The boxer said: T understand it is an institution, to make, about this time of year, a resolution.
 o o
 We'll, resolve, that henceforth will ask no fancy purses. Hence forth I'll fight for sous or marks, or cen sesterces.'
 His manager o'erheard his words. and ran in all excited. and on charge of boobery. had him indicted.
 Pity poor Benny Leonard. He languishes alone and spends most of his days in idleness.
 O
 There is no work for the eager champion to perform-work, that is, which is fitting for a pugilisuc laurel crowned hero to perform.
 Out in San Francisco, since the wave of crime that centered around a group of box fighters, there is talk of forcing all the box ing gentry to go to work; to have some visible means of support above and beyond their income for taking part in the four rounders out in that neck of the woods. That notion has not gone east or tne Rockies, so in most spots, and espe- cially in New York, it is still not con- sidered chubby for professional boxers and, above all, champions-to work
 o
 Leonard wants to work-in the ring-and can't. In the olden days boxers used to fight for the fun of it. No moreno less.
 o o O
 Billy Gibson, Leonard's manager. E so distressed at the state of affairs that he has sent broadcast a stinginG indictment of the lightweight cohort.
 He says Lew TendIer demanded $50,000 to box Leonard. Willie Jackson wouldn't take $30,000 for the same job. Johnny Dundee also asked S30,00O. and Richie Mitchell refused $12,ooo and held out for S2o,00o.
 Perhaps the boys figure it Is worth bonue to meet Leonard
 The time may come when boxers will be willing to display their wares at a reasonable price. Maybe then d fan will be able to see good card of bouts for 50 cents or a dollar
 A boxing bout is good entertain ment, but the prices are all out of whack.

All Gunners May
 Now Compete At
 Registered Target

Registered targets have been carr1ed to the front door of every clay target shooter in the United States, Canada and the canal zone by recent ruling of the American Trapshooting asso- citation, the national governing body of the sport This has been accom- plished by registering Cor granting sanction for) the weekly semi month ly or monthly club shoots of organiza- tions where clay target shooting is en- joyed.
 7 In previous years tournaments alone were registered. A tournament is rather an ambitious undertaking. It lasts at least one full day, and fre- quently occupies a full week. Pro- grams are printed and mailed to sportsmen in all sections of the United States and Canada who travel a con siderable distance to win the handsome trophies offered for competition. and also possibly certain championship honors.
 A club shoot, however, is seldom more than the regular weekly, semi monthly or monthly gathering of the trapshooters of a city. town or com munity who shoot among themselves fun of it." In the past, club shoots never have been registered by the A. T. A.
 The new policy is to meet the uni versal demand for more opportunities to shoot at registered targets. A trap shooting organization is not permitted to register a tournament unless it is prepared to comply with certain con ditions. In sparsely settled sections of the United States and Canada. or states and provinces where trapshoot- | ing organizations are few and far be-
 tween, sportsmen who enjoy the clay | target game find it difficult to attend
 more than one or two registered tour ! naments, which means that they can l shoot at not more than 500 registered targets in a season. Although the | yearly average on registered targets | is to be computed on not less than | 1000 targets Git was 2000 targets in l 1920) many ardent devotees of the l sport may find it impossible to get 1 their names in the official average list l by tournament shooting.
 l However. with the registration oi i club shoots. every man who blazSs away at clay targets will find it possi-
 ble to shoot at 1000 targets. and more l A club may get sanction for not less | than 6. nor more than 24 of the weekly l club fixtures. These contests for the 1 nome folks" will be conducted under 1 the same rules and regulations as reg l istered tournaments, and the scores will be mailed to A. T. A. headquarters
 in New York. and included in the gen eral averages with the scores made a
 tournaments.
 A registered club shoot may not las
 more than one day, and not more thar 100. nor less than 50 targets, may bt registered A sub- committee of tho ! A. T. A., composed of Stoney Moline
