LITTLE MONEY PLACED.
Bettors Too Uncertain or Too Cock
Sure.

| SAN Francisco. CAL, Aug. 2S.-Lit-
! tie money has as yet been placed here
| on the three big fights, and most OF that
stands on the Sullivan, McAulitfe and
| Dixon combination at ~ TO 5. There is
| any amount OF Sullivan money at 100 to
| 60. but Corbett's friends are standing
aloof. A few small bets at those odds
| were made Saturday.
Pool rooms are selling Meyer at so to
| 100, OF McAulitfe even money. Skelly
has no friends, and offers of 2 To l on
Dixon 60 begging.
| Brady said TO crowd of sporting men
| this afternoon: Mark my word. and
I. remember it on Sept. Z, the fight will
not last over eighteen rounds. The
| fight will look like SullivanS for the
| first six rounds, but after that Corbett
will have everything his own way. He
! will tire Sullivan out in the early part
of the contest"
A conference was held with Phil
Dwyer and Mattie Corbett and other
hackers Of Corbett. at which ii WAS de-
cided that Billy Delaney will stand be-
hind Corbett i'll the fight. Dillon and
Daily will assist him. while Mike DonO-
van will look after the bottles. Corbett
was shown The latest picture of Sulii-
van, and said: THAT looks as If Sulll-

ST LOUIS. Mo-, Aug. 2S.-Very few
bets of any consequence have been made
here as yet Oh the New Orleans triple
event. The pikers, of course. are i'll
| dulging in little speculation, and Sulli-
van, McAulitf and Dixon are the favor
ties with them. Among the regular
sporting contingent Sullivan is the over
whelming :favorite, one bookmaker ac-
cross the river having 81, 900 to place on
Sullivan at odds of 8 to 5. The colored
element naturally are with Dixon to
man, and are complaining that they can
tind-no Shelley supporters. McAulifTe
is prime St. Louis favorite, and what
few bets are being made Oh the light
weight contest are at odds of TO in
his favor.
1t may be depended on that nothing
will be left undOne by Myer, nor is
there the least danger that indulgence
Of any caprice will he allowed TO en-
danger his prospect. Just now he is re-
laXing the vigor of his labor and is TAX
ing 1t easier. Today he weighed 1876
pounds, just two pounds less than
he is expected TO weigh at the ring
side. 1t is the opinion of physicians
here that Billy is a. his best, and that
he never was in better condition than at
present. His stomach gave him little
Trouble when he began 10 train, but now
it is acting all right.
Next Monday evening an athletic eX-
hibton will be given at ArmOry hall
here, at which Billy will appear IN
bout with his trainer. A delegation
of friends from Chicago. and also
from Ottawa and other neighboring
towns, will be present or that occasion.
There is little surface interest here i'll
the contest, but it is understood that in
the inner circles the feeling is intense,
and tina. a larger amount of money will
go from Strealor TO back Myer than on
any other preceding similar event.
There is no betting here. as all are be
levers in the local favorite, and it is ex-
Dected little will be done in this line
until the day OF the fight. The Myer
party expects to leave next Thursday
morning for New OrlearS.
