HOOVER TO Be MUM
UNTIL |NAUGUR|ATED.
President-EIect Determined
Not to Interfere With Cool
idge Completing Term.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Herbert Hoover, President-elect, will
make no public statement of policy and
no speeches of any kind from now until
the day he delivers his inaugural ad-
dress.
This was the word conveyed here to-
day. It means that the PreSident-elect
has determined to do nothing to dnter-
fere in any way with the completion
bv President Coolidge OF his term and
that any conferences which are held
here prior to Inauguration will be in
formal and of an advisory character:
Mr.. Hoover will stick to his role OF
private citizen, consulting with leaders
and gathering information for use after
March 4.
Good Will Speeches Made.
Mr.. Hoover's speechmaking on the
South American trip was confined TO
messages of good will and were not
intended as indications Of particular
trend in foreign policy. One newspaper
interview in which Mr.. Hoover said
that he did not favor intervention in
| the affairs of Pan-American countries
was construed as a rebuff toward the
Coolidge policy in Nicaragua but it was
not so intended. Mr.. Hoover as men,
| Der of the Coolidge cabinet has approved
| the Coolidge foreign policy.

| States under Mr. Hoover in Central
and South America will be what it has

territory. the withdrawal from Cuba and
Mexico being cited as sufficient proof
that the United States has acted sim

Trip Boon to Future.
The trip of Mr.. Hoover to South
America will, nevertheless, play an I'M
po~tant part in future relations because
many of the past disputes have been
due to a lack Of understanding. If not
Of cordiality. between governments
The policy of the United States has
frequently been left uninterrupted ir
situations in which it was open tc
criticism Mr. Hoover has managed, by
his trip to get more space in the South
American newspapers giving the Ameri-
can viewpoint and conception OF rela-
, tionS between sovereign peoples than Il
has been possible to get when isolated
cases of friction arose.
, Mr.. Hoovers good will tour is re-
garded here as the forerunner OF other
; trips by the new Executive looking
toward the same result 1t would no

Perhaps Bay Barbuti will do

The Syracuse star Is regarded
by track experts - the one
quarter.miler of today who has
the speed and strength needed
to crack the Al 2-5 seconds rec.
ord made by Meredith.
Barbuti looks to be there this
year. He ran consistently last
season around IS seconds in the
440 and won Several important
meets. He is q candidate for
this years Olympic team and
has little fear that he won't
make it. And II he does-well,
he may crack Meredith's record
at Amsterdam.

TEX RICHARD MAY
Use BOYLE'S 80
ACRES FOR SCRAP
Ring Mogul's Struggle With
Gotham Commission May
Force Him to Old Site
BY ALAN ]. GOULD
Associated Press Shorts Editor


New York, March 28.-tR-The
campaign to make New York safe
from the devastating influence of a
heavyweight championship fight
seems likely to be successful again.
The struggle between the boxing
commission, on the one hand, and
Tex Rickard and the heavyweight
champion, on the other, faces an.
other deadlock, seemingly designed
to force the promoter to other fields.
The only difference between the
present dispute and those Of the
previous few years is that the 1928
fistic follies are being staged earlier
than usual. In the past they have
been reserved for summer view.
The probability is that Richard,
although ostensibly planning to hold
the big title fight or fights in New
York this year by leasing the two
ball parks, all along has had an eye
peeled to windward.
Back to Boylc's
Chicago and Philadelphia, as well
as Baltimore and Windsor, Canada,
have made overtures for a cham
pionship fight but New Jersey, site
Of Richards first .'battle Of the
century" in 1921, looms as the like
~ battle-ground if Tunney is to de-
fend his crown anywhere outside Of
Gotham.
Jersey boxing laws have been
changed this year to provide for Is
round bouts to decision, the same
as in New York. Boyle's thirty
acres, the once historic wooden
saucer across the river. is no more
but Richard is understood to have
discussed plans for erecting a big
concrete Arena in Jersey. Thus,
he figures. q threat Of taking his
big money shots" outside New
York might help produce a more
compromising attitude by the Metro
politan boxing authorities. So far,
however, such threats haven't made
Roadway against the three Moguls
who sit in state in the Flatiron
building.
What to Do?
AS Manager Bucky Harris rests
an injured ankle he may be making
up his mind what to do, if anything,
with Joe Judge, now one Of two
first class first sackess on the
roster Of the Washington Senator's.

to conclude that he has succeeded
