MIR. Harrison. manager OF the st. Charles Turf

Sullivan gained the victory he would cash back
$4,000. That was on straight betting. On
tho combinations he stood to pay $4,000 on
the Sullivan. McAulife. and Dixon ticket and
only $4,000 on the came combination with
Corbett In place OF sullivan.
Ono of tho big bets OF tho day was that made
by Manager Billy Brady. who is handling Cor
bett. To be snre he forfeited $50 on $500 to
81 900 bet with Steve Brodie. but he did that
simply for the reason that he could command
far better odds In the pool rooms. While many
thought that Brodie had the best OF his talk
with Brady last night. the foxy manager OF
Corbett know what he was doing. His record
cd bet with Brodie was tho means OF knocking
down the figures on the fight to much lower
price. He Immediately went to the st. Charles
Turf Exchange with $1,000 in his fist and Of
fsred to bet 1t at l to 3. The propri-tors re-
