The first preliminaries in the races will feature the hockey game at the Arena tonight. ‘There isn't a very claasy array of shortatops lined up for Coast league teams for the coming season, according to present writing in Dame Dope's official notebook. Ernie Johnson of the Bees, Johnny Mitchell of the Tigers, Roy Corhan of the Seals and Sammy Bohen of the Oaks are all flashy players, but that leaves four teams with mediocre men in the shortstop position, All Seattle can claim is sofledinge oi cons ey he Nod pr league baliplayer now. He may be some , bul un. doubtedly won't be one this year, Russ Kingdon, the youngster slated for the Portland shortstop job, may ¢ velop, but he didn’t show much here. Billy Orr of Sacramento and “Bunny” Fabrique of Los Angeles are just average performers. A_good shortstop just about makes « club and if that's the case four Coast league clubs are in the making. Seattle needs some battery men and needs them badly, We havo Promises of two pitchers of class from the big brush but until they come our staff looks about as strong as a canoe would in a tidal wave. Harry Gardner and Claude Thomas are the only pitchers of known ability on the staff. Reiger, Brenton, Schorr and Geary may come thru with the squad lined up behind them, but they don’t class up as first division hurters. And our catching staff at the present ts nil. Rohrer, Tobin and Richie cannot fill the bill. We have moro for » big league catcher, but until they come true our catching staff fooks about as efficient as a sieve would be for serving soup. Coast league baseball fans will watch the work of Bob Mousel with the New York Yankees with more than ordinary Interest this year. Bob graduated from the Vernon club last year tagged the best young prospect turned out by the Coast league in years. He can hit, throw, run and field. All he lacks is experience, He looked like a million dollars here. If Louie Gusito Is lined up to play first base for the Oaks, watch the Acorns this year, They will have one of the strongest punches in the league. Guisto, Zeider, Bohen, Miller, Cooper, Wilie! Boy, what a hitting combination that will be! dack Knight, who played with the locals last year, should be a valuable addition to the Ouks to act in a utility role, Jack's a smart baliplayer and still has a lot of good games left In his system, The Oak hurling staff is weak now, Wonder how many nights a week “Wade” Killefer, Los Angeles pilot, loses sleep wondering whether or not Jack Fournier will return to the fold, Sam Agnew, the veteran catcher, has returned to the Coast league— his first love—after serving several seasons in tho big show. Agnew started out his baseball career as a catcher with Vernon Tigers several years ago and after playing with the St. Louis Browns and Bosten Red Sox under the big tent he has been let out to the San Francisco Seals, Bill Rodgers, Solon skipper, expects Walter Mails, his eccentric southpaw, to be one of the sensations of the league this year, Walter has the stuff and should come thru with flying colors if he will settle down to rent work, but when Walter gets temperamental he's about as usetul to a ball club as a Victrola is to » deaf ostrich, Nick Callop, who was a sensation » couple of years ago with the New York Americans and Federal league, will try » comeback with the Balt Lake Bees. If the lefthander can come thra the Bees may waltz home with the flag, because all that kept them out of running last year was lack of hurlers. But if Cullop can deliver and Leverens comes thru the Boes won't be so bad off on the mound. Al Gould will be back. He's one of the best righthanders in this man's league In our humble opinion. A lot depends upon Cullop’s ability to come back.

The Star herewith presents what Kearns, draft officials of San Francisco, membe: Winsor, Dempsey’s forme: Dempsey’s war record. of Dempsey’s family and Fred manager, have to say about These opinions are not harmonious but so far as is | known they make up the most complete sym; |the facts that have been dragged into the light by the jum of charge of many American Legion posts that Dempsey was a slacker. SALT LAKE REPORT The Salt Lake City correspondent \of The Daily Star wires that Demp sey married Maxine Cates, at Farm- ingham, Utah, in May, 1917, a month after war had been declared, and after it was generally known that married men were to be exempt un- der the draft law. Dempsey divorced his wife in February, 1919, three months after the close of the war. This correspondent also states that secured this information from members of the champion’s family. | WAR ENDS TOO SOON In the readjustment of classifica- tions the Frisco draft board reciassi- fied Dempsey in 1-A, but later put him in 2B. Dario L. Perrone, chair- man of the exemption board at that time, doesn’t remember Dempsey's specific case, In reference to the final classifica, tion of Dempsey Kearns says: “If the conflict had lasted a few weeks longer, it seems a certainty he would have been in uniformed service.” KEARNS EAGER FOR PRINT Jack Kearns’ readiness to rush into print wits long statements as to BOXING FOR WAR FUNDS Jack Kearns states that Dempsey's boxing boosted the war funds $100,000. It is difficult to get at the facts in this case, but these instances have been recorded in the press of the country: Fred Fulton and Dempsey were matched to fight in New Jersey, Ten days before Dempsey was to appear against Billy Miske in a war fund entertainment at Madison Square Garden, New York, Dempsey clomned promise. able to appear against Fulton. Another time Dempsey had agreed to box Battling Levinsky in a Knights of Columbus entertainment in Brooklyn. Rut he didn’t box Le vinsky. Billy Miske instead boxed Levinsky. Dempsey sparred a few rounds with Clay Turner, one of his own sparring partners, Kearns says Dempsey’s presence added $15,000 to the house. Billy Miske was much freer with his services than was Dempsey. However, there is no doubt but that Dempsey helped to raise con- siderable money for war funds. Kearns claims that an exhibition between Willie Meehan, the Frisco fat boy, and Dempsey, added $26,000 to war funds, KEARNS AND HOG. “Dempsey made no claims for exemption.”—Jack Kearns. “I secured his questionnaire and read it thoroly, HE HAD SET FORTH THREE CLAIMS FOR EXEMPTION, having been helped in doing so by » member of the local advisory board, He was a married man, He was sup- porting his parents.
