Here's an excerpt, describing that that drunken duel between them......

A tough competitor, and a heavy drinker, Casey became friends with Ernest Hemingway.
At Hemingway's house during spring training in Cuba, the drunken pair once put on box-
ing gloves. Teammate Kirby Higbe later recalled, "Ernest would belt Casey one, and down
he would go. Casey would belt old Ernest, and down he would go....The furniture [really
took] a beating."
