1856 CAST VOTES"

10000 Persons Sought by
Organization.

Every contribution in SUPPORT of
the work of the Associated Charities
and Citizens Relief Association re-
ceived at the Social Service House
headquarters, 1929 Eleventh street, is
being counted as one more ballot
cast in favor of the society's con-

Here is one kind of voting where
repeaters" are welcome Any gift

from those who are giving for the
first time this year, will be counted

7.40O Voted Inst Year.
Last year there We're exactly 7,4OO
financial ballots" of this sort cast.
They came from 5,396 individuals. 81
churches and SO clubs, societies or
other organizations. This made a
total of 1854 contributions eliminat-
ing the applications The fact that
these 1854 contributors made 7,4OO
contributions during the year shows
the number of "repeaters."
Many of these Implications were
due to the fact that those who gave
toward the S55,0O0 needed for the
general work of these societies also
gave in the Summer toward the sup

day that nothing new has definitely
been decided on
Mr. Eldridge held a conference last
night and will hold others during the
next few days with the advisory COM
mittee that is to assist him in rewrit-
ing the present set of regulations. At
the first conference no conclusions
were reached, but general exchange
of views was had on all important
questions.
No time Will be lost, however, in
drafting the revised rules, since 1t is
expected they Will be promulgated by
the Commissioners in May
We expect to give Washington the
best headlight law in the country
Mr.. Eldridge said today, in discussing
that question. I'VE probably will
have testing boards erected at desig-
mated places, where a motorist could
drive up at any time and determine
whether his lights are in compliance
with the regulation"
Special Uniform Considered.
The traffic. director also said today
he is sidering~ the desira bility of
a new style of uniform for traffic Off

might favor allowing traffic officers
to remove their coats in Summer and
wear a uniform blouse.
Corporation Counsel Stephens said
today the Commissioners could enact
a regulation giving the right of way
to pedestrians. at crossings and to We
hicles in the middle of the block.
The corporation counsel also said,
however, that he did not believe the
Commissioners could enact an ordi-
nance that would automatically place
the burden of proof on a motorist
striking a pedestrian at an interseo,
ton.
A right -of- way rule for. pedestrians
at crossings, he said, would have the
same status as the present rule, which
gives the vehicle on the right the
right of way over other vehicles at
an intersection. In all such cases,
Mr. stephens said, the facts in each
accident would have to be taken into
account in determining negligence.
VIII Consult Judges.
A conference for the purpose of dis
cuSsing various phases of the new
traffic law and to bring about CO.
operation in putting the act into full
operation will be held this afternoon
by Mr.. Eldridge and the four judges
of Police Court.
Mr. Eldridge said that he requested
the meeting with the judges in order
to go over all questions of impor-
tance in connection with the new
traffic law He said his aim also was
to bring about full cooperation in
adopting methods of procedure in
making the law effective. The con-
ference, which will be informal, will
be attended by Judges Schuldt, Nc
Mahon, Macdonald and Hit.

is the most promising contender for
the middleweight title. When he
stopped Johnny Wilson. the former
champion. last year in Madison
Square Garden. he looked to be the
finest prospect that has arrived in
years. A contest between Greb and
Flowers would be one OF the real
events of the year and Greb might
surprise the critics who feel that
Flowers could beat him. 1t is i'm.
possible to figure Greb.
Benny Leonard's future as the
lightweight champion, depends en-.
upon his ability to make the weight.
II Leonard wants to defend his
title and II he can make 1876 pounds
without hurting himself. there Is no
challenger in the class who can beat
him.
Sonny Mandeil and Sid ferris are
two of the most promising young
lightweights and they could give the
real Leonard a great fight, but It ia
unlikely that they could knock him
out, unless he has o n back as far
as some rather good critics belize
he has. v
Kid KRplan, the survivor of the
tournament promoted by the New
York commission TO find a successor
TO Johnny Dundee. probably will be
accepted generally as the feather.
weight champion. Kaplan surely
would be regarded as the champion,
for he has defeated every legitimate
challenger in a fashion that left no
doubt as TO his class. Kaplan is
a great puncher and a real fighter.
and It was the ear OF his challenge
that made Dundee admit that he
couldn't mike the weight and be
good and forced him to resign as the
champion.
Eddie Martin. who relieved Abe
Goldstein as the bantam champion,
Just before the end OF the year,
ought to last at least one yea as
a champion. He probably will be
careful of his title and will want to
make as much money out OF It as he
can and he hardly will be in any
danger as the division is very short
of class.
Mickey Walker should have an.
other good year. The lightweight
champion has been accused OF run.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-Two new
champions started the year as class
title holders and several others
crown transfers will be events OF
the year II some of the indolent hold
over champions car be forced into
action.
It is improbable that the heavy.
weight crown will be removed from
the head OF Jack Dempsey. not only
because he is without a dangerous
challenger. but for the reason that
he seems to have decided upon an
unofficial retirement.
Intimate friends OF the heavy.
weight champion are authority for
the belief that he has tired of the
game and that he would have an
nounced his retirement before this
time II he did not have to lose the
outside the ring revenue that the
champion title carries with II.
II Jack Dempsey does defend his
title. this year, It probably will be
against Tom Gibbons, who has
proved himself to be the legitimate
challenger. Gibbons lasted fifteen
rounds with Dempsey in the mem.
orable Shelby fight. and II they
should meet again It is almost a
cinch that Gibbons would not make
a poorer showing than he did on the
occasion OF their first meeting. Glib.
bona probably would make a better
showing, because he has been nc.
tfvely engaged IN the ring for the
year and a half during which Demp-
sey has had the gloves on only for
exhibition work. Gibbons also is
heavier than he was two years ago
and It was the lack OF ~poundage
more than anything else that kept
him from doing more damage than
he did to Dempsey in Shelby.
II Gibbons is not successful IN
getting a return match with Demp.
sey he plans TO go after the light
heavyweight championship. He al.
ready has challenged Gene Tunney.
the Americvan champion. through
the official channels of the New
York Boxing Commission, and Tun.
ney viii have to accept the challenge
or surrender his title. Gibbons said
after his recent victory over KID
Norfolk that he didn't like the idea
Of making 175 pounds. as he had to
weaken himself TO get down 10 tho
limit. but even in a weakened con.
dition he could beat Tunney.
Mike McTigue has been IN hiding
with the worlds light heavyweight;
Championship and he will not crawl
put OF his shell this year unless he
- forced 10 defend his title. There
is nc known way Of forcing him.
There arc several light heavyweights
who could beat McTigue II they were
given the chance.
Against the opinion OF many Of
tho experts. Harry Greb managed to
survive 1924 ms the middleweight
champion. and he may last another
year. Greb is a real marvel Of the
ring and n fighting champion. He
has done 80 much work. however
that no may go the way OF Johnny
Dundee who burned out almost
over night and had TO resign as the
featherwelght champion.
