Kubiak Gives
Casey Sound
TrounCing.

Philadelphia, Jan. 17.-Al Kubiak Satur-
day night punished Ed Casey, the for
mer college football star. so severely
that Referee McGuigan stopped the bout
in the fifth round. Casey was badly
beaten up, but he was very game.
1t was fight between two big, I'M
calmly, unscientific men, with kubiak' S
greater experience standing him in good
stead. 1t was Casey's debut in the pro-
fessional arena, and the National A. c.
was crowded to the doors to see the two
heavyweights slug each other.
For two rounds Casey made a good
showing. He snapped punches with Ku-
biak and used good judgment in blocking
Ars swings or getting away from straight
leads for his body.
In the third round Kubak tore after
Casey, ripping in numerous blows to Ed
body, and the latter soon became so
weak that he could scarcely stand up.
Nevertheless he fought back after TAX
ing sprints around the ring. This was
repeated in the fourth and fifth rounds.
Casey being staggered repeatedly, but
coming back with punches to AIS body
and face which the latter never minded
in the least.

That He Can
Whip Johnson

San Francisco, Jan. I'll want to
see the championship come back to the
white race, where it belongs" said
James Jeffries Saturday.
Jeffres had just arrived from Los
Angeles for a weeks engagement at a
local theatre. He went on talking in a
way to indicate that he would return to
the ring and attempt to wrest the
championship from Johnson.
II think I'll be able to make John
son sweat if I ever do fight again.
said the big man from Los Angeles.
And if l do fight" he continued, sit
will be in San Francisco. No Australia
or anywhere else for me.
1.-The only question is as to whether
or not l can get into shape. 1t would
take me four or five months to do SO.
If, after a time. l found that 1 would
not come out all right, I would give
up the idea altogether. If I ever meet
Johnson l want to be just as good as
I ever was. 1t took me many years to
get the championship and would not
have anything to fan back upon if
went into the ring with johnson and he
licked me.
But I'm not afraid of him doing the
trick" said the big fellow with a know
ing wink.

SHEEHAN AND HOLMES GO
TO ROCHESTER TEAM.

New York, Jan. 1I-Third Baseman
Tommy Sheehan and Pitcher Clarence
Holmes who were with the Superbas last
season. have been sold by President Eb-
bets to the Rochester team and will work
under John Camel in 1909. The deal has
been in progress for two days and was
officially announced as closed last night
by Mr.. Ebbets. Camel gets a rafting
good ird-sacker in Sheehan, who can
play the bag as we'll as the majority of
major league men. 1t was only weakness
in hitting that caused Sheehan's failure
to maintain his situation in fast COM
pany.
Holmes is promising young pitcher,
and probably Ebbets has arranged so
that he can be repurchased in the fall.
Holmes made his reputation in the South
Atlantic League and ought to prosper in
the Eastern. Camel may have some diff
ficulty in getting Sheehan into line. The
midget third-sacker has signed with the
Stockton club of the California State
League, according to reports from the
coast, and may prefer to play with the
outlaws instead of joining the Roches-
tiers. Sheehans home is in California.
The Brooklyn club will have an official
scout next season. Tom DAILY. the veter-
an infelder. has been appointed to this
responsible position and will enter on las
duties just as soon as the season begins
made Daily managerial offer, but the
terms offered by Ebbets were better and
Tom accepted them.
