO and was also appointed
State inspector OF draft records after
armistice day. so ! know whereof l
speak.
"Kearns says: Dempsey made no
claims for exemption.
"How could he go into class "A,
a. a married man whose wife or chill
dren are mainly dependent on his
labor for support, II he made no
claim? He surely had to fill out the
dependency series in the QUESTIONABLE
for exemption and his wife had to
sign an affidavit to the effect that
Dempsey was supporting her.
"The draft board then placing him
In class Ia could only do so by the
wife Withdrawing her affidavit, which
she no doubt did.
"He was then placed in class 2-B,
which shows that Dempsey and his
wife had become reconciled again,
and as she was working and earning
her own living. class 2-B was the
proper place for him
"Kearns makes no further mention
Of the claim involving Dempsey's

How "king' Brady
Got His Title

For some time past Mike
Brady, one o. the best OF the
home bred golf professionals In
this country. has been known as
King Brady. Just why this is
so. few realize; but here's how
the story goes.
Back In the early days when
Tom Mcnamara, former metro
politan open champion was pro-
fess'onal at the Commonwealth
Country Club, Mike Brady and
George Bowden were caddies
there. Mike was the leader OF
the bag toters, and one day a
member refel red TO him as king
OF the caddies." The name has
stuck to him ever s'nce.
Br d., inc 'den'ally deserved
the name from financial stand
point, as he had the ball re-
trieving privilege at the pond
and used to make pretty penny
fishing out the topped and skied
balls. When Mike wanted an af-
ternoon off he used to give
Bowden a ty cents for "subbing"
in his place. Brady later sue
ceeded Mcnamara as pro" at

MINORS HARD HIT
BY SHOP OUTFITS
Bush League Managers Having
Hard Time Finding Players
For Campaign.
BY HARRY NELLY.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-Industria'
leagues and shop teams have nut in on
the available supply OF baseba'
olayers/ until the minor leagues ar
'estitute Of talent. That is one OF thu
'ueer phases OF sport uncovered a.
he annual meeting OF the America

Time was when the lads who ar
learning the game would snap AZ
,hance to hitch up with the minor
league outfit for $3.50 month and
the prospect Of advancing in the pro-
fession. However. they scoff at all
such offers now.
President henson Of the San An
tonic club Of the Texas League voiced
the sentiments Of the associates when
he declared:
May Need OId-Ttmer~.
II came to Chicago looking for
ball players and can't fnd them.
I need several men. but II seems as
II will be compelled to sign old
timers who are OF the down grade.
Other minor league owners have ex-
perienced the same thing. Why. go
to a young man who wishes to sign
for say $3.50 a month and he laughs
at mo and replies, 81 can get that
much In the shop and pick up money

This situation. however. does not
annoy the MAJORS. The talent Is de-
veloping all the time. whether In the

II Is likely that the inroads being
made upon organized ball by the
independent clubs backed by manu-
