will take their places. Yet it would
be a great thing to see Matty get
away with another victory, for it
might be his last opportunity in a
worlds series game.
C
Some very wise Johns are betting on
| the Giants today, expecting Matty to
go in and pitch his head off. Other
wise Johns are betting on the Giants,
| figuring that the series isn't Strictly
on the level and that it will so six
games sure. Well, to the Johns who
are betting on Matty, I hope they will
cash in, but to those who are playing
the game as a fake, my views. per-
haps, had better be reserved. These
series are so strictly on the level that
they are desperate To win is the one
thought in every players mind. You
couldn't fix a worlds series or a
worlds series game for a fortune.
The sport is too big to he tempered
| with. of course, you can hear talk
here and there as to how the games
are being juggled, but don't believe
word of it. The players share in the
first four games only, and there are
mighty few of the men who would
play the fifth game If they didn't have
ITO. AS for stretching out the series
in order to help along the club owners
that is a joke. Those who tell you
this and that are talking through
their hats. These games are on the
level, if ever ball games were.
g
The battle is all but over, and the
Athletics are just about as certain
of victory as mortal things can be.
Even If Matty should come through
victorious today. the Athletics would
have another chance Monday, and
another chance Tuesday. In fact, as
matters stand. the Mackmen have
three chances where the Giants have
only one Besides, the Athletics have
a ball club that is intact. Mack
has not used a substitute in the
games. The Giants, on the other
hand. are crippled lot and numer-
Gus changes are made. Not even
luck. it would seem, could bring the
Giants home a winner. The odds are
too many-too great.

VIII you please decide the follow
ing argument: In a worlds series
baseball pool having three prizes
first, 1926; second, $40: third, $5-four
men are tied with 10 hits each. A
claims the entire amount $40, should
be divided into four parts and each
one of the ties receive $40 B con-
tends that only the first prize, $25,
should be so divided and each man
receive $6.25, and the second high, 8
hits, receive the second prize, $40; the
third high, hits, third prize, IS. The
writer, A, says that this reasoning of
BIS gives the man with less hits more
money than the one having greater
number of hits, and if there were ten
ties each man, according to B, would
be entitled to only $3.50, while the one
with nine hits would get the second
prize, $40. Foolish, isn't it? Never
theless will you kindly oblige by de-
Gliding this in Saturdays Star?
