 St Louis. Sept 9.-Chief of Police Kiely yesterday announced that he has decided to stop boxing at the West End club and other local resorts. He came to this conclusion after conference with Circuit Attorney Folk. Chief Kiely said:
 If boxing is to continue in this city clubs will have to provide proper halls, having exits enough for the absolute safety of the spectators, and confine the sale of tickets to members
 If nothing intervenes within the next ten days an international match be- tween Jimmy Britt of California and Jabez White of England will be ar ranged, to be decided at San Francisco during November next. The Yosemite A. c. of San Francisco has received word from the Englishman that he will sail for America next month, ready to fight Britt. Some time ago the west ern club opened negotiations for the battle, offering liberal purse to White, with expenses, to tackle Britt for twenty rounds. The only thing that prevented White from settling matters then was the weight question. This has been agreed upon, and the foreign CT will sail for the United States as soon as he gets his expense money. Britt and White. according to- present plans, are to have it out at 133 pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock on the day of the mill. The battle Is considered an jim portant one, for it will give Americans a chance to get a line on White, who ls the present English lightweight cham pion. White wants to fight Joe Cans for the worlds title and believes that by whipping Britt he can command at tention Ben Jordan, who is booked to fight Young Corbett before the same club in November, may accompany White to this country. Whites last fight was with Spike Sullivan, whom he defeated on points. a.,.<
 Abe Attell of California defeated Johnny Reagan of Brooklyn in q twen- ty-round bout at St Louis before the West End A. G.. the other night. The contest which went the limit was fast, and Attell had matters his own way throughout.
 The National A. c. of Philadelphia wants to have Young Corbett and Sammy Smith of Philadelphia meet again in q six-round bout and has off fpred a purse for the pair, provided the encounter Is decided on September IA.
 Coughlin. the Irish Giant said yaster- day: "Coughlins next fight will be with Rob Armstrong OF Sandy Fergu- until the cool weather sets in. There is nothing in it now for Coughlin to fight for. so he might as we'll wait
 Young Mowatt of Chicago has issued q challenge to fight the winner of the Hanlon- -Yanger bout, which is to be held at San Francisco next month. In the meantime Mowatt will not remain idle. He has signed articles to fight Charley Weary of Milwaukee before the Milwaukee A. c. on September 25. The bout is for six rounds.
 Harry Forbes. the former bantam CIlduu upIOu, :" uO uuS AOI uOl6 duy nSHl- ing since he was dethroned by Frankie Neil. has been matched to meet Kid McFadden of San Francisco at Boston before the Tammany A. O.. tomorrow night. They will have it out for ten rounds at 116 pounds.
 Jim Jeffries and Jack Munroe will not fight at Los Angeles if the miner can possibly help it. Munroe, who Is still in the east, said yesterday that he prefers to fight Jeffrles at San Fran cisco, where he has been assured a good sized purse. Munroe thinks that the mill would draw better in that city and trusts that Jeffries will entertain a proposition to have the combat set tied there. As matters stand it is not at all likely that Jeffries will agree to the change. and it will not be surpris- ing if the champion calls negotiations l entirely off if MunrOe makes any fur.
