CORBETT'S STORY.
Sheedy as High Moral Reformer Is
4 Spectacle.


CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-COrbett denounces
Sheedy's statement that he had forwarded
5000 to San Francisco to bet on Sullivan
as a malicious and unWaTranted falsehood.
He further says:
81 am at a loss to understand why Sheedy
should attack me unless he wishes 10 gain
notorety for himself. The idea of Sheedy
posing as a reformer of pugilsm, or
as a reformer of anything, is ride

who has all his life made living off tie
cFedulity of suckers He is a moral-wrecKer.

Sullivan" Brady said when COrbett left
As5ury Park to 60 to Nev Orleans all the
money he had In the world was $500.
''He wanted to bet that amount ON him
sell against Sullivan. and had all l could
do 10 prevent him from doing so. l showed
him that il he lost he would be pennless,
bile if he won he would have SIN all for
tune without this bet. He therefore kept
his money in his pocket"
