Roseben's Victory. In order to secure
good price these men engineered little
scheme that proved very effective. They
gave one OF their netting commissioners
$1,000 TO bet on Suffrage. The agent was
instructed TO be very open in placing the
bets and attract as much attention as
possible TO the fact that he was betting
on Mr.. Keenes hlly. When the agent
rushed into the ring and in loud tones
asked the bookmakers how much money
they wanted on Suffrage many OF the out
side men connected with the books. aware
that the agent placed money for the trio
of Tammanyites, Immediately scurried to
then employers and whispered in theh
ears that Farrell, Johnson and Sullivan
were betting on Suffrage. and that Rose
ben must be a lobster
Through the aid OF this $1,000. which was
placed on Suffrage. the bookmalSers were
Influenced 10 raise the price on Roseben
from 4 TO 8 10 10 8. When the odds
reached the latter figure the three big
plungers sent In $1,000 on the horse
through various agents BY this ruse they
managed TO place big sum at high odds
whereas IL they had not rendered the
$1,000 bait TO deceive the bookmakers re-
garding their intentions they would have
been forced 10 accept less than even
money for their bets.
