MATCH BETWEEN THE TWO LOCAL PUGILISTS 13 LIKELY. Charley Da'y Offers to Eicfe His Brother for $500 and Tom Allen Will Furnish Nell's StaXe St. Louis Dog's at tha Pointer Derby Track Talk General Sportlnff News. Two local pugilists who are more prone to fight with their hands than their mouths, a quite uncommon proclivity among the local fraternity, are going to settle a much-mooted questloa of superiority. The men referred to are Johnnie Daly and Frank, alias "Dutch," Neil.

The fight Is the outcome of a spirit of rivalry between the two Market street pugilistic resorts. Neil, by his recent victories, has become the pride of Tom KeUy's, and Johnnie Daly is the hero or the habitues of his brother's resort. There 13 no personal animosity between the men, but Nell's recent victories have led him to believe that he Is the best man of his weight In the city. Johnnie Daiy happens to tip the scales In Nell's neighborhood and. as a consequence, thinks Dutch is a little oil on his judgment.

Both are willing to put the matter to a test and will give each other a hot argument. Charley Daly announces that he will put up $300 on behalf of his brother for a finish fight at catch weights with skin or two-ounce (Cloves. He willing that the fight should come off In a room with only five people to a side witnessing ihe encouter, or he Is willing to have the affair pulled off at Nell's selection. Nell Is ni't only willing but anxious for a go with Johnnie and said yesterday that 1 om Allen would see that his $500 was forthcoming. Time and place will be decided upon when the stake money is posted.

Both Dalv and Nell are well known members ol the local puclllilc fraternity and are notable more for a willingness to nuht than to issue challenges and carry on war In the newspapers. Both men weigh about 140 pounds. Nell is short ana stocklly built and Is a sure and hard bitter. Daly Is taller and has the advantage of his opponent In reach. A contest between the two means a test of gameness.

THE TUBF. The annual meeting of the Western Turf Congress, which occupies the same position In Western turf circles that the Board of Control does In the East, Is scheduled to take place at the office of the St. Louis Jockey Club to-morrow. The organization at present consists of the St. Louis Jockey Club, La-tonla Jockey Club, Louisville Jockey, Kentucky Jockey Club, which races at Lexington.

Overland Jockey Club of Denver and Twin City Jockey or St. Paul. As will be observed every racing association la the AVest is a member or the organization, with the xceptlon of Washington Park, which drew outlast year, Garfleld and Hawthorne, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, East St. Louis and Madison. President Kolla Wells of the St.

Louis Jockey is also at the head of the Turf Congress, while C. Hopoer of the La-tonla Jockey Club is the Secretary. Representatives from all the jockey clubs that are members of the congress are expected to be on hand hough the meeting may have to be postponed, on account of the election, which may result In preventing a quorum from being present. Speaking about the matter this morning President Welis said the election might cause the meeting to be postponed for a day or two, but he would wait until to-morrow, before deciding definitely about the postponement. Mr.

Wells says the Congress will undoubtedly make a number of changes in the rules, some of which are Important and others that are not. The question of revising the scale of weights will be discussed and "I shall," said Mr. Weils, "advocate an increase In the limit that will, I think, do away with the present system that forces 'the Jockeys to reduce so much, which is, as every one knows, so detrimental to their health." The congress will also consider the question of how to prevent Jockeys from betting and whether it would be advisable to adopt a rule prohibiting them doing so. The valet system Is another nuisance they will look Into. It Is expected this will be done away with and a rule ordering each of the Jockey clubs to employ competent and honest men to look after the jockeys, while they are preparing to ride, adopted.

The Congress has nothing to do with the schedule each club will adopt next season, but it is probable that, while all the clubs are represented together, an understanding between them, that will prevent the clashing of dates, providing such is desirable, will be agreed upon. President Wells says that there is no trutn In tha rumor that the St. Louis Jockey Club has decided to race 10J or '1M consecutive days (barring Sundays) next season. "The question of Just how long we will race next season." said Mr. Wells, "will not be announced publicly until soma time." EAST ST.
