DOPE GIVES RED SOX
BEST CHANCE AT FLAG

NEW YORK, Oct Adds of to
that the Red Sex will beat the Dodg
ers in the worlds series battling were
offered here today. The supporters OF
theh Brooklyn warriors found them to
their liking and snapped up the Boston
offerings with considerable eclat.
Now that the identity of the partici.
pants in the big scrap has been es'
tablished, the experts" have decided
that the Red Sox have the advantage.
First of all, they declare that the ex.
perience the SoX have gained in world
series will be a distinct bulge for
them. The Sox, as everybody knows,
have done quite bit of post-season
quarrelling. The Dodgers. however,
make their maiden effort this year.
How Pitchers Rank
In the pitching department the
majority of critics think the Sox are
superior. They admit that Pfeffer,
Marquard and Cheney make up ster-
ling trio, but not better than selec-
ton from among Ruth, Shore, Foster
and Leonard.
At first base, Daubert has shown
himself better than Hoblitzel. Brook
Ign Jake is real batsman; Hoblitzel
is streak hitter. He never has been
ranked as a really dangerous clubber.
In fielding Daubert is wonder. Hob
litzel is a good first baseman; Daubert
is one of the best in the game.
Barry Tops Cutshaw
At second base Jack Barry tops
George Cutshaw. BLACK jack is one
of the brainest men in the game, a
marvellous fielder and dangerous hit
ter, especially in the pinches. Cut
shaw was a great aid in the pennant
fight of the Dodgers, but Barry I'M
doubtedly ranks beyond him.
At shortstop the Sox again have the
advantage. Scott, who has been doing
most of the work around that neigh
horhood, isn't star by any means, yet
he seems better than either Olson or
Omara. At third corner, Garden out
ranks Mowrey. "Red Topped Mike
has played some flashy baseball this
season, but Gardner, day in and day
out, is better man.
Meyers and Miller, who have been

which was purchased from the Light,

dent Of the board OF works said while
at the South Side association meeting
last night.
The city needs municipal swim

ton lays half way between the con.
gested districts he said.
Mr.. Bayis pointed out that it would
be possible to heat the water for the
swimming pool from the steam used

doing most of the receiving for the
Dodgers are good but many think
Cady and Thomas better.
In the outfield Wheat stands out as
the peer, He undoubtedly is the best
of the sextette. However, second and
third place in the garden ranking
should go to Lewis and Hooper, It is
toss-up as to whether Hendrickson,
Walsh or Walker are better than John
ston, Stengel Or Myers. However, it
would seem that combination made
up of Hooper. Lewis and Walker,
Walsh or Henricksen is better on
paper than one containing Wheat,
Myers and Stengel or Johnston
In conclusion, the dopesters look at
it this way:
The Red Sox have the advantage In
the box, behind the bat, in the out
field (as whole, at second, third and
short, with the Dodgers outstanding
only at first base.
