WHITE SOX FAVORED
IN BETTING CIRCLES
Hold Upper Hand for First
Time-Cincinnati Well
Backed at Home.

The White Sox are warm fayorites
The ruling odds are to s in favor OF
the Chicago players. Cincinnatfs indif-
ferent play and the batting slump of
the team at the end Of the season
have tended to increase the odds in
Chicagos favor.
Small bets, of course. have been made
at even money. But persons making
such bets are mostly strong National
League .partisans or have taken a per-
scnal interest in the Reds for the
sake of Pat Moran. People all over the
country who never cared rap about
the Cincinnati club before were pulling
tor 1t this year because of Pat Moran's
sake. Especially is this true of Philadel-
phia, where 1t is felt Moran got one OF
the rawest deals In baseball, but one
which has reverted against the Phila-
delphia club like a boomerang. In Phila-
delphia a lot of bets are made on the
Reds on pure sentiment
However, big bettors are looking for
the odds, and this Is as true Of Gin
is being put up on the Reds in Cincin-
natl and through the Ohio Valley. but
.he men seeking to place this money
are waiting to see the odds widen to
to in favor of Chicago The Ma
tional League has been so consistently
whipped in worlds series that few pro-
fessional bettors will handle a National
League team at even money. They ng-
ure the percentage is against the Ma
tional League before a ball Is pitched.
This is the first time that the White
Sox enter a worlds series the favoritsa
In 1916, when they beat the Cubs,
Chances team ranged a favorite from
3 to l to p to l. In 1917, when the
White Sox played the Giants, the bet
ting was at even money, though In
New York, where Chicago money was
scarce, some bets were made with The
Giants a to favorite.

Great Pitching Feats.

The pitching of Walsh and Doc White
and the great batting by George Robe,
White Sox utility inhelder, were other
factors in the unexpected White Soy
victory Critics figured the Sox had
suffered a stunning blow when George
Davis, the crack shortstop of the team,
was injured on the eve of the series.
Jones was forced to shift his regular
third baseman, Lee Tannehill, to short,
while Rohe was placed on third, George
proceeded to crack out triples at regular
intervals. which were largely RESPONSE
ble for the first and third Sox victories.
In many wayF the 1917 series was a
repetition of the 1906 series. Both series
we're tied at two games apiece when the
White sox clinched 1t by taking the

The 1917 series was won largely by

T" Sox," White or Red, Have
Magic Meaning in Series
Chicago Variety Has Won Two Worlds Baseball Titles,
While the Boston Hue Has Accounted for
Fve-Neither Defeated.
Copyright 1918. all rights reserved.

The word Sox seems to carry some
magic charm into worlds series. The
Red Sox have taken part in Ave and
have won them all. while the Chicago
White Sox have won both in which they
have been engaged.
Under the management OF Fielder
Jones the 1906 hitless wonder White
Sox beat the Cubs four games out OF
six, and in 1917 the White Sox, headed
by Clarence Rowland, beat the Giants
by the same margin.
This will be the first time that the
Chicago Americans will enter the
worlds series a favorite. In 1906 they
were the underdog in the betting. the
Cubs ranging from 2 to to to
favorite. In 1917 the betting was at
even money.
The White Sox victory in 1906 was
one of the biggest upsets OF worlds Sc
ries warfare. The CUBS were first in
National League club batting and the
White Sox last in club batting In the
American League. The Cubs won the
National League pennant with the high
est percentage ever achieved by any
modern major league team, 1853, and
they had their pennant sailed away in
August.
However, the Sox got the jump on
them in the opening game. when Nick
Altrock. now a comedian with the WASH
ington club. beat Mordecai Brown in the
opening game, to 1, each pitcher per-
hitting only four hits Later In the Sc
ries Brown got back at Altrock. beating
him 1 to 0. but that opening victory
gave the White Sox the jump

On the witness stand Fer ba said he went to the saloon to bring his friend home. arriving just in time to see trouble brewing. When he es saved to act the role of peacemaker, things started and. according to his own words, "A h--l of a mixup be- gan" Balcorn placed the blame for the scrap on Verbitkin. There must have been someone in the place who had an idea of the rules of fistiana, for. according to Balcorn, when Se- menski arose from the floor where he was knocked to, the bartender rashed out and ordered his friend to "his corner."
 There was alss testimony presented that showed the real cause of the trouble was an arg'un ent over the Snerfts of Russians and Poles. X fine of $3 and costs was imposed. on all but Ba1corn, who received a judgment of suspended penalty. \
