supporters to offer anything better
than even money
..--.-< Boston Money Scarce.
The Phillie supporters at first fig.
ured they ought to get fairly sizeable
odds because of. the impression that
the Red Sox outclassed the Phillies
outfit. but the scarcity of Boston mon
ey just now is causing the ROSTERS of
the National Leaguers to grab any of.
fer down to even money on the Sc.
ries.
Even money was offered today that
the Phillfes would win the first game,
if Alexander pitched, but there were
no takers, and then the price was
boosted to 6 to 5. A few bets at this
figure were recorded but the Red Sox
followers later insisted on odds of Z
to 5. These were refused, but it seems
very likely that the odds on the Phil
lies to win the first game will go to
Z to and probably to before
Thursday night.
