VIA THE DOPE.

What Is the use" queries writer.
lin trying to pick out world series
winner when you know that nearly
every series brings about an upset?
Not at all. In 19ll> II was generally
established that the hard hitting
Mackmen would beat the Giants. They
did-four g;fmes to two. In 1912 the
Giants-Red Sox carnival was re-
garded as a toss-up. 1t was-soing to
the tenth inning Of the eighth game.
In 1913 the Mackmen were held to be
far superior to the Giants. They were
by four games to one. In 1914 the
Mackmen were picked to throttle the
Braves. This was the first and only
upset of seven years. For in 1915 and
1916 the Red Sox were held TO be sU-
perior to the Phillies and the Dodgers
In 1916 we recall making a slight
wager with Colonel Frank =. Adams
that the Phillics would not win over
one game. Which they didn't. So
since 1910 there has been but one up
set. The club which the ma ajority Of
critics picked to win has won, with
the lone 1914 exception. We are not
counting here the opinions Of manag-
crs and players from the rival leagues.
Naturally they pick their own league
to win--in print. Their private opin-
ions are often different. SO far there
has been no widespread verdict rem
dercd on the Giant White Sox affair
But the dope will be exploited. Never
fear! And 1t will very likely come
bounding safely through.
