ing fight.
Tine first three rounds were pretty evenly
contested. Casey tried several times to
drop his man with La Blanche swing, but
generally landed his glove on Bakers back
falling thereby to do any injury.
In the sixth round Baker dropped a couple
OF good lefts on Casey's mouth, causing the
latter to look bit serious. Suddenly Casey
plvoted, and swinging his right measured
his distance properly and planted the buck
skin square on Bakers nose. The blow
was most effective, as it sent the receiver to
the mating in very dazed state.
BAKER ROSE To HIS FEET.
The seconds were counted off slowly. and
when "eight" was called Baker rose to his
feet and escaped by ducking another La
Blanche swing, which spent itself on
nothing.
The. other rounds were all In favor of
Casey, who had taken most of the fight out
of his opponent by what came within an
ace of being Knockout in the seventh.
