Big Crowd Thought He WouiS BE Mt the
Brooklyn HnndbalI Court,

Somehow the report got abroad in South Brooklyn
yesterday that John l. sullivan to be visitor
the Brooklyn iandbai Clubs court 1t probably arose
over the fact that the famous rugst called at tho
court last sunday. and tho rumors that have been
spread about that Phil Casey to take charge
training. 1t proved to be case of false alarm in
both instances, and as far AS Casey was concerned
John l. was not expected yesterday Quite number
OF prominent sportsmen gathered in and around tho
during tho afternoon hoping that sullivan might
show up. but were doomed to dsappon. ment. II is
possible however that sullivan ana his friends
may want to witness a genuine article of handball
prior to the big fellows commencing the hard work
training for his meeting with Corbet and that case
Casey will see to 1t that the champions wishes are
gratined. sullivan believes in handhall az Il great
athletic exercise aud So does Casey the champion
