they are far from being in the
class of the Athletics in this re-
spect
In base running there is little
superiority either way. The Gil
ants speed around a trifie better
as a general thing. but the Ath-
letics have knack of doing un-
dreamed of things just at the
moment when they count most.
Generalship will cut figure,
as it always does. But there is
no telling who is going to pull
the most bones and vice versa.
A last brief summary Of what
is looked for by yours truly-the
Athletics should outbat the Gil
ants in all games In which Bender
and Plank pitch and should out
field them all the way. If Plank
and Bender pitch four games of
the first FIVE, the series should
end next Saturday IL the Giants
should win the one battle In
which we expect a youngster to
hurl for the Mackmen and also
should be fortunate enough to
win one of those against Plank
or Bender and the series lasts
until the following Monday, back
with Bender, and If she goes un-
til Tuesday, then Plank for, his
third start. But our rebuttal is
that 1t should be four of the first
i've for the Athletics.

$4,000 RUSH FOR SEATS

But they came too late. Every re-

St. BETTORsS SHY,
TOM CORbETT SAYS
BY JOE MURPHY

The worlds series between the
Athletics and Giants, which starts
at the Polo grounds tomorrow should
be closely contested, as the wiseacres.
prognosticators and bettors are hold
ing themselves in reserve, fearful of
taking a chance of picking the win
ner, a. ii looks too much Of tossup
for them TO come out fiatfooted and
declare themselves.
The bettors are as shy as an as
semblage of high school girls at
tending their first dance, They are
waiting for the other fellow TO make
the price, and as a result the betting
has been light The betting has been
even on the series In San Francisco
to date. with Athletic money being
In evidence.
Commissioner Tom Corbett. who
never handles bets on ball games. ex-
cept in worlds series games. when
everybody bets, says that he looks
for the Giants TO be slight favorites.
out OF town queries asking what the
betting is on the Giants.
When | say that think tile Giants
will be slight favorites." continued
Corbett. Il am simply making a
guess ! know that the supporters of
the New York club are great bettors
and II is the money that makes the
odds. On past performances ii seems
to me that the Athletics are stronger.
but McGraw has a bunch of loyal
supporters who would go down with
him even IL they thought he did not
have an even chance"
The cold blooded gambler. who
cares little whether the Giants or the
Athletics are successful, as long as
he can cash a bet, viii go to the fig
ures and scan them with the same
attention as IL he We're trying to pick
winner on a racetrack many miles
away. They are his only weapon.
SHORT END LOOKS GOOD
] am going to try to pick the win
ner and see IL / can not make some
one win bet. / have studied the
dope thoroughly, but / have concluded
that II is useless in this case NY
selection Is the short end. If any one
is foolish enough to make odds on
the result of the series between these
great teams his money should be I'm
mediately snapped up. There are no
odds between these clubs rs the fig
ures stand. What the result may
be is a different matter.
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-06

The gamblers who have studied the
dope concocted BY sundry expert
baseball writer's and expert baseball
players have come to the belief today
that the series which begins tomor
row Will furnish an answer to the
world old question.
What viii happen when the ire
sistible force meets the immovable
object?
Not one straightaway bet of any
size on the outcome of the series has
been so far registered either here or
in Philadelphia. Down in the Wall
street district. where hundreds of
thousands of dollars were wagered
in other years on the baseball classic
come reports from the betting com
missioners that not more than Sc. 1000
has so far been placed with them.
FREAK wAGERs MADE
OF this sum about $4,000 has been
laid at even money on the series.
The rest is In freak wagers--bets
on the total number of runs one or
the other team makes during the
entire series or during certain
game. bets as to which pitch
ers will participate In the opening
game. as to what sort of batting or
fielding average certain player
would have, and similar wagers

EVEN BREAK
ON SERIES
By EDDIE GEIGER

CHICAGO, Oct. 6..F'rank Chance,
manager of the Yanks, is today speed
ing westward to his California ranch.
He passed through Chicago yester-
day. During his brief stay between
trains Chance gave his views on the
worlds series. A week ago he IA
vored the Athletics. Today he says
it's a toss. giving equal chances to
both teams.
His advice is, flip coin and pick
your team IL you must wager
When I sent my team against the
Athletics in the final series of the
season I was certain that Mack was
bossing the crew that would win
the worlds series. / didn't see how
they could lose. Now j think I can.
1T looks TO me like series of free
hitting and high scores. There is no
question about the hitting and run
getting ability OF the Athletics. The
New York pitchers won't stop them.
AT that l think they have as good
a chance as the Giants. But it is be-
cause they win hit and drive in
runs and not because of any clever
pitching that they are apt to have.
