DEMPSEY ACCUSES
KEARNS OF FORGING
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j.. October 6.
Jack Kearns was charged with
forgery by his former protege, Jack
Dempsey. in Chancery Court yesterday
after the former had identified a con-
tract as having been signed by Demp-
sey
The former champion appeared be-
fore Vice Chancellor Ingersoll to
show cause why a receiver should not
be appointed. The application had
been made by Kearns previous to the
recent championship battle.
In August. 1923. said Dempsey,
Kearns visited him at Saratoga
Springs. telling him that he, Kearns,
had forged Dem2seys name to a con-
tract and that he had been caught by
the New York State Boxing Commits
sion and feared criminal prosecution.
Feeling sorry for Kearns. Dempsey
testified. he affixed his signature to a
contract, though, he testified, it was
only in a spirit of friendship, and 1t
was understood the contract was
worthless and not binding.
kearns introduced a letter written
to Dempsey In March Of this year, in
which he charged Dempsey with hav-
ing violated his contract, and told him
that he, Kearns. was managing the
future heavyweight champion of the
world, Napoleon Darval."
Decision was reserved for three
weeks to permit counsel to file briefs.

victory to get them IN good runnlf1
The Cards have been as spry as
could be desired, but the Yanks ap'
parently have been at loss to under
stand just what is going on.
The Cards seemed to change imme-
diately after Billy the Kid Southworth
made that homer over the right-field
screen in the home of the New York
ers in the seventh inning of Sundays
battle. Never dispirited since the
start of the series, they took on more
fire then and have been flaring bright
ly since.
And what added fuel to the fame
burning in the hearts of the Red
Birds probably took about all that
was left of the scant amount OF
warmth th,, Yankees had when they
began the big struggle. Then the
New Workers were a cold lot and
fortunately profited thereby. But, in
the next two games they were unable
to work up any enthusiasm. Cold
when they began the series, they were
colder still at the conclusion of the
third tilt.
And there was no colder member of
these Yankees yesterday than Walter
Ruether. who hurled through nearly
two seasons with the Nationals under
the guidance of Bucky Harris before
donning the uniform of Col. Rupert s
one-time consistent sharpshooters.
The performance of the portside
pitcher in the third game of the series
more than justified his release to the
Yankees by the Nationals toward the
fag end of the recent American
League campaign. despite his record
that made him seem the best pitcher
on the Washington roster during the
year.
Dutch appeared none too good
when he first stepped to the rubber
yesterday. He had to pitch himself
out to practically every batsman that
faced him before that heavy shower
came along in the early part of the
fourth frame The Cards looked
him over carefully and got a double
two singles and a pass during those
three sessions.
Ruether's Wing COOls.
And after the lay-off of more than
90 minutes that the storm brought
about. Dutch cooled off altogether
He had virtually nothing in his
pitching wing in the fourth when
Jess Haines socked the homer that
accounted for two of the three runs
the Cards got then. He had no more
when he tOiled in the fifth. long
enough to allow the National League
standard bearers their final marker
of the day.
Followers of Bucky Harris club
will recall how Ruether generally
breezed along in fine style for few
frames, then suddenly became in
effective. 1t was hinted at the time
that Ruether's main trouble was lack
of physical stamina. There We're

to go the nineinning route consist
emily. And Dutch did not pitch
many complete games during the
American League campaign this
season.
That Manager Miller Huggins
should select this portsider as q start
ing pitcher was quite surprising TO
many interested in the fortunes of
the Yanks. Before the world title
set began, even American League
if Dutch went to the rubber he would
not remain through five innings.
HOyt Warmed Up Twice.
And they were right. Even Man.
ager Higgins must have doubted the
wisdom of Ruether's selection imme
diately after the start of the fray, for
before the left-hander finished pisching
to the first Cardinal at bat, the New
York pilot hustled the right handler.
Waite Hoyt, to the sideline to warm
up. Hoyt was sent into action in the
bullpen again in the fourth. when the
Cards were taking liberties with
Dutch's filings. but ii was Robert
ShaWkey who was sent to the slab
when Ruether was recalled In the
fifth.
This second guess by Huegins was
much the better. although Bob did not
finish the game. He gave way to a
pinch hitter in the eighth, SO the
youthful Myles Thomas got an op
portunity to crash into a world series
for the first time.
The best thing the Yankees have

prove themselves remarkable dope
crossers. While none of the critics
| before the set began credited the New
York club with being a great ball club
| they did believe the Yankees would
make matters more than interesting

though they had been in a slump for
time, much free hitting by the

clubs. All they got off the right-hand

| But they did not murder Haines.

Dempsey did something of this sort
when he tied up with Roy Cannon,
but the partnership seems to have
been failure.
The advent Of Malone gives rise to
the suspicion that all is not as it
should be between Tunney and his
manager, Billy Gibson. AS pointed
out before. the agreement binding the
pair expired early in the year and
some sort of an agreement was
reached before Tunney was able to
get his license in Philadelphia.
