MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
Phil Casey Talks About Tralning Sullivan
for the Big Fight

Phil Casey Talks About Training Sullivan
for the Big Fight.
NEW YORK, June 8-The mode OF training
Sullivan for his light with Corbett is n SUBJ
ject that is causing considerable discussion.
No men know better than Charley Johnston
and Phil Casey, the big fellows respective
hacker and trainer, what is best to put their
charge in form for the coming conflict and
as neither man has yet expressed himself in
regard to the matter, all accounts pertaining
to the event have been merely conjectures
One thing seems to be pretty certain, that
before Sullivan begins hard work there will
be a thorough understanding between him.
SELF his backer and trainer, and the respon-
sibility OF his getting into condition will
rest with Phil Casey, backed up by Charley
Johnston, who will take more than the
usual interest in the preparation OF his man.
Nothing as yet, however, has been outlined
either as to the character of Sullivan's. .
training or the selecting of training ground.
Coney Island, Oyster Bay and Patchogue
have been mentioned as afrording special
facilities for sullivan's work. but it Is safe to
saw that neither Of these locations will be Sc
lected. In talkin z to a reporter about the
match yesterday Casey said:
"a PROPER training ground is Of the utmost
ncSsd out good spot N Abury ParH bas
then that place has its objections. 1t Is gen.
orally filled with summer residents from the
large cities and It is just such things that
wish to avoid. Quarters near salt water are
just the thing if you can get them properly
located. My idea will be to get rs far from
railroad communication as possible.
sullivan is going into this affair with Cor
bett as If his life depended upon the result
He is confident of winning: SO am l. But
we will take no chances. Therefore, Sui.
Ivan knows, probably better than any
other man, what will be necessary to get
into perfect trim. I have my own ideas
about the matter, and little conferences be-
tween us I'm sure will lead to happy re-
Sullivan should be charged with irritability.
Any man who can travel around the coun-
try and have his privacy invaded by gaping
crowds and have all sorts OF questions
howled at him without the slightest evil
dence of disapprobation. must be man Of
wonderful temperament"
