- CRUSES TALK By DAVIS i. WALSH. WEW YORK. Dec. 19.— I Sport critics today I are writing tlie epl legalized ■ ^^^BB boxing In New York B state as a result of _ the solemn decision of a referee anti two Judges that Johnny Dundee had beaten Jack Bernstein for the junior light weight championship on Monday night. The decision is re ii’rred to as the worst of many had ones rendered since the Walker law came Into effect some four years ago. It Is said that one of the first rem edial steps to be taken by the state uthletie commission will he a demand upon Tex Rickard to drive the gam blers out of Madison Square Garden. The effect was to send the odds of N to 5 on Bernstein tumbling to even money, and at one stage of the proceedings, to 6 to 5 on Dundee, It is understood that Rickard has pledged himself to drive the gamblers out of the Garden, as he did on the occasion of the Britton-Walker bout for the middleweight title, an affair that saw the odds fluctuate so sharp ly that the commission declared all bets off. Asked If he would match Dundee and Bernstein again, Rickard gave vent to an emphatic "Never, there might have been a riot on Monday. Meantime it is understood that the commission will ask for suggestions .on the rendering of decisions in the #*^Iuture and one of them, coming from many sources, demands the abolition of Judges and the constitution of the referee as the sole arbiter as in the days of the Frawley law.

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 19.—Henry Ford today declared he, "like a great majority of the American people,” feels that the country Is "safe with Coolidge" and that he himself would never consider running against Mr. Coolidge on any ticket. , "I believe it Is the wise and natural thing for the people to agree on the nomination and election of Mr. Cool idge," Mr. Ford said. "I am satisfied that 90 per cent of the people feel perfectly safe with Cooli<bie, and I feel, too, that the country Is perfect ly safe with him. And If this Is the feeling of the country, why change?" Has Pleased Countrymen. "Mr. Coolidge has shown in these months of service a great many qual ities that should please his country men. I think they all feel that Mr. C6olidge means to do right. And when a man means to do right, so far as I have observed, it is usually quite easy for him to find the way to do right. "Some people seem disturbed over the conditions which business will face during the presidential year. Of course, there must be an election. But there is no reason why business should be disturbed by it if the peo ple, by common consent, agree they will hold to a good man while they have him. Public sentiment can be so formed long before the election that there need be no doubt about the elec tion. "In addition to considering the In terests of the people, we should con sider the Interests of the president, as head of the American government. President Coolidge has a position of the highest responsibility. He should not feel compelled to take any of his time or strength for any sort of poll ticial campaigning, and for the sake of the country as well as for his own sake, he should not have to do so.” Not Bothering. Asked concerning the use of his own name in connection with the presidency,* Mr. Ford said: “No man has a right to say he will never consider public office, nor ac cept public office. No man can pre dict his own acts and feelings ao strongly as that. But this I will say. that I would never for a moment think of running against Calvin Coolidge for president, on any ticket whateevr. In this present situation I am for Coolidge.” Regarding the numerous Ford for President organizations and the re cent Ford conference held here, per sons dose to the automobile manufac turer said he had given them "not half a moment's thought.” “It tvas something Mr. Ford could not call in the police to stop,” one official asserted, "so the club con tinued to function, although none of them has the sanction or support of Mr. Ford.” By AMorlatmi Prwi.
