Corbett has shown no disposition to cover
the money he had posted in Cincinnati
for d fight between Walcott and O'Don-
nell, Tracy, Creedon or Mysterious
Billy" Smith, all of whom were included
in the challenge. he would make another
bet 5000 to Corbett's $4,000 that Wolcott
can whip either Tommy Tracy. Billy
Smith, Dan Creedon or Steve O'Donnell
It is more than fair, but they are easy
game.
