CHICAGO. May 12.-Jim Shaw. who
won the opening game from She White
Sox. is slightly i'll today as result
Of drinking too much of the water
supplied to the Griffmen by the Chi
cago club, and Manager Griffith is
up in arms about It.
Many of the players refused to drink
the water offered them. and Trainer
Martin was sent to enter a protest to
Manager Rowland, of the White Sox.
The latter remarked that 1t was the
best he could give the Grffmen." /"
Owing to his extraordinary exertlons,
Shaw was inclined to drink more than
the others. and today he is paying for
1t. He was sick all last night. and
did not appear for breakfast this
morning.
"Shaw's illness Is not serious says
Trainer Martin. but his stomach is

Fisher must have backed up two miles

took off his glove. 1t was found that he
had broken his wrist.
When the Atlantic feet was at Cuba
many boxing bouts were held. One Of
the titles decided there was for the
light heavyweight championship. It
was Davis who won 1t. A fellow by
the name Of Fritz previously held IT..
but he was paid off," so 1t was neces-
sary to secure a new hampton.
The bout in which Davis won tho
title was held on one OF the rife ranges
at Guantanamo Bay. and was witness
ed by 10000 people.
Taylor didn't have much trouble win
ming from Davis. He landed hard on
Davis stomach in the first round. and
after that 1t was necessary for his sec
onds to work diligently on his legs be-
tween every round. He took an awful
pounding in the stomach, and did well
to last the limit.

Sailors Box for Titles

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE first open
air boxing since the Horton law days
was held in this city when bouts were
staged on the hattleship Michigan, and
they were held under the auspices Of

featherweight champions Of the Atlantic
fleet. now anchored in the North river,
were decided In the former class Sam
Taylor. of the Michigan, won from
Mike Davis, OF the New Hampshire. and
Dennis Whalen, Ct the Michigan, de-
feated Joe Fisher. Of the South Caro-
lima. Whalen has been the title holder
in his class for the past two years, but
Davis only recently earned the honors
in the light heavy class, having to win
first place in an elimination tournament
in order to be crowned king.

Winners Must Defend
Titles Every Month

The winner Of the boxing cham
pionship of the navy is given a
belt from those in charge of
the fleet athletics, but the gift
is authorized by the Secretary
Of the Navy. With this belt
goes a $50 purse, as this Is
the sum that a challenger has
to have put up for him. A
champion is obliged to defend
his title on thirty days notice.
If more than one is challeng-
ing at the same time they are
obliged to have an elimination
for the chance to fight for the
belt. If the regular boxing
champions had to do like they
do in the navy then the public
would surely see some real
