"I'm offering no prices" he said, because we have a situation un- precedented in major league history. With the season little more than half OCT. both pennants are virtu- ally conceded-to the Yankees and Dodgers.
 ITO offer prices, would have to make the Tanks Is favorites to win the American league pennant, and the Dodgers IA in the Nation al division. And if I laid one dol- lar against five that the Tanks don't win, or one against four that the Dodgers don't, I'd feel that was throwing my money away. And certainly would get no bets from the other angle"
 The withered little man in the blue gabardine suit leaned back in his hotel lobby chair and added, "So I'll just take life easy for the rest of the summer. Oh sure, I'll get active again before the world series"
 We asked who would be favored to win the series.
 Doyle ran a hand reflectively through his sparse grayish-brown hair and opined that the Tanks will be favored over the Dodgers, "but only slightly" He predicate that this series will be the "grandest" ever staged, commanding more pulp lie attention than any previous classic. Also that the betting will De tight and heavy"
 nOdporS Stranger
 "The Dodgers this season are un- questionably stronger and better balanced club than the one which had such hard fight to take the National flag last year-the one that lost to the Tanks in the last series in five games" he said. Moreover, everyone remembers that the Tanks got all the breaks in the last series. Fitzsimmons was hurt In the third game when he was hit by Russo's drive. And the Dodgers had the fourth game won when Mickey Owen dropped the third strike on Tommy Henrich-a strike that would meant the final out. If Brooklyn had won that fourth game, evening the series at two games each, the psychological reaction WouM have been much different for both clubs and the final story might have been much different. The argument about the effects of that dropped ball will be a great stimulant to public interest when the Tanks and Dodgers tangle again"
 Broadway's 66-year-old price maker, one of basebalrs keenest students, emphasized that Joe Med- wick is hitting in old-time form this season, and that his presence behind Pete Reiser in the batting order, now gives the Dodgers the greatest "one-two punch" baseball has had since Lou Gehrig followed Babe Ruth on the Yankees.
 That Reiser-MedWick comblna- tion is deadly, as the Tanks will learn. he said, land the Dodgers have better pitching than any club in the American league, with the possible exception of Detroit. My boy. this will be one helluva series"
 Meanwhile, Jack said, the games chief interest is in the dog fight among the Red Sox, Indians, Browns and Tigers for second place in the American league.
 And my chief interest" he con- cluded, twill be relaxation and golt until world series time. No betting for the first time in more than 3O yccrS,"

Agatha Whitworth, however,
wasn't quite as enthusiastic. "Tay-

you to run off like this. Why do
you insist on dashing off some

silly within strikes you. 1 don't
like it, particularly"

a chance.

Hey, where have you been all

be to stand by and lend a chap a
little moral support"
I'm the one who needs the sup

Molla laughed. Then let's have
a dance and you can chirp in time
with the music. The orchestra

She grabbed Neil by the arm.
Tay stuffed his hands in his pock-

dance Of the evening and she runs
off with a hairy engineer with two
football knees"
He isn't hairy" Molla scolded,
"and I'll bet he's a good dancer"
They had taken only few steps,
but enough to convince Molla that
Tay was only joking about Neils
