According to Jack Doyle, veteran

conservative estimate. Wagers on single
games may make the total amount even
higher should the conflict go to six or
seven games.
In addition to the straight wagers on
the outcome of the various games and
the series, many freak bets also have
been offered Doyle, and he has ac-
cepted them all.
He has accepted bets that Mel OFT
will not hit homer, and that Goose
Gosln also will fail to hit for the cir
cult.
Following are the complete odds which
Doyle is quoting:

N YEW YORK, October 3-Bill
M Terry's New York Giants and
Joe Cronin's Washington Sen
ators began writing new world
series history at the Polo Grounds to-
day
The first pageant of the ash broke
out between Boston and Pittsburgh just
80 years ago, and the new chapter
that Terry and Cronin will help write
in New York and Washington should be
one of the best of them all.
The Giants rely greatly on the battling
left arm Of Carl Hubbell. Their hopes
are in q defense strong enough to
check the heavier Senatorial attack,
while they 60 after Crowder, Whitehill,
Stewart and Weaver.
In this new series, which may
develop into a series Of pitching
wars. both teams are banking
heavily upon the right or left
arms that were effective all year.
The Giants have Hubbell, Schu-
macher, Fitzsimmons and Parmelee
ready to face Washington's quartet.
These two sets of pitchers are strong
enough to test any attack, where a
run or two at any time may be the
decisive stroke.
The Giant pitching staff will be forced
to run a smoking gauntlet from the
bats of Manush, Goslin, Schultz, Gro
min, Myer and several others who have
been hammering American League
pitching quite Justify all Summer. But
Terry has full faith in his pitchers and
the defense that will back them up.
Washington went into action a slight
favorite but every indication Is that
the show will last at least six games and
possibly travel the full route.
Colorful Show.
Each passing world series brings in q
colorful spot to American life. More
millions than one can count from every
section of the country will follow every
play by press or air until the deciding
run Is over the plate.
This keen national interest reaches
every hamlet and every big city where
the traditions of past world series wars
are still remembered.
There are still those left who can go
back to the days Of Bill Dinneen and
others who opened the first show 80
years ago.
There are still those who re-
member the matchless pitching
Of Christy Mathewson as he shut
out the Athletics through ~ con-
secutive innings.
Matty and Donlin and other stars OF
that far-away day are long since passed.
But the lcng parade of ghosts and
shadows and remembered stars still car
ries such eminent names as Ty Cobb,
Iris Speaker, Grover Alexander, Eddie
Collins, Stuffy McInnis, Home Run
Baker, Rube Marquard, Frank Frisch
and the never-to-be forgotten Ruth.
This new series will miss the color
and the cannonading thunder Of the
Babes busy bludgeon.
But in some respects there will be
lust as much interest in the set Of new
faces that will confront big crowds as
the curtain rises.

Thousands of eyes will be upon Terry

received at these headquarters the fol-

When they start to do their stuff?

To meet q deadly slant,

That they built for Eddie Grant.

What heritage is theirs!

The past is there to cheer them
From Coogdn's famous cro1Dn.

Hero and Goat.
There are two old-established indus
tries connected with every series play
that will help feature the new show.
Who will be the leading hero and who
will be the leading goat?
It isn't always the big star who
shines brightest.
Only two years ago young Pepper
Martin of the Cardinals ran away with
the entire pageant, cleaning up nearly
all the fame and glory Of the big week.
Unknowns have risen to the
heights and big names have flop
ped more than once.
Cronin or Terry might take over the
hero role-but there Is always the
chance that Ryan or a Goslin, q Critz
or Myer may reach out and grab the
olive bough or the laurel leaf.
Meanwhile the show is on. The cur
tain Is up. The captains and the jumps
are on the scene, where after two days

test Is still undecided.

ENGINEER PLANS
 OAK ISLAND HUNT
Modern Methods Used to Seek Inca Jewels and
 Gold

Montreal-(UP)-Lured by vi- sions of fabulous wealth, a small band of treasure hunters, headed by Thomas N. Nixon, British Co., lumbia engineer, will gather on
 Oak island, Malone Bay, Nova Scotia, late this fall, or early next spring, to stage one of the greatest treasure quests in Canadian his- tory,
 Equipped with the latest engi- neering apparatus, the expedition will excavate the island in an at- tempt to settle once and for all the old question of whether or not there is a fortune in precious gems and metals buried there.
 According to a nearly forgotten legend, a tribe of Indians, known as the Incas, fled from Mexico hundreds of years ago, carrying with them jewels and precious metals. The legend says that the Indians landed on Oak Island and buried their riches in a deep tunnel running from the Atlantic ocean to the center of the island, and then vanished.
 Te first traces of the treasure was uncovered in 17s5 by three IIlcu WuO CdIAS upoll d oCpi CSolOiA near huge oak tree. on the island and started to dig. They
 unearthed what appeared to be 8 huge pit constructed of logs. In- adequate equipment forced them to quit.
 Since then six different treas
 ure-hunting companies have sunk shafts and dug in the vicinity of the oak tree, but misfortune dogged their steps and all were forced to abandon the quest be-
 cause of lack of financial backing
 and sea water which flooded their
 shafts.
 Nixon bases his belief that there is treasure on the discov- | cries made by these expeditions
 and his own observations. From time to time since 1795 signs tending to prove that a strange
 race of people once inhabited the island have been unearthed. The discoveries included @ whistle of pure ivory, fiat stone, Mexican oak trees and a piece of parch-
 ment, all inscribed with solar | Yndeciphered characters.
