Johnny Howard the Bayonne mid Cleweight who meets Bud" Connors in one of the three fifteen round bouts scheduled for Saturday afternoon at o'clock at Walnut Beach announced that he has just been notified by his manager that he has been matched to meet Jack Dillon at Memphis, Tenn, on August IS. Howard has already boxed two ten round bouts with Dillon and has the honor of being the only man that has ever scored a knock down over the "Mankiller." Howard before accepting the Dillon match had best await the outcome of his bout with Connors. Connors who is known ae a rugged willing and aggressive mixer has met some of the best Yrliddleweights in the game and has yet to taste defeat. Howard has not boxed in a few months but for the fast three weeks has been rounding into shape in Stratford.

Washington July 27-Because of re- ports from consular offices all over the world that an increasing number of destitute American merchant sailors have applied to them for aid, the state department issued a suggestion today to all Americans signing on foreign vessels that they ascertain whether the shipping articles provide for their return to the United States.
 Though consuls som etimes can aid stranded sailors in obtaining passes home, usually they can be of no as- sistance as no funds have been pro- vided by congress.

: COLUMBIA ROWING
 OUTLOOK CLOUDED
Crew Men Eager to Know Rice's YieWS-SOme Alumni PeSSimiStiC

New York, July 26.-A1umni and undergraduates of Columbia Univer- sity, especially those interested in the rowing controversy of the past two weeks, are waiting with interest to learn the attitude Coach James C. Rice will take in the new turn of affairs. Although it was voted at last weeks meeting at the Columbia Uni- versity club that active mem bership be retained in the Intercollegiate Rowing association and that Colum bia enter crews in the POughkeepsie re- gatta next year, as usual a mem Der Of the Rowing club, which auto matica1ly went out of existence at last weeks meeting, said yesterday that there was serious doubt whether the new program would go through according to the plans of the en- Hhusiastic alumni.
 There are many who believe that after an exhaustive investigation is held in the fall there will yet be a serious question whether Colum bia will continue four-mile rowing. The expenses of maintaining a crew at Morningside Heights have been very large during the last decade and the greater part of the costs have been incidental to the annual entry in the Poughkeepsie event, involving the maintenance of luxurious quarters at Krum Elbow, across from the town of Poughkeepsie, where a staff of cooks, porters, and boatmen is main tained for about four weeks.
 7 Moreover, the salary paid to Coach Rice is known to be one of the r, Op o1 in the country. Although Rice is under contract to remain at Columbia until 1921, with an option until 1926, this same group of alumni that prophecy .that Columbia will withdraw from the Poughkeepsie regatta also declare that the wishes of Coach Rice will be granted and that he will be released from his contract.
 Coach Rice has put the proposition up to the rowing authorities in a unique way. He does not openly as- sert that conditions are not to his liking, although he has at times ex- pressed dissatisfaction with the small Plumber of candidates for the crew. But his main appeal this summer for a release has been based on his state ment that he needs 9 change. In one of his proposals to the Columbia au- thorities he asked for a leave of ab- sence for two years, during which time he could either go to any other uni versity that wanted him, or return to his former home in Toronto. He has said that he has got into "rut'' and ~ that a year or two away from the 1 lower Hudson would be of infinite l value to himself as coach and to the | Columbia crew in general
 At present Columbia rowing affairs 1 are in the same condition as they were i tefore any attempt was made to with 1 draw from the Intercollegiate Rowing 1 association. Although there are few who insist that the Colun bia authori- | ties will want to retain Rice if he con- tinues in his petition for release, one of the prevailing ideas is that with the promised revival in the fall and the enthusiasm which will accompany it Rice will discontinue his efforts to leave and will be anxious to get to work with the revitalized rowing situation on Morningside Heights.
