U. S. Boxing Rules
Supplant British
BY ARTHUR BELL.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa,
January 30.-Due to the over
whelming success of visiting
American boxers in this country,
the South African professional con-
te2ts will be fought under the rules
of the New York State Boxing Com
mission, instead of the National
Sporting Club of London, as hitherto.
The decision has raised storm of
protest from referees and judges of
the sporting organization on the
ground that American rules favor
fighting rather than boying.
The retort is that South Africans
will never achieve real success until
they discard the methods that retard
British boxing.

Night Has Bearing on Title.
Howard Universitys basket ball team
will journey TO Baltimore tomorrow
night to play the strong Morgan College
quInt. Morgan is contender for the
c. l. A. A. title and has a clean slate
for the season, including a victory over
the fast going Lincoln Lions. Howard
with one defeat is travelling at fast
clip and has a little matter to settle
with the Baltimore team which is bound
to add zest to the battl2.
Seldom have Morgan Howard basket
ball games aroused the interest which
is being conferred on tomorrow's clash,
the outcome of which will have much
to do with the c. I. A. A. 1881 cham
pionship.
The Bisons are severely handicapped
by the absence of BeaSl:y, center and
captain. Wood, a newcomer, is doing
fine work in substituting for him.
Micky Syphax, forward, is on the
sick list. He is one of the fastest men
on the squad and seemed the backbone
of the Bisons' attack
Hall and Williamson, forwards; Wood
or Taylor, center, and Smith. Taylor
and Swift in guards, will be Howard
dependables. A large group of Howard
followers will accompany the team to
Baltimore.

ST|MSON TO HAVE
OFFICE ON LINER
Special Communication Fa-

Touch With Debt Situation.
By the Associated press.

NEW YORK, June 27.--A special Of
flce for Henry L. Stimson on the steam
ship Conte Grande will be busy Tor the
next week. The Secretary OF state
few from Washington last evening 10
take the liner for Europe at noon, New
York time, today.
He came. to Mitchell Field in an
Army airplane piloted by Lieut.: Louis
M. Merrick. He left shortly after by
motor for his Summer home, at Cold
Spring Harbor.
Secretary Stimson was optimistic
concerning an international agreement
on the proposed debt and reparations
moratorium as he sailed. During his
trip he Is expected TO join forces with
Secretary Of the Treasury Andrew w.
Mellon in urging Europe TO accept the
Hoover plan.
IT have been asked to comment on
last nights vote of the French Chamber
Of Deputies and decline, except TO say
that am very optimistic as to the ul-
innate result" he declared.
This statement, which was the only
one he would make TO reporters who
boarded the liner to question him, was
interpreted as q denial Of q statement
attributed to him q few hours earlier.
In the earlier report he had been quoted
as saying last nights vote OF confidence
by the French legislators was q clear
indication that France and the United
States would reach q satisfactory agree
ment Oh the debt and reparatiOns mora
torium.
He plans to visit Rome, Paris, Ber-
lin and London and to do some grouse
shooting in Scotland. 1t is believed he
will confer with various foreign min
listers concerning President Hoover's
proposed suspension of war debts for .
year.
The ONCE has special communica-
ton facilities for Mr.. Stimson so he
can keep in touch readily with inter-
national developments during the trip
TO Naples. Accompanying him are Allen
T. Klots, his special assistant; Capt.
Eugene A. Regnier, u. s. A., his mil
itary aide, and George A. Morlock, code

One Of the sharpest commentators,

is within the realm Of possibilities that
general discussion Of all political
problems will take place this Summer
Secretary Stimson'S visit to Europe Is
regarded as an indication that he will
be there ready to help the nations
which may be anxious TO settle their
political troubles.
1t appears that the loan granted to
Germany by International banks re-
moves the question OF immediate neces-
