Mystification grows as to why Jack Dempsey was singled out as a target for vicious draft dodger" attacks
 The strangest thing about it is hat no assault was leaunched against Demp- sey until more than year after the waa had ended. If Dempsey was ever draft dodger' he was just as guilty more than a year ago as today But no fight on him was made until January of this year.
 What's the reason for it?
 Dempsey's record, according to the chairman of his draft board is absolutely clean. He had three-not merely one claims for exemption. Any one of those three would have excused him from mili- tary service. Yet in the face of Gls, certain individuals and certain groups have inaugurated a fight upon him.
 Isn't it more than singular that of the 23,000.000 men in the United States who were exempted from military duty or who were excused from service that Jack Dempsey--and Jack Dempsey alone should be picked out as a target for mud singing and denouncing?
 WHY PICK ON DEMPSEY?
 Of all the exempted men in this whole nation the heavyweight champion alone is classed publicly by certain cliques as draft dodger." The contention of eme is that Dempsey did not do any war work. Those who make such a state nent not only do Dempsey grave h. justice, but they utter what is libelous. They make charges wholly unsupported by facts. For Dempsey appeared at va r.cus war charity entertainments, and by those appearances raised more than $lOO,- GOO for the fund for the soldiers and sailors
 But even if Dempsey had done no war work, what of it? He was exempted fl on active military service during the war because he had dependents-wife. mother, semi-crippled father, sick brother and a sister. When a man was exempted from military service the government did not tell him what he sho uld or shouldn't do in the line of work thereafter It was optional with the indf- vidual.
 Dempsey did not have to work in the shipyards He could have worked as a stenographer or as a street cleaner or as a machinist or at any of the essential in- drstries.
 The more one ponders over the Demp- sey situation the stranger becomes the aspect The war ended in November, 1918. Dempsey's record then, as now, vas a matter concerning which the pub lie had all the information it desired. So one classed him then as draft dodger.. hen he was matched with Willard early in 1919 no charge of draft dodger was made against him. When he won the cha rnpionship there was no such charge.

MURPHY FILES SUIT AGAINST THE WHOLE
 NATIONAL LEAGUE
Asks Courts to Restrain the League From Arranging or Publishing a
 Schedule
By Associated Prsu


 Chicago, February 9.-Suit to re-
 strain the National League from
 arranging, or publishing, q sched-
 uIe for 1920, was filed in circuit
 court today by Charles Webb Mur-
 phy. one time owner of the Cubs.
 Murphy names all the clubs In the
 league as defendants.
 Murphy charges the league magnates with breach of contract in connection with the lease given the Chicago club for Cub park
 The lease, which was to run unt1 1922, was broken on August l. 1916, Murphy says. He asks that the Ma tional League be restrained from ar- ranging a schedule until his case for damages is settled.
 The alleged breach of contract. Mur- phys petition recites. was the out club by the Federal League Club under Charles Weeghman. Weeghman is named as one of the defendants. Others include Barney Dreyfus, Charles H. Stoneham, George Washington Grant, William L. veeck and John Heydler president of the National League,
 Murphy asks s121,s22 from the Chi cago Club, including $50 900 for breach of covenant.
 The suit cites the constitution of the National League. which states that the purchaser of any club must assume the assets as we'll as the liabilities. One of the liabilities of the Chicago club when it was purchased by the Weegh man Federal League syndicate was the ninety nine-year lease on Murphy's park, the suit states.
 'I filed the suit today because ali the National League magnates are in town and this was the best chance to get service" Murphy explained. 'I am asking that the court not only restrain the league from drafting a schedule to include games with the Chicago club, either at home or abroad, but that the other teams be restrained from playing | with the Chicago team until this case is | settled"
 SheriTs deputies invaded the meet. | ing of the National League magnates | this afternoon and served papers re- quiring them to appear in court Feb ruary 25 and show cause why the in- junction should not be granted.

Not until January of 1920 was an attack launched upon him.
 Whats the reason?
 KEARNS' STATEMENT
 Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Demp- sey, has this to say:
 All the information that comes to me from a dozen different sources forces the conviction that Jimmy Bronson. man. ager of Bob Martin, was one of the prime movers in the whole thing. Bronson, I know positively, was eager to have Dempsey discredited and side tracked so that Martin could get a match with Georges Carpenter"
 Tt is interesting to note the follow ing fact:
 Bob Martin, heavyweight champion of the armies in France. returned to this country late in the summer of 1919. A few weeks later under the guidance of Jimmy Bronson, he launched upon pro- fessional career. Over course of about three months he disposed of about seven or eight different fighters via the lSuock- out route. Charges have been made that these men were setups secured for him so as to make his showing impressive. Whether or not that is true l cannot say. Btu the point remains that through the

tigaton had been made of his record few newspaper men, friendly to Bronson and Martin, at once launched vicious attack upon the champion. One writer who is accused of having financial in terest in the earnings of Martin become most bitter and most violent in his de- nunciation of Dempsey. He tried to create the national impression that Dempsey was an unfit American.
 Why?
 'I don't now-absolutely--wn started the fight on Dempsey. But I do know that no one attempted to discredit the champion or lower him in public opinion until Bob Martin became rather con- spicuous as a fighter and until his man. ager began making wild efforts to secure the fight with Carpenter.

MARTINS INTEREST

Tn December, 1919, Carpenter knocked out Joe Beckett and immediately there was talk of a match between Dempsey and the Frenchman. This had hardly started before Bronson began advocating that Martin was a logical man to meet Carpenter No one paid much atten- ton to his claims. Although it was ad- mitted that if Dempsey could be side tracked Martin might be considered the logical Carpenter foeman.
 And then, of sudden, action was taken hy few posts of an organization which lists both Bronson and Martin as members. They condemned Dempsey as draft dodger. although no real inves-
