NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Broadway
odds today say that, if you like the
New York Yankees in the impend-
ing World Series, you must lay two
dollars against the bookmaker's
one. If you like the New York
Giants, he will lay his eight dollars
against your five.
In addition, there have been
placed in circulation series OF
betting cards, with so different
combinations of possible results
against which the operator is lay
ing various prices up to SOL. His
shortest prices is 81 against COM
bination No. l, which calls for the
Yankees to win the series in four
straight games. Against the
Giants winning four straight he is
laying 25-1.
Either he's crazy or I am, and
that goes for the Broadway price
makers, too. I think the Giants
are a great bet at the odds. AS a
matter of fact, they aren't a bad
bet at even money. I think they'll
win.
TAKE 8 TO5
Therefore, if you haven't got
anything in particular against
money as such, 1 suggest that you
take some of that 8-5. There's
more than a fair possibility that
it won't take you. In case it does,
and of course it can, you'll at
least have your money running for
you quite a distance, since it prob
ably will be a seven-game series,
with Hubbell going in the first and
fourth games. Off his Philadel-
phia performance on Thursday,
he's almost a cinch to win one, and
maybe both.
I'd even say both, only you don't
beat that Gomez seven days q
week.
No matter what they say, I
imagine our Bill Terry will rush
his left-handers, Hubbell and Mel
ton, in there with all haste, the
idea being that the Giants don't
score often and, against good left
handlers, the Yankees won't.
HUBBELL A CHOICE
In view of all this too evident
fact, don't see how our Will can
be wavering between a choice Of
Hubbell and Schumacher for the
opening game at the Stadium on
Wednesday next. In case he is
wavering, however, I suggest that
he take a little testimony from

Senate. He said:
