CLOSE SERIES
PREDICTED BY
EXPERT DOYLE
Pitching and Luck
To Decide Title
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 Q.N.S0 .
On the eve of the 1887 world series
there hasn't been big bet laid.
The Yankees, Of course, are the
favorites, but if you want the per-
sonal opinion of Jack Doyle, Broad
ways veteran gambler, its "a dead
even thing"
I called on Doyle at his hotel
and between telephone calls he told
me the odds are 2 to against
the Yankees and 8 to against
the Giants. Doyle bets you either
way.
PITCHING HELD KEY
"If you check hack you'll find
that world series are won on
pitching and fielding" Doyle
says. Pitching is TO per cent
in short series, fielding Is per
cent and smuggling S per cent.
For every world series game
that has been won by slugging
I'll show you 10 games that
have been won by fielding and
pitching. Those Giants can
field and they have pitchers.
I'm 1922 the Yankees were a
3.to-5 shot yet, playing the
Giants, they lost four out of
five. The other was a tie.
They had Babe Ruth then.
FEW BIG BETS
people don't figure these
short series right. Take the
Yanks of 1887. II you figure
them on the basis Of playing
so games with any other team
they'd be a 1-to-5 chance. Their
smuggling would tell over the long
distance. But, in short series,
there actually are several teams
who figure to outhit the Yanks."
Doyle said there are all kinds
If small bets being made be-
tween friends, but there is a
scarcity Of big wagers.
1.-THE reason I say this world
series is an even thing is be-
cause anything can happen in
a few games" he said. "You
can count strategy and the
managers out. Neither Nc
Carthy or Terry can do a thing
when their players are at the
plate. The managerial angle
is greatly overrated."
LUCK TO DECIDE
Doyle said that for the first
game in the present series, with
Carl Hubbell pitching for the
Giants, the odds are / to 2 aginst
the Yankees and 3 to 2 against
the Giants.
Luck will be the big factor, "
he asserted. IT think this will be
one of the most even series in a
Inn0 while.

guarded private life drive Elmer
H. Davidson, staid 52-year-old
bachelor and legal research expert

his murderer near Fredericksburg,
Va, late Sunday night?
Virginia authorities sought an
answer to that question in Wash

detectives in an intensive check
on the personal secrets Davidson
concealed from his closest friends.
ONE THEORY ABANDONED
The early theory that Davidson
was stabbed and shot to death
under a tall oak tree at the side
of the Williamsville- Whitewater
Pike by a hitch-hiker has been
abandoned because no attempt
was made to rob the slain man,
Sergt. e. J. McDermott, Of the
Virginia State police, said today.
McDermott expressed the belief
that, Davidson knew his slayer
a short, stocky young maa-who

firing a bullet from a .3S-caliher
pistol, of the special type carried
by police officers squarely between
his victims eyes.
LEAPED FROM CAR
The suspected killer was seen
when he leaped from Davidson's
car after it crashed into sign

FEDERAL UNION
WINS VICTORY

Union activity among Govern.
ment employees scored another vic
tory today with announcement
that the Social Security Board
will reinstate two employees whose
dismissals had been charged as
due to union discrimination by
their organization, and lnettlcl-
ency by their supervisors.
The men. William Sunni and
Bernard Schultz, will return 10
work November l at the Balti-
more office of the agency, accord
ing to notification presented by
Social Security to Eleanor Nelson,
official of the United Federal
Workers of America.
The action was taken after
recommendation for reinstate-
ment by William Savin, arbiter Of
the National Labor Relations
Board, before whom facts in the
case were placed by attorneys rep
resenting both the U. F. w. A,
and Social Security Board. Savin,
in his recommendation, concluded:
THE impartial listener could
not escape the impression that
the supervisors wanted to issue
a warning that only clerks who
could adjust to unimaginative
routinized employment would be
retained, and that activity in a
union which was vocal with re-
p spect to workers rights and
which, incidentally, criticized
supervisors was to be discour-
aged"
Originally, six workers we're dis.
missed under "inefficiency"
charges. Four were previously re
instated after vigorous protests by

Pickford of Yale University.
This animal is the vampyromorpha.
1t is closely allied to the octopuses and
the cuttlefish. 1t is jet black and the
surface of its body is studded with lumin-
Gus organs. 1t lives at great depths In
the sea. The creature has weakly de-
veloped muscles. compared with better
known members of the octopus family
and its tissues are of gelatinous con-
sistency.
1t is small. If it had the same size

appearance, the most fearsOme creature
of the seas.
Dr. Pickford described 1t as q new
species on the basis Of two specimens in

octopus and the Squid, she said, its
anatomy leads to the conclusion that it

Inadequate Recognition.

Because OF his unique and distin-
guished services to the Government, ex-
tending over period of more than half
. century, the obviously inadequate re-
tirement pay Of William H. Moran, for
mer chief Of the Secret Service, has
attracted extraordinary attention. The
inadequate amount of his annuity was
recognized last year in the introduc-
ton, and Senate passage, OF q bill which
would have given him $4,000, instead
Of $500, for life. Failure Of the bill
to pass the House was perhaps due
70 fear Of expensive precedent. There
are hundreds Of others in the Govern
inent service whose early retirement
might bring similar, II not as we'll sus-
tanned, demands for special legislation.
The explanation OF Mr. Moran's low
retirement pay is the relatively recent
date OF enactment Of the retirement law.
The retirement law for the classified civil
service was not enacted until 1920 and
the intervening interval has not been
long enough TO accumulate the reserves
which would bring the annuitIes TO .
higher figure. Though Mr.. Moran's re-
tirement pay Of 81 500 Is low, In rels-
ton TO the length and value Of his

mere onlooker, taxpayer and retired

An acquaintance of mine, for many
years an active producer and mine op-
orator, after losing all his holdings, OBJ

spite OF his 81 years of age. he Is rated

automatically thrown out next year at
10 years Of age. In the rather luxurious
local hotel where stopped are several
young girls. They have civil service.
BY sharing their expenses they live
cheaply amid luxurious surroundings on
the taxpayers money because civil serv-
ice guarantees them good pay, and later
a pension, which is security of the
highest kind. The kind of work they
are doing brings them pay far in excess
of what my or any other industry
would pay them. Yet these girls, no
matter how capable, cannot contribute
one iOta to our country'S economic
wealth production. The old gentleman,
who has created wealth by his own
efforts and work for hundreds of people,
will have no chance whatever to use his
talents or make living under civil
service. Civil service ought to imply also
