New York, Sept. is - (U.P) -
Toots shor predicted today that the
approaching world series will be the
biggest betting classic in baseball
history.
Portly, Apple checked Toots - a
tavern proprietor with his finger on
the sports pulse-quoted the
Yankees as 6-5 favorites to beat the
Cardinals in the series, and 6-5 fav-
orites to win the opening game.
These are the shortest series
prices I can remember" he said.
Last year the Yanks were favored
at 20-9 for the series, and at 1917
for the first game"
Is there much betting now?-with
the series still three weeks of.
II should say!" Shor enthused.
More betting than I ever saw at
this distance from opening day. In
week or so, 1t will be terrific. I
can tell by the hundreds Of queries
get and by the talk I hear. Natur-
ally, I'm not In the betting business
But people know of my daily con-
facts with the sports crowd; so they
ask me about prices"
Shor said this will be the biggest
wagering series because: Cd The
big sums being wagered at race
tracks reflect the amount Of loose
money in circulation, and CD Rare
", II, ever, have two teams gone into
series with public opinion so even
ly divided as to their prowesS.
The Yanks would be favored
more heavily than 6-5, he said, were
1t not for the question Of what Nick
Etten, Yankee first sacker, will do
under series pressure. The smart
money" boys regard Etten as the
big question mark Of the classic.
Shor continued, 1.-The Yanks are
favored because they'll have the
psychological advantage Of opening
at their home stadium. Spud
Chandler is figured (off his season
record to win two games; and Tiny
Bonham is rated good enough for
at least one win. However, no one
minimizeS the Cardinal threat. Billy
Southworth is expected to open with
Mort Cooper, follow with Max La
nier. and then use Harry Gumbert.

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 15.-lUP)-The
Marines to the contrary, 1t still
looks as If Coach Dana x. Bible
and his University Of Texas Long
horns will dominate the football
scene in the Southwest Conference
this season.
Outside the conference, the guam
tity Of seasoned players practically
will be nil, but the quality well
that's another story.
When the Marine Reserve Corps
moved out Of his camp, Bible didn't
have much to work with, but the
Marines also staged raiding parties
at other conference schools and
Texas flnised with q little more tai
ent than the others. Rice, Southern
Methodist and Texas Christian suf-
fered losses to the Marines.
The reservist windfall went to a
southwestern University Of George
town and a junior college, North
Texas Agricultural Of Arlington.
To Get Test
Southwestern, which may have the
sections best team, will have q
chance to prove its strength against
several conference squads.
Texas figures to dominate mainly
because Of its big squad Of $50,
composed mostly Of high school stars
and naval trainees.
Coach Jimmy Stewards s. M. U.
squad lacks reserve power but has
good first line strength. Letter.
men include two Of the leagues
best passers, an all conference guard
and halfback.
Rice has one letterman, q tackle,
but Coach Jess Nicely Is banking on
help from some good naval mate
rial and former high school stars.
T. G. U. Coach Leo Dutch Meyer
has one letterman, tackle, and
six or seven experienced naval
trainees.
Texas A. g. M. and Arkansas must
depend on former high school play
ers and AT prospects.
