New York, Sept. 25.-From out OF

polish and the brass rail is of the
brassiest kind.
They were American league root

Sox. Suddenly he pulled out roll
of bills with a nice yellow one as a

yelled.

bunch of National league rooters.

Western bunch They wanted TO take
some of that money. They believed
1t would be easy.

Giant rooters as the White Sox bunch

There has been little betting on the
series What few wagers have been
made have been at even money.
The betters believed the teams to
be so evenly matched in offensive and
defensive strength that it is like flip
