BET TING IS
EVEN On
EVE D F
SERIES
New York Fans Refuse to Plunge
Heavily on Giants Until After
First Game.
By BILLY SMITH,
Manager Atlanta Team.

NEW YORK, oct. 6.--The advance
guard OF the out town army of
baseball fans filtered into town to-
day and at once went into training"
for the battle tomorrow when 10000
lovers OF the national game will bat
tie for the 10000 unreserved seats
that will be placed on sale at the
Polo Grounds at 8 a. m. for the first
world series game between the Ath
letics and Giants.
Many came a day in advance for
the first big game in the hope OF buy
ing reserved seats and thus avoiding
long and weary hours of waiting in
line for the unreserved seats-and
even then running a chance of not
getting any. But they came too late.
Every reserved seat for all the games
in New York has been sold out.
Others came in the hope of gather
ing some eleventh hour, first hand
data relative to the status of both
teams so that they might find some
basis for the wagering of the money
which they toted along from their
home towns. But their mission, TOO,
was a vain one.
New York Gamblers Shy.
They found the gambling element
in New York eager as they were 10
v aGer huge sums on the outcome OF
the blue ribbon event OF baseball, but
still unwilling to ris ktheir owninss
because OF the battling problem that
the present series carries-will the
superior pitching strengthen Giants
| or the superior batting strengthen
Athletics triumph
The gamblers who have studied
the dope" concocted by sundly eA-
pert baseball writer's and expert base
ball players have come to the belief
to-day that the series which begins
tomorrow will furnish an answer
to the world old question. What will
happen when the irresistible force
NETS the immovab bic object
Not one stright-away bet Of any
size on the outcome of the series has
been so far registered, either here
or in Philadelphia. Down in the WaH
Street district, where hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars were wagered
in other years on the baseball classics,
come reports from the betting com
mission that not more than $4,000
has so far been placed with them.
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 a certain game, bets as to
which pitchers viii participate in the
opening game, ss to what sorr OF
hating or fielding average d certain
ulaver will have and similar wasors.
Start at Even Money.
From this angle II looks as If the
teams will go into battle tomorrow
at even money and carry but little Of
the gamblers money with them and
! that the gambling element will lay
back" until after the first game, get
a line ON the relative strength of the
teams through the medium of that
battle and then lay odds and begin
betting in earnest.

was holding a session here 10 put
