DAILY AND DOOLY TRAIN
Hard at Work Preparing for Their
Contest Before the Eureka's.
Local Sports Have Not Much of Line
on the Men-Both Have Fairly
Good Records.

Local sporting men are now looking for
ward with interest to the contest at the
Eureka Club on Thursday night next be-
tween Billy Dooly and Jack DAILY.
Dooly is notvery well known in this vicin-
ity, but his record is n good one, and the
battle should prove a first-class one in all
respects. Days easy victory over Joe
Burnett at the Eureka Club is the only
line that local sports have on him, and it
is not worth much as the fight was very
much of a farce.
DAILY put a crimp in Mike Leonard, of
baltimore, IN right-hand style but nothing
much could be learned from this, as the con-
test did not last bat two short rounds and
was stopped by the police.
Probably the best line that can be had on
DAILY from any of the spaTring exhibitions
in this city was his meeting with Billy
Duke, OF Baltimore, al Kernan's Lyceum
Theater. early III the summer. Duke was
then in the finest possible shape, while DAILY
was in anything but good condition.
Nevertheless he had the Baltimore lad on
the run for ten hard rounds.
Daily has been training under the super
vision OF Prof Ned Donnelly. For a while
ne was at 81 9Sdpl, bu L ldtcl OL SSilLC "
town where he is now quartered.
Daly's record is a good one. He first
appeared as an amateur i'll Philadelphia,
where lie won the I20-pound record OF the
A. U. This was in 1892, and he won the
championship by defeating Mike Dee,
Frank O'Nenl and Frank Burns, all i'll
three rounds each.
Since then he branched out as profes'
sional and me- and defeated number Of
good men. Among themare Frank Stevens,
OF Columbus, s c., whom he put out in four
rounds, A Allen, who quit in eight rounds,
and Tommy Ward, whom he met at Atlanta,
Ga, and finished off in two rounds.
He then fought Jack Everhardt to @ draw
in three with bare knuckles. He demon
strated his gameness in this battle, which
was red hot from start to finish.
After this came a long list of victories.
He defeated Jack Barry in fourteen rounds
with bare knuckles. Owen Hardy at New
Orleans was finished off in nine rounds AT
the Warren Athletic club in Wilmington
| Del. he defeated Chick Lewis in SIX
rounds, Jimmy Fox in six rounds, Joe Flynn
| in three rounds and Frank Bollen in five
rounds.
One of his best battles was with Horace
Leeds, whom he stood off for six rounds al
| Wilmington. He defeated Billy Dacey
in one round and Mike Kearney in ten. The
latter fight took place on the turf with
small gloves. In New Orleans he fought two
! battles, in which no decision was given
| The first was with John Eckhart and lasted
six rounds and lasted six rounds and the
second was with Prof. Tom Gearhardt be
fore the Olympic Club for four rounds.
Billy Dooly's record is also a good one
In San Francisco he defea ted the following
men: Paddy Gallagher, Mike Fahey, Frank
! Gilbert, Young Corbett, w. II. Waller,
Tim Carter, Jimmy Kelley, Jack Atrix
| and Jack ManniX.
| He then went to Tucson, Arizona, and de-
| feated Mike Sullivan, heavy weight
who was whipping everything in sight at
that time. At San Antonio, Texas, he
| fought a siX-round draw with AuStraliaB
| Billy Smith, which was probably the best
"9O" thathe ever putup. InDallas, Texas,
he defeated Jimmy Bates in eight rounds
and Johnny Maloney in fourteen rounds.
