kome" was the ultimatum. "Thei, first duty is there"
 But Dempsey immediately put on full steam aheadr' He fought as often as it was humanly possible for him to do. And he distributed his earning 8 among his dependents. He wanted to take care of them fully so that he could enlist for war without worrying about their welfare.
 When he had accomplished that--by October, 1918, he got busy and made plans for enlistment for duty overseas --not as boxing instructor. But even as the papers were being sent to him the armistice was signed. But even while he stayed at home Dempsey was active for the govern ment. He recruited workers for ship yards. entertained soldiers and sailors in camps and naval stations. And he went beyond that. He boxed when ever he was asked to box for worthy cause. He might have earned thou sands of dollars being for himself in different cites during 1918. But in- stead, Dempsey eagerly sought to box for war charity benefits.
 EARNS $331, 300 FOR FUNDS And Dempsey earned $33l,o0o TOT enc or another of those funds. What man among those who stayed at home and later condemned Dempsey cid more? The vindication of Dempsey. the clean, decisive acauittal, means much fer boxing It would have been blot on pugilisn if the heavyweight cham : pion of the world had been found guiley of cowardice. But there wasn chance
 The government tried, through the medium of nearly twenty witnesses ,o Sbow that Dempsey had lodged mili : tary duty Yet not one of that score even was able to smudge Dempsey name. For Dempsey was clean.
 Now that the trial is over, and Demp- sev is free to fight once more, the "rnauler" is ready to tear loose. It may be another month or so before he mingles in hissinaugural fight as a de- fender of the crown. But when he does finally start the fighting world will stand aghast.
 For Dempsey is a fighter unlike the prize ring has ever seen before.

By JAMES J. CoRBErT

Jack Dempsey's acquittal of the draft lodging charge is the best tn'ng that could have happened to pugilism. And it is an action which l felt certain must come about.
 Never in all the years I have been identified with the game, have I met a finer, cleaner, more likeable fellow than never one whose life's attitude has been so exactly opposed to draft dodg- ing.
 During those weeks in January and February. when Dempsey was being made the target of malicious charges came into frequent contact with him in Los Angeles. Often we discussed tie situation. And the more we did the more fully I became convinced of Dempsey's complete innocence.
 When rumors were rife that Demp- sey was to be indicted. he said to me:
 HOPES TO BE INDICTED
 q hope [ am. Then theFe'll be a rial and 1 can tell my story publicly, After that trial I'll either be guilty or innocent. If I'm acquitted. it will silence those who through these weeks have been hammering away a me"
 Sometimes l feel that if Dempsey had rushed into the open and told the truths that came out later during his trial, he never would have been indicted. But Dempsey. amazingly modest, wholly unwilling to utter a word in self praise shrank from it. He decided he'd rather be indicted than tell his story.
 of they do indiet me. then l guess I'll have to give 'em facts and fls- ures,' he said.
 And. at the trial, when his reputation ard freedom were at stake, Dempsey came through He showed to the world that instead of being a draft dodger he was one of the stay-at-home heroes of tho war. Dempsey, if he had been per riitted to consult only his own wishes in the matter, probably would have en- listed soon after Americas entrance into the war.
 MANY TO SUPPORT
 But Dempsey had a wife, mother semi invalid father, an invalid brother another semi-inva1id brother two sis. ters and three nieces to support. He couldn't go. And the government, when it put the draft law into effect made it absolutely positive that it wanteo no man like Dempsey in the service. Men with dependents must stay al

HUBS FINES PAID
 BY NASHVILLE FANS

The popularity of the Gallatin Squash
 among the local fan colony was clearly evidenced yesterday in the stands when a collection was taken up to pay-tines assessed to raise the penalty. and Hub is free once again.
 Perdue declared that he absolutely re- fused to be hornswoggled out of his jack in such fashion,. The suggestion was made that to avoid the red tape to lower any of the fines that the fans make it
 up. and they did. Which shows that the sympathy of the bugs was with the
 pitcher rather than the umps,
 If they fined some of John Martin S
 umpires every time they pulled south

 owing the league money instead of draw
 ing salaries.-N ashville Banner.

TY COBB DOESN'T WANT ] MANAGERIAL TROUBLES

few weeks ago the rumor went the rounds that Ty Cobb would soon be ap- pointed manager of the Tigers.
 A close friend approached Ty, who re- plied 'I am ball player and not a manager. I have troubles enough play ing the game, without the additional bur den of management. As I look at it now, when the last man is out my work is over for the day. The manager stews all night figuring why the team lost or why the pitchers failed to come through and a lot of other worries. No manage ment for me-" went on Tyrus.
 Perhaps when my playing days are over l may take up the task of manage ment, but not so long as I am cavort- ing on the ball field. -Pittsburg Leader.

The Barons jumped on Perdue in the first inning for three hits, all of them wo-baggers, and two runs.
 In the fifth the Vols put across their first one. In the seventh the Barons lregained their two-run lead by score ling another run. In the eighth the game was smashed to pieces from a Baronial standpoint, the Vols staging their fruitful rally
 Despite the fact that eight runs were scored in the game. it was something of pitchers battle. It was a beauti full duel until the eighth, both Coffin ldaffer and Perdue pitching a splen- ldid brand of ball.
 SUPPORT SAVES PERDUE \ IN THE EIGHTH INNING
 Both pitchers were backed by rather sensational support. Perdue's backing lin reality saved the game for him. Ii was in the Barons' part of the eighth timing. Ellis and Griffith flew out Ito start it. Hairston caught one on the end of his bat for a single to right field Bernsen singled cleanly to left
 Then, with the two tieing runs or the bags, Peters slammed a terrific bounder between third and short. Ii seemed impossible for a put-out to be made on the smash, but Roy Ellam threw the monkey wrench into the Baronial machine by catching the bal on the tip of his fingers and nippins Bernsen off at second by a fraction ot "a second had the ball gone through Ellam there would have been one TUT scored and a possibility of others. Il didn't go through Ellam, though, beau coup luck for Perdue.
 The Barons' first runs came in
 the first inning, when Stevenson.
 Bnrnhart and Griffith doubled, the

 his worst inning.
 In the fifth Ellam walked with two down. went to second on Ballinger's hi through second to right and scored or Knaupp's clean drive to center.
 The Barons put across their fina. tally in the seventh. Hairston drove over second base for a safe hit. Bern. sen was out at first, sending Lucy .tc second. Peters singled to short. send ing Hairston to third. Coffindaffel bunted before the plate and Hairstor scored. Joe being caught at first. Pet CTS stopped at second. Bal1fngel messed up on Cro1ls grounder and the Baron was safe. Stevenson walked filling the bags. Barnhart was unable Ito deliver, however, and Stevie was forced at second, ending the rally an6 the Barons' scoring.
