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.

Ford Will Not
Fight Coolidge
on Any Ticket
Declares He, “Like a Large
Majority of People,” Bet
lieves Country Safe in
Present Hands.
By Associated Fma.
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.”

Omaha Bee-World Theater Free Christmas Party for Kids Monday
Actor Pays Penalty for
Street Impersonations
Karyl Norman, woman Impersona
tor, appearing at the Orpheum thea
ter thie week, proved himself as
brave as a man during hie perform
ance Tuesday night. The actor was
suffering with a swollen throat and
had a temperature of 103 degrees, j
He appeared on the bill against the
advice of his physician.
Norman tried to sing in his high
soprano voice, although each high
note meant sharp pain. The physi
cian waited off stage for his patient
and coated the actor's throat with a
medicine during each song interval1
to help kill the pain.
“The act must go on,” declared
Norman. The cause of the throat
ailment was a severe cold that the
actor caught when he went shopping
in woman’s clothes and returned to
find his dressing room door locked.
An interesting fact concerning the ap
pearance of fcStuart Walker's Portmanteau

ing withdrawn from the New York cast

ner New York engagements Hhe has fre.
quently posed for artists whose work
appears on the magazine covers. There
will be a special Christmas matinee per
formance of "Llghtnin*." Seats for

BOOTH TARRINGTON Talking:
When a picture’s pathos makes a group of news
paper reporters cry visibly and sniffle audibly as
"Boy of Mine” did last night, and then bring
ghrieks of delighted laughter from everybody the
producer ought to be satisfied. The picture is so
dignified and yet so humorous—so touching and
yet so immensely truthful—that any writer might
indeed be pleased to have his name associated
with it. I congratulate you most heartily.
Thus Does an Author Praise a Picture.
