Red Sox 7 to Within Hour After Brooklyn Had Clinched the National League Pennant $3,500 Was Depos- ited at Doyle’s to Be Wagered Against $2,500 That Boston Wins Championship. | By Bozeman Bulger. 'N the early betting on the World's Series the Red Sox are favorite at odds of 7 to 6. The bettors are laying odds of 10 to 9 that Boston wins the opening game. Within an hour after the Dodgers were deci: the National League champions last night $3,500 was plac on deposit at Doyle's to be bet against $2,600 that the Red Sox would win, Doyle says the amount will be doubled if any one wants it. Another enthusiast left $1,000 to bet against $900 on the opening game. There is still another bet of $100 against $1,000 that the Red Sox win four games in succession, The shortening of the odds on the first game is due to the general lief that Rube Marquard will piteh th opening game for Brooklyn, and the fact that tn the series of 1913 he beat the Red Sox twice. Indications are that “Babe” will pitch the opener for Boston. There have been many rumors to the effect that the Red Sox are fa ites at odds of 2 to 1, but tha of money cannot be traced to its lair, The money at Doyle's ts the only real coin that has been shown, and the odds fixed there are probably cor- rect, Ruth Among basebal! experts, fans and players there appears to be no differ- ence of opinion as to the relative strength of the two clubs, The Red Sox, undoubtedly, are the stronger, but as @ seven-game series often es- capes the influence of form, there are those who profess to believe that Brooklyn will come through the pres- ent crisis, as they have every previous one that has faced them during the season, As yet they have not fallen down, Just when it looked as if they had crumpled and the Phillies were sure of winning, the Dodgers rallied, struck out from the shoulder and beat the Giants twice while the Phillies were dropping three out of four to the Braves, Whether they care for Owner| Ebbets or not the fans of New York) the victory of Manager Robinson and his Dodgers in uproar- fous fashion last night.

New York simply glories in the achievement of the fa- mous old catcher and former coach of the Giants. Wilbert Robinson's career in base- ball, by the way, has been an unusual) one.

In age and experience the Boston Americans are veterans who have been tried and proved winners in many a hard- fought league and world's serles drive. Taking the players on the club roster it will be found that their average age is twenty-seven agd a half years, and their average years in professional baseball a trifi@ over seven. So far as their physical statistics are concerned, it is shown that they average 174 pounds per man, and in height 6 feet 102-3 inches, Sttange as it may appear, but one player hails from Boston, the remainder of the team conting trom all parts of the country to form the champtonship combination which won the American League pennant after one of the hardest fights in the history of the Junior league, The one player who can really call Boston his home is Janvrin, a utility inftelder, who may fill second base position because of Capt. Jack “arry'’s injured hand, The other men eligible to participate in the title play as members of the Red Sox, and to share in the consequent reward, come from places widely separated, many of them in obscure corners of the land lifted to public notice only by the appearance of their citizens as members of a world’s series contending team, The age, weight, height and home of each playe appended tabulation as well as how he bats and throw is shown in the ta, Throws, | Home, ny % arty B, Hooper Harold @ Janvrin Sain P.
