BIG ROWING EVENTS
ON NEXT SEASON
The Case of the Red sox.

That rowing will be back to its
former standard next season Is the
opinion of Claude R. Zappone, treas
urer Of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen.
Zappone has been an officer in the
governing organization for many
years and has been a prime mover in
the national regattas, as well as the
mainstay Of rowing in this section.
While Zappcne would not assert
that the abolishing Of the national
and other events this year was a
mistake. he declared that ii was the
sense Of the meeting that the sport
should be put back on its old footing
just as soon as possible.
While, Of course. nothing can be
done on large scale until next year,
there may be some small regattas this
season, probably a Labor Day event
at Boston. New York. Philadelphia.
and Duluth may also stage some sort
OF competition.
There is no chance of Washington
crews taking part in any competition.
An EFFORT was made earlier in the
season to get Baltimore and Rich
mond clubs to participate in a regattz
with the Potomacs. but they were not
In receptive mood.

New York, Aug. 15-"Dummy''
Evans, a deaf-mute boxer, is dead to-
day. and George Brown, another

of preliminary bout before a fight

blow on the jaw. The deaf mute
shook hands with his opponent and
left the ring Immediately. He col
lapsed in his dressing room and died

A LLOYD GEORGE
YOUNG MAN"
CBy Associated Press.)

N@N@ ~~~N~ASSC1 A4CEG-y
London, April Cone of Lloyd
Georges young men," as they call the
group of business men whom the
premier has brought into his cabinet,
is Albert H. Hlingworth, the postmas-
ter general. Old politicians were not
a little surprised at his appointment,
for he was unknown In the political
world a year ago. Mr.. Illingworth is
the head of one of the largest worsted
spinning firms in England and of a
large French firm of woolcombers
whose works have been almost
Destroyed by the German army.
Financially, Mr.. Illingworth has been
one OF the heaviest sufferers in Eng
land from the war.
AS postmaster general OF Great
Britain he administers the largest
state-owned business in the world. The
British postoffice has charge of all
telephones and telegraphs, distributes
pensions and separation allowances,
collects revenues and taxes of various
kinds, and is an important cog in the
machinery Of issuing government
loans.
The postoffice employs in normal
times about 100000 persons. It's saw
ings bank department has 10000 900
depositors and about $1,000, 000,0 900 in
deposits. 1t has sold War Savings
Certificates to a total Of nearly ST.
00O, 000, 900. The army postoffice serv-
ice alone employs about 1000 men, and
handles 100000 letters and parcels
every week.
Mr.. Illingworth is the first postmas-
ter general ever appointed in Great
Britain with virtually no parliament
tary experience. In the opinion of
Lloyd George business experience
and aptitude are the master qualifica-
tions." Mr.. Illingworth, although a
great disciple of efficiency" is not a
revolutfonist, but he has already found
occasion to put some rather startling
changes into effect.
