Professionals Seek Odds of 10

Team Is on Big End

NEW YORK. Oct. 4.--With the first
game of the worlds series clash be-
tween the Giants and Athletics only
~ hours away, there existed today
among the professional betting fra
ternity greater degree of uncer-
than has ever before characterized
a meeting between the pennant win
ners of the rival major leagues.
In Philadelphia. of course. the radi-
cal Athletic rooter is betting the
money he has saved on lunches and
carfare on the home team at what
ever odds he can get; the New York
fans are backing the Giants in SINH
lar fashion. But the professional
gamesters, the men who wager hun

are up in the air.
In other years they have been guild
ed largely by the baseball dope"
They weighed the batting. fielding
and pitching strength of the contend
ing teams according to their perform
ances during the regular season and
then plunged on the team that
'doped" out stronger.
But in those other years the dope"
has gone wrong. The uncertainties,
the peculiar twists of baseball wedged
their way into the battles and upset
practically every calculation.
So far no big bets have been reg
fstered. The gamblers are jockeying.
They want odds one way or the other,
but no offers of better than even
money have so far been made.
The gambling element is trying to
drive the odds to 10 to 8, not caring
which team is on the big end, but
their efforts so far have been fruit
less.
AS is the case each year. the base
ball 'dopesters' are burning the mid
night oil and using up huge quanti-
ties of lead pencils In an effort to
find by the law of average which
team ought to win.
The Philadelphia 'dopesters" figure
the Athletics will turn the trick; the
Giant "dopesters" are sure the Giants
Will win. The impartial "dopesters"
are just about equally divided.
