Jack DAILY, the clever lightweight who
kept the star lightweight OF the British

around the twenty-four foot ring of the
Young Mems Athletic Club, last Monday
night. has gone to Philadelphia, where he
Will arrange for several sparring matches
TO take place NJ the -atiI!vtic clubs in that
city in the near future. arr
With the exception Of 20, bad left arm
Daily did not show scratch after his con-
test with Abbott, while the Briton had the
left side of his phiz pretty well frescoed
and his left eye in mourning But for the
fact of his hands going back on him early in
the battle 1T is dollars to doughnuts that
Jack would have finished Abbott then
and there.
The club is talking of bringing these two
men together again, and If they do they
viii play to n packed house. Daly's many
admirers in this city ard baltimore are
willing To bet their lives that he can
whip the EnglishmaD. while Abhott's friends
claim that the Englshman was not in as
good shape as he should have been. This
latter clair is utter rot, as hc was trained to
the minute.
Daily Will probably challenge the winner
of the Abbott-o'Bren fight, which takes
place before the Bethlehem Athletic Club
on January 10.

GORDON TO MEET RAEDY
Next Contest Before the Young
Mems Athlete Club.
SHOULD BE A GOOD FIGHT
The Local Man VIII Have "a Chance
to Show That He Can Fight-Daly
WIN Challenge the Winner of the
Abbott -o'Brien Boulevard and
Kelly at Baltimore Athletic Club.

The next treat that will be 'dished out
10 the patrons of the Young Mems Ath-
letic Club will be the contest between
Jersey" Gordon and Pat Raedy, which
will take place on Thursday hight, Janu-
airy 16.
The first contest under the auspices of
this club, which was held in the arena of
the defu net Eureka Athletic Club, be-
tween Jack Daly and Stanton Abbott
was a pronounced success from a spec
tacular point OF view. The terrible
night that the weather clerk furnished ON
the day of the contest had marked eff
feet upon the attendance, but otherwise
the evenings sport was a satisfactory one
10 everybody concerned.
The coming fight promises to be, If any
thing a better one than the last was. Pat
Raedy is well known in local circles, hav-

ship of the District until Billy Mcmillan
met and defeated him. Pats many friends
claim that he was put out with a chance
blow and all they want Is for him to have
a chance to retrieve his lost prestige.
That he will have to have his scrapping
clothes on when he meets Jersey" there
can be no doubt. Mr.. Gordon has a
record TO back up his claims to prize fight
ing ability that stamps him as a worthy
foeinan for Ra cdy's best sunday-;o ;o-to-Ineet-
ing art in the squared circle"
Among the good men that Gordon has
met are Austin Gibbons, Jack McAullffc,
| the Harlem Coffee Cooler, Frank Bosworth,
| and Paddy German. His fight with Glib
| bons is the bright and particular feather
| in his cap that stamps him as a pretty tough
| man for Raedy TO go up against. He had
| Gibbons all but out in the third round
when the curtain was rung down to save
| him from n knockout.
Gordon is in training at doc Rays
| farm down the Potomac. He is being
| looked after for the present by Frank
| SwitZcr who will have charge OF him until
! Jack DAILY returns from Philadelphia, when
| the Wilmington lad VIII take Gordon in
hand.
| Raedy is getting into shape for the battle

of New York will be the principals in the
stellar attraction of the evening and
good preliminary will be put on to whet the
appetite of the sports who take in the show.

bout was January 20, but owing TO the
ChoyDski-Hall match coming off ON that
night it was changed to the former date.
The contest has been on the tapis for the
last four weeks and was only brought to
the front by Kelly securing an unsatis-
factory decision over Ward at the Schuylkill
Navy Athletic Club last month in six

Sam Austin will referee the bout between
these clever bantams. and a large delega-
ton OF sporting men from New York will

cial rates will be made from this city to

insists upon. Everhardt sent u telegram
to Joe Vendig yesterday explaining that
he would like to box Griffo very much
but would like to have the conditions Of
the match changed TO 1873 pounds. give
or take two pounds. The Griffo side
positively refused to accede to this, and

Griffo and Everhardt to agree consequently
leaves a gap in the prospective carnival.

A rumor was going the rounds yesterday
that The Arlington track at baltimore
would be open during this week There
was some talk OF its being opened up when
il was first announced that the st. Asaph
track would close, but those in a position
to know positively asserted that the au-
thorities would not permit a winter meet
ing to be held there.
Charlie Primrose was in the city last
week and this might have led TO the rumor
being started, as he was a short time ago
endeavoring TO get Pa Daily interested
in the track to the extent of furnishing the
necessary amount OF capital 10 hold a
meeting.
Anyone familiar with the facts can see
that the-cha noes of running at Arlington
are about ten TO one that they don't race
for a single day and fifty to one that they
will be closed up instantcr in case they do
get their programs out and open up the
gates.
The management of the Pmlico course is
said to be willing TO pay the rent of the
Arlington track rather than have pc legiti-
mate racing interests injured having
winter meeting, with all its ttendant
| bad features, started up at this uncture.
