NEW YORK. April 16-There is very
little doing in the baseball betting line
down in wall or Broad street. Efforts
to get a line on major league odds on the
curb yesterday proved futile. for the curb
brokers are not making any wagers that
amount to anything. They are agreed
that tie Giants are the class OF the Ma
tional League, and there Is no betting
against that club. Some wagers were
made yesterday at TO that the Giants
would win the opening series with the
Dodgers.
In Wall Street a customer OF one OF the
big firms wagered 1900 against 800 that
the Yankees would hnish in the first di
vision. He also bet 500 against sl.0Do-
