YEARLY averages
OF The TRAP shooters

A number Of local trapshooters
having asked on what basis yearly
averages are determined. we print
the rules of the Interstate Associ-
alton, covering the point:
The yearly averages in 1914, for
both amateurs and professionals,
shall be computed on 1000 or more
single targets shot from the standard
distance fixed by the Interstate As
sociation (the distance being 16
yards), and this only at Registered
Tournaments and the tournaments
directly given by the Interstate Asso-
citation.
1T shall at a registered tourna-
ment not be obligatory for a con-
testant TO shoot in all events. to have
his score count in the average, but
the records made in every event in
which he participates at said tourna-
ment shall count in his yearly aver
age. II a contestant voluntarily
withdraws from an event after start
ing in It and does not shoot at the
total number of targets called for by
said event, such unshot targets shall
be scored as lost targets.
Scores made by contestants,
whether amateurs or professionals,
who stand at the 16-yard mark in
handicap events shall not be counted
in the yearly averages"

Moran Picks Himself As
Next Heavyweight Champion

No man can follow the primrose path
lhe said that-Moran's a college pro
duct) and be there as a fighter. John
sons had his day. / am young, have
lived clean, have all my energy aud
will use my head in the mill. rll cut
him down.
"Another thing. Johnson's the cham
pion He'll have TO lead TO me. He
thinks Pm going to carry the fight to
him and let him pick me TO pieces with
counters, he's got another guess coming.
Pm going to fight my fight not his
fight. He may lead me for the first
few rounds, but when the finish comes
I'll be on top
Moran certainly looks good. He has
clearly trained hard and faithfully and
as good a Judge of what fighters should
be as Willie Lewis is enthusiastic over
his condition. Personally l would not
care to predict what Moran will dc
with johnson. Men who know him
well say he is an in-and-outer. II he
has one of his good turns on when he
meets johnson he may win, but my i'm.
preston is that he will need every ounce
of skill, strength and determination he
possesses to trim the big black cham
pion of them all.
Reports were in circulation here today
that Johnson had been offered biz
money by a gambling syndicate to I'll,
down" to Moran and that the champion
had refused. It is mighty doubtful il
any such offer was made. There is moi
enough betting on the mill to warrant
the payment of such a sum as woulC
tempt Johnson. Odds today were gen
eral at l2 to ! that the black viii
win but perhaps less money has ncvel
been wagered on big fight than this
one is calling out.
Some few short end fanciers hav,
picked Moran to win They back thei
faith on his ability to keep away from
Johnson's uppercuts for ten or twelve
rounds. After that, they believe Mo
rams clean living and better stamina
will tell.

who continued through the second
game.
Sharpe was responsible for many
runs and made good in pinches with
4 constancy that was pleasing to the
assembled fans.

PARIS. June 24.-If Frank Moran OF
Pittsburgh is not heavyweight champion
of the world after he meets Jack John
son here Saturday night, the aforesaid
Frank will be much surprised. It's true,
Moran thinks he'll win-really thinks
so or I'm no judge.
Moran was tapering of in his train
ing today when ! went out to see him
at Butry- PLACE. He looked fine,
strong, active and with the clear-eye
and rosy skin of the well-trained fighter.
After / looked him over / really thought
myself that, perhaps, he can bring home
the bacon-about Sl,OO0,O0O worth
when he meets the big black. And he
sure thinks so.
Tom Kennedy Of New York; Willie
Lewis, the old-time scrapper from the
East Side and Jimmy Hatton were on
the Job TO give Moran his workout to-
day. Lewis, quick, active, a real
boxer, had mighty little on Moran when
they SPARED. Neither Kennedy or Hat
ton showed anything like the white
hopes strength
Moran was lightning fast on his feet,
he boxed so well that Lewis rarely
landed q glove on him and he stood up
TO Kennedy and Hatton with stid
short arm lefts which made them back
away early in the rounds. This short
arm left to the body, Moran says, is
the blow which will beat Johnson. He
thinks that Johnson's dissipated life
must have got TO his stomach and be-
lieves that II he sank his big freckled
fist once OF twice into Johnson's mid
riff the negro will soon forget all his
cleverness and be easy picking.
There's a lot of people who think
johnson can't be beaten Moran said
TO me "Well, they thought that of John
L. Sullivan, didn't theyl But Corbett
turned the trick. They thought jeff
ries was cinch at Reno didn't they ?
And you heard Of what happened there.
It's the same thing with Johnson now.

curity. Banking facilities are still
sparse, and il would be surprising II
Indians did not hoard.
But boarding does not necessarily
mean burying In the ground or con.

though these practices are doubtless
extensive. ]. NJ. Keynes. a member
of the commission, tells story Of q

boards currency notes In his roof.
Once week he retires privily and

move the damp. A very large pro

The testimony of experts Is most
conflicting concerning the uses to
which gold shipped to India Is put.
Some say II Is boarded. while few
are ready TO prove by formidable ar
ray OF statistics that II cannot be ex-
tensively boarded. Those who believe
that India possesses vast store of
boarded treasure make the widest
guesses at its probable total The
most popular estimate Of the boarded
wealth Of India puts the total at
600, 000, 900, which would amount to
Fl per head of the population: but
some credible estimates are far high
er. The experts quarrel, again, about
the probable effect of midas absorb
ton OF gold upon the worlds money
markets and the prices of commodi-
ties. Some say that all gold-using
countries benefit thereby. while 9TH
ers, such as Sir Edward Holden, ep-
pear to hold the "the drain Of gold
to India is a potential menace. The
commission, while declining to In.
dorse either of these mutually de-
structiye contentious. has declared in
effect that an increased use of gold
in India should not in future be en-
couraged by the government, but In
tiia already seems disposed to resent
this recommendation.
Whether gold is boarded in India
or not is really question of terms
All nations hoard gold upon occasion
If England were threatened with {
great war tomorrow we may depend
upon It that there would be rusf
for gold on the part of those people
who possessed both foresight and |
