STEINER WILL EIGHT DAILY
THE ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT
DRAWN UP YESTERDAY.
Will Box Twenty Rounds In This
City Between September s and 20
Cotton Is Coming.

Jack Steiner and Tom Daily have
agreed to meet in a glove contest of
twenty rounds. between Sept. s and 90.
Articles of agreement were drawn up
at The Herald Office last evening and
they will be signed this morning.
Steiner came to the office unattend-
ed-he usually arranges his own con-
tests-and DAILY came with his man
ager, Prof. Young Dutchey. There
was little difficulty in coming to terms,
because both men are ready and anx-
iouS for the meeting. Daily has come
from Sacramento especially for this
contest, and he did not attempt to put
any obstacles in the way of an imme-
date agreement He arrived here yes
terday, having left as soon as Profess
sor Dutchey wired him that a match
could be had. Joe Cotton, the negro
middleweight, started with him, but
was offered a glove contest at Reno,
New, and he stopped over, believing
that he could pick up some easy
money" He will be here in few days
ready to meet the winner of the Bean
Weday contest, which takes place at
Provo on Thursday evening.
Steiner was willing to sign any kind
of an agreement in order to make
match, for he is confident that he can
defeat Daily. The articles for the con-
test provide that the men box twenty
rounds, under Marquis of Queensbury
rules, with such gloves as are per-
mitted by law. The contest is to take
place in Salt Lake City between Sept.
s and 20, in a suitable hall or arena and
in a twenty-four-foot ring. A referee
is to be chosen forty-eight hours prior
to the contest, and he must be agree
able to both contestants. Timekeepers
are to be chosen at the ringside on the
night of the contest.
Should the exhibition be stopped by
any unavoidable Interference, the
draw, and the percentage of receipts
due the contestants shall be equally
divided.
The men are to box at catch weights.
and they are to be in the ring at the
time ordered by the management.
The contestants agree to break away
clean at the order of the referee and
that there shall be no hitting in the
clinches.
The winner is to receive IS per cent
of the receipts due the two contestants
and the loser % per cent.
Will Be Signed Today.
These articles will be signed this
morning, and it is likely that the two
men will go into training at once
Steiner has a match with Gus Run
lin in Denver which may come off be-
fore this contest. He is now awaiting
word from Bat Masterson of the
Olympic club. He is already in fair
condition. He may go on to Denver
and meet Rubin, and then come back
here for his match with DAILY.
Professor Dutchey will begin to look
for training quarters for DAILY today
AS he is unacquainted with the city,
it may take two or three days for him
TO find suitable place. His man
seemed to be in good condition yester-
day. He had a splendid color and his
muscles seemed hard and firm. He
weighs probably $50 pounds and it will
not be necessary for him to take off
very much flesh.
Stelzner's record has already been
given. He showed his ability by his
eighteen months work as Fitzsimmons'
training partner and the numerous
contests he has won.
