TRANSFORMING
LIKELY To FILL
S|S[ER' s PURSE
Browns Great Player to Lead
AII-Star Team on Coin
Grabbing Trip.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-George Har-
old Sisler, the most valuable mem
Der OF any team in the American
League, will not get a contender $
share OF the world series spoils, but
he probably will make as much
money transforming as he would
have made had the Browns won
the pennant.
Several other members Of the
Browns have signified their inten-
ton to gather a bit of the easy
money that turks among the tank
towns of America, but only one
other member of the local team has
been signed for Sisters team. Chick
Shorten, utility outfielder, will dc-
company Sisler, but other members
of the transforming squad will he
selected from other clubs in the
league.
Several members OF the Boston
Red Sox will be on the Sisler All,
Stars. including PierCy. pitcher, and
Mike Menosky. outfirlder. Others
have been signed tentatively.
Last year Sisler and Hornsby
made $500 each in the Winter
League on the Pacific Coast, but the
promoters of that enterprise lost so
much money last year that they
have not renewed the proposition
this fall.
Each member OF the Browns will
get a share of the world series re-
ceipts set aside for the second team
in each league. The third place
money last year was worth more
than $500 each to the Browns and
Cardinals. and it is estimated that
second pace this season, with borh
teams competing, will pay each
Brownie about $500.
Several OF the Browns were sent
contracts by Herbert Hunter, who
will pilot a group Of major league
stars to Japan, but the Browns
thought they would pass up this
trip, which will be- purely pleasure
jaunt. only the players expenses be-
ing paid.

Deadest Gambling Event He's

Broadway Authority.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-whether it
is dut to lack of interest or a gen
eral feeling that the Giants are out
Classed. the fact remains that the ad-
vanced betting on this world series
is the lightest ever known along
Broadway or the downtown section.
Many OF those who express viking
ness to back the Giants continue to
ask TO for their money.
1t was thought that the weak
hitting of the Yankees in their
final games might knock this price
down a point but so far there is
no heavy wagering.
Jack Doyle, Broadway's expert
on baseball prices. thinks there may
be some action today with he al
rival of Out-of.town visitors who
often make sentimental bets at
false odds. From betting stand
point it's the deadest series l can
remember" said Doyle. Every
body is offering Yankee money.
Some of the sharpshooters are TAX
ing il at to with the idea ct
laying it off if the Giants should
win the first game and shorten
the price on the series. No team
should be to in a short series.
It's false price, yet II is holding
up because of the shortage of Giant
money"
