JOE CANS MAY FIGHT

Joe Cans Will hot have long to wait for
mill if the hackers of Jack Dougherty,
the Milwaukee welterweight, who recently
defeated Buddy Ryan of Chicago in q ten
round bout, are sincere In their desire to
make a match. No sooner had Dougherty
scored his victory over Ryan In signal
style than his manager placed himself In
direct communication with the Pacific A.
c. Of Los Angeles, with the result that a
representative OF that club will meet
Dougherty's manager this week to talk over
terms. IL a purse is offered there is no
doubt about Cans acceptance. as he has
placed himself on record as willing to fight
any man In the world. white Or black, at

Dougherty is twenty-four years DID, and
looks every inch a fighter. He has won
all of his last fourteen battles, a majority
of them by the knockout route, and his
splendid showing with Ryan, high-class

that he would have chance with Cans

GREAT BASE BALL EPIC.
De Wolf Hopper Tells the Story Of
the Immortal ssCasey at the Bat"

1
The name of De Wolf Hopper is INSOFAR
ably connected with the base ball poem
Casey at the Bat So much 50, indeed,
that most people believe that the long come
dian actually wrote the immortal lines.
Just how many times Hopper has recited
this epic of the base ball field no mathema-
tfcian can compute. For years he traversed
the length and breadth of this continent
spouting the eloquent words depicting the
downfall Of the mighty Casey, and for years
his audiences insisted upon the recital of
the poem as one of their inaIienable rights
Even In London, at a banquet of the Eccen-
trio Club. Hopper was compelled to render
Casey to an audience of Englishmen to
whom the base ball terms were as Greek
The genuine humor of the poem and Hop
per's superb delivery of the lines compelled
their laughter despite the handicap of ig-
norance.
ut was in 1897" says Mr.. Hopper, that
Archibald Clayering Gunter sent Casey to
me. He did not say where he got 1t. but
merely asked that I should read it over
and recite 1t that evening when the New
York and Chicago base ball clubs were 10

Wallack's then-the grand old Mccall opera

o'clock In the afternoon and nearly tainted

are anything they are a mile long, but
had them within an hour and kept them GO
| ing III my fDlnu. we were playing castles
In the Air then, and when the night came
around the two ball teams sat in the boxes
There were Arson, Ewing Johnny Ward
and many other famous players. To make
long story short, pulled Casey on them
and it scored a home run. After the show
hunted up Gunter and asked the name of
the man who wrote Casey He told me he
didn't know. and said he had cut 1t out of
San Francisco paper some time before.
"WiH you believe me, 1 tried for four
years to find the man responsible for the
thing. l asked every one l came across 1

them, but to no avail. There were initials

thing further could 1 discover. One night,
nearly five years afterward, was playing
Wang at Worcester, Mass, and received
a note asking Ii would come around to a
certain club and meet the author of Casey
OF course, / went and was introduced to
Ernest l.. Thayer. a prosperous fnanufae-
turer of Worcester. He had written Casey
merely to kill time, and had no idea until /
reached Worcester that the poem had
scored such a huge success
De Wolf Hopper in addition to being the
sfasts in America Is an all round athlete
and lover of sport He was the president
of the Five AS" as the Actors Amateur
Athletic Association of America was famnil-
iarly known. Hopper has long been noted
for his love of fine horses and he owns sew
eraI high-grade trotters. At present he is
a deyotee of the automobile and owns a
