No, Governor Dixon has no just complaint on this

This policy alone is rObbng the state large sums of

Another interesting fact reference to the policy of the

CLOUDS OVER JESS
 ARE. SILVER LINED

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Tex Rick ard has found q way around the age limit which has been invoked against Jess Willard by the New York Box ing Commission. Rickard bethought himself of the fact that the Jersey commission never did adopt the 37- year age rule. Therefore, there is no written prohibition of the fight in the Big Bowl on Boyle's Thirty Acres and the Jersey Boxing Commission is inclined to stand for Willard. In the meantime, however, Jess prob ably will have to box one of the other heavyweights if one can be found who is willing to work with him, which seems unlikely.
 Notwithstanding the big mans demonstrated unfitness to cope with Dempsey and his long retirement, the objection 10 the match is grad ually diminishing in strength. Will liam Muldoon, the New York com. missioner, author of the age limit regulation, has relented to the extent that he is willing to consider proof of Willard's demand that he is only 36

GOLD MP0RTS
 IN J. 5. DROP
 DU RING 1922
Figures Show 6Z Per Cent of Decrease for Past Year
 India, Canada Profit.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Poscibil- fly of shift in the international move mont of gold resulting some time this year in the gold exports from the United States exceeding imports. is being discussed here on the basis of statistics on gold transfers for the Il months ending November 90 last These transfers made pub lie show that gold imports by the United States for the II months az sregated only $249000,000, a de creace of $411, 100000, or 62 per cent, from the figures for the cor responding period of 1921.
 India and Canada took most of the gold exported by the United States in the period covered by the figures, and it was shown again that the prosperity of both countries was responsible for the purchases Of gold herc.
 Another factor affecting American gold imports is said to be the ex haustton of the Russian gold reserves and the consequent reduction in shipments to the United States by France and Sweden.
 The future action of the gold flow however, will be affected by several other factors, in the opinion of some officials. who mention the "invis- ible export" of gold. such as the vast sums carried abroad by the eyerdncreasing number of tourists the payment of interest to foreign holders of pre-war securities and insurance by foreign companies still operative, and an anticipated in. crease in merchandise exports to the United States from many corners of the globe.
 There is also. it is said. the pc riodical remittance by foreigners now resident here which must be ta. ken into consideration in estimating the outward flow Of gold.

ATHLETES PREPARING
 FOR FAR EAST GAMES

SHANGHAI, Jan. 1S.-Chinese ath- letes of virtually all of the many educational institutions of the coun- try went into training early in the winter in preparation for the Far Eastern games of 1923 that are to be held in Japan next May.
 Elimination meetings at various points are to be held in the coming months and the final rounds of the national competition will be staged in April in Shanghai when the team that will represent China at the games will be selected.
 In the earlier competitions the athletic material in the South is uniting and it is announced that Hongkong and Canton will send a company of eight-odd. including two women tennis aspirants, to Shanghai next spring to compete in the final rounds here.
