Betting Odds Shift.
Existing conditions forced shifts
in the betting odds and the Yankee

of line yesterday and will not he
with US for several days, If then.
In his absence, our Mr.. Ruth will
play first base for the Yankees,
with Hinkey Haines, Elmer Smith
and Harvey Hendrick collaborating
in the business Of playing right
field. Elmer is the young man who
hit a homer with three on '.in the
1920 series, but since has fallen

handlers right now, but has some
thing just as good in John Scott,
who pitched the best game of the
1922 series. The Yankees haven't
looked over John since that 'onerous
occasion, and at last reports were
managing to bear up bravely under
the strain of his prolonged absence.

The fluctuating odds again caught
the young men with the gambling
complex running the wrong way
of the track. They, the odds, were
6 to on the Yankees YESTERDAY.
This morning they had gone back
to 5 to on the Giants, with
takers very hard of hearing.
In some quarters, as a matter of
fact, the Giants were looked upon
as being almost a 2 to l bet. the
general attitude being that Pipp's
absence from the Yankee line up
goes furtheri than the mere loss
of first baseman.
1t means. they contend that
Ruth will be subjected to the
bumps and strains that go with the
day-to-day matter of playing first
base, laying him open to the pos
sibility of following Pipp to the
first aid tent. Ruth has always
favored a sour left leg. and that
Is the member he will have to co
business with in taking throws at
the bag. An injury to our M.
Ruth would just about close out
the Yankee account.
Crowd Will Be Cut.
The shift to the Polo Grounds
this afternoon meant that yester-
days record crowd would not be
repeated. Using fabricated shoe
horns they will not be able to push
more than $4,000 souls into the
Giant field, estimates to the con-
trary.
The all-night martyrs, therefore
were sleepy and plentiful, at least
1000 lining the Eighth avenue side
of the field from midnight on. The
gates were opened at $3.50 in order
that the boys might re-establish an
acquaintance with the sitting pos
tCre. Some, however, had nothing
under them but a set of flat feet
and nothing over them but the
stars, If any. 1t was a narrowing

Good Basis for Success.
Ry NEWTON d. BAKER,

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Oct. Ia
The first $1,000 / accumulated I
invested on my head-by giving
my brains something to work on.
put my early money into an
Education, without which no young
man can accomplish anything worth
while. Its possession affords him
an opportunity to invest money he
may gain later wisely. Let q youth
acquire all the knowledge he can
so that he can pass it on to
others, for education is one of the
greatest bases for success.
Must Apply Learning.
But his investments will not
avail him much unless he applies
the learning he has gained; unless
he has ability and good moral prin-
ciples.
The small capital of $1.OO1, I be-
neve, a young man will find more
suitable for good investment in
large city than in a small one,
because the larger the place, the
more opportunities exist for sue
cess.
To advise, however, to the young
man IN the city as wen as 10 the
young fellow from the country
must add: Don't set up a lightning
rod and then stand back waiting
for the lightning of opportunity to
be attracted to you. It won't hap
pen. Go out and seek your oppor-
tunities, They will not hunt you
up and show you where to invest
your $1,000 to advantage.
Waiting Sometimes Pays.
Sometimes a young man win find
that he had better wait until he
has more capital with which to
invest. But the fact remains that
in any opportunity for investment
ignorance will prove a handicap
and education an advantage.
The learning a man has acquired
he should pass on to others. That
is something he owes to his fellow
man. With education he can do
something for others and for him.
self. The young man with $1,000
who has acquired learning will al
most always put his money where
it will win, while the ignorant will
lose. In this country no young
man need remain ignorant~ unless
he chooses to do so, and if through
ignorance he invests foolishly, he
has only himself to blame.
