BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK. May %. CUPD-Man
and boy, Jack Doyle has been watch
ing baseball and making book on it
since catchers took the ball on the
first bounce and handlebar NOUS
tache was the primary requisite of
a good pitcher. Yet, he told me to-
day in his odds emporium high
over broadway, that never had he
seen collapse quite equal to that
of the 1910 Yankees.
The man was at loss to eX-
plain what has happened to the
club that came TO the present sea-
championships under its belt. And
his reaction to the YANKEE slump
is worth four times as much as that
of Yankee fan or a Yankee hater
Doyle is without sentiment entirely
His business is betting and the odds
that control it. He would make his
brother an under-dog, or a dear
first cousin a long-ender.
He looks at any sport, whether it
involves an individual or a team,
with an eye as cold as a penguin
in a paWnbroker'S window. There
Is no emotion in sport for him
He looks at every game as critically
as an architect does a blueprint
Any mistake in judgment costs him
money, SO he cannot afford to take
sides.
Doyle was a red-hot Yankee en-
thusiaSt when the season opened
He looked upon them as one of the
greatest baseball teams of all time
one of those rarities that come along
now and then-a sure thing.
His opening line on the Yankees
to win the American league pen
nant was 7 to 90. On the chance
that you and your family froWn on
betting. and therefore do not know
what 7 to 20 means, I, as an old
rogue and black sheep, will ex-
plain. Seven to twenty means that
if, before the season started, YOU
liked the YankS and wanted to bet
on them you had to put up twenty
bucks to win seven. In other words.
Doyle had them almost at l to 3.
What GOES he have them at today?
Well, the Yankees can draw bit
of hope from the present Doyle
odds, despite the fact they they are
no longer the prohibitive favorites.
In his cold, dour reasoning, Jack
puts the odds on the YankS at to
That is the same price he quotes
on the Boston Red SoX. This can
only mean that despite the loWly
standing of the Yanks at the mo
ment. he considers them strong
enough to overcome the early season
lead of the men from Boston.
These odds are a tribute to the
Red Sox, too, because Doyles first
line priced them at 9 to 2 or Az to l.
Doyle has yet to be sold on the
Cleveland Indians. He admits that
Bobby Feller is baseballs greatest
pitcher. and that Oscar Witt finally
has brought spirit and morale to a
club which lacked these uplifting
qualities for years, but he can't see
