NEW YORK, May 2.-Lawmakers

to the Atlantic fleet and learn how
the great little game of fistcuffs IS
conducted in the navy. Boxing pro-
moters who want to stage real fights
also would do well to make similar
trips. And Old General Public, if he
wants to see a regular scrap, should
look up the date of the next cham

gage himself ringside seat. He'll

New York got demonstration of
boxing as it should be when the At
lantic fleet visited the Big Town re-

and light heavyweight-were decided
in one afternoon. Sam Taylor, of the
Michigan, lambasted NJ Davis of the
New Hampshire, for the light heavy
weight title. The featherweight belt
went to Dennis Whalen of the Michi-
gan, who whipped Joe Fisher of the
South Carolina.
There are many peculiar features
about boxing bouts in the navy. In
the first place they are limited to six
rounds. The rounds are of but two
minutes duration instead of three as
in most professional bouts in Amer
lea. There are decisions but they
are not given by the referee. Two

of steel barges left here today for
New Orleans. The trip inaugurates
the opening of the waterway between
Illinois and San Francisco. The
steamer Steel City will head the pro-
cession of barges and carry as pas
sengers many prominent business

contiguous territory.
The opening of the waterway, ac-
cording to men who have been behind
the project, will greatly increase
trade between Chicago and Illinois
and the south, and between the middle

America. Freight rates will be much
lower via the waterway than by rail.
