BETTING AT PHILADELPHIA.
Especial to TIE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. ]
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-There is little
or no betting here on the big fight for the
simple reason that very few of the sporting
class have any faith in Corbett's ability to
win. and those who do think the Californian
will win have not the courage TO back their
opinions with their coin. The only bet of
any consequences was made by "Doc'
Robins, who put up s., SOC on Sullivan to
Bockmaker Duffy's $1,000. A few small
bets have been made on the basis of 8 to
on Sullivan.
BETTING BEGUN.
! CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Betting on the big
fight has already begun here. The ruling
odds are 800 to $40 on Sullivan, with
| barrels of Sullivan money in sight, about
| So 600 at these odds have been wagered il
Varnell Il Hawkins during the past three
days. Joe Ullman took the Ccrbett end Of
$500 to $500 bet yesterday Corbett has
good many friends among the book
makers and theatrical people, but the fight
ing element is putting everything on the
champion. There has been no betting IL
tue pool rooms yet, but books on the fight

thorne and Garfield.

M'CAFFREY WILLING.
The sporting edition of the Erening Sun
says when Corbett. several days ago, made
his offer to put Mccartney out there were
were strengthened when the Manhattan
Athletic clubs instructor wrote letter
saying that he only weighed 15S pounds
and was physically unable to fight any one,
let alone COrbett, there were some COM
ments to the effect that for 15S-pound
man Mccartney was a pretty big looking
fellow. Mccartney says that if Corbett
covers the 5000 which is the limit, the
winner will get s12, 600, and remarks that
it is very respectable sum, which no one
will dispute He wants six weeks to pre-
pare for the fight This would make the
date Of the contest some time in October,
put Mccartney says that he Is entirely will
ling to arrange matters to suit Corbett's
convenience.
