"I'm-offering no prices," he i said, "because we have a situa-j situa-j tion unprecedented in major : league history. With the season ' little more than half over, both pennants are virtually conceded to the Yankees and Dodgers. ; "To offer prices, I would have to make the Yanks 1-5 favorites to win the American league pen-I pen-I nant, and the Dodgers 1-4 in the National division. And if I laid . one dollar against five that the Yanks don't win, or one against four that the Dodgers don't, I'd feel that I was throwing my money away. And I 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 tak life easy for the rest of the summer. Oh sure, I'll get active again before be-fore 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 Yanks will be favored over the Dodgers, "but only slightly." He predicted that this series will be the "grandest" ever staged, commanding com-manding more public attention than any previous classic. Also that the betting will be "tight and heavy." "The Dodgers this season are unquestionably a stronger and which had such a hari fight to take the National flag last year the one that lost to the Yanks in the last series in five games," he said. "Moreover, everyone remembers that the Yanks got all the breaks in the last scries. Fitzsimmons was hurt in the third game when he was hit by Russo's drive. And the Dodgers had the fourth game won when iiickey Owen dropped the third utrike on Tommy Henrich a strike that would have meant the final out. Broadway's 66-year-old price-maker, price-maker, one of baseball's keenest students, emphasized that Joe Medwick is hitting in old-tirne ' 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 Enjoy your made with famous Old Crow COOL as the water from James Crow'$ original limestone lime-stone spring. nonxEDiiVnoxD 7Aode in tic Anew National Distillers Products Corp., New York 100 Proof U 1 cm OLD CROW HERAL D Odds Maker Predicts Great World Series Lou Gehrig followed Babe Ruth on the Yankees. "That Reiser-Medwick combination com-bination is deadly, as the Yanks will learn," he said. "And the Dodgers have better pitching than any club in the American league, with the possible excep tion of Detroit. My boy. this will be one helluva series. Meanwhile, Jack said, the game's chief interest is in the dog fight among the Red sox, Indians, Browns and Tigers for second place in the American league. Passeau Records Fourteenth Win With 2-Hit Job By PAUL SCIIEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 23 U.R Claude Passeau's 14 victories stamped him as the most effective effec-tive moundsman in the major leapues today but there's a psychological psy-chological angle to the slim, young right-handed Mississippian's success suc-cess the records do not reveal. Baseball outlawed the "Spitter" in 1920 but some of Passeau's success it's difficult to tell just how much may be traced to that very rule. Passeau scarcely pitches a game without at least one squawk to the umpires that he's using the spitter. He is completely exonerated every time and the whole affair has developed into a psychologi cal battle on both sides. The batters try to rattle Passeau by such charges-, and Claude attempts to throw their timing off by making mak-ing them think he's throwing something he isn't. Whatever he's throwing. this wiry college graduate -he athff offerings ' failed to puzzle the tended Millsaps college in Jack son, Miss., is one of the top pitchers in baseball this year. He bolstered his claim by fashioning a two-hitter yesterday when the Cuba whipped the Braves, 2-1. Kirby Higbc shackled the Reds with five hits as Brooklyn b?lted Ray Starr and Gene Thompson for 10 blows and a 5-1 triumph. The win was Higbe's 10th. It was the fourth time Starr had failed to record win No. 13. The Cardinals blasted out a 7-0 victory over the Phils. Johnny John-ny Beazley turned in his 11th triumph by holding the Quakers to 10 scattered hits. Joe iMaggio's batting streak was broken at 18 games but the Yankees won over the Indians, 5-1 in the 10th inning for their 11th in a row. DiMaggio failed to get a hit off Al Milnar in three official times at bat. I TOO LATE FOR I CLASSIFICATION I FOR SALE MISCELLANEOUS USED furnace, good condition.

Typically uncorking a belated outburst of basehits, the Timps of Provo Wednesday walloped Helper, 17-5 on the latter's diamond dia-mond to chalk up their seventh straight victory in the second half Industrial league race. Trailing, 3-5 going into the eighth inning, the Timps unleashed unleash-ed a terrific rally that produced nine runs in that frame. In the ninth the Timps added five more runs to enhance the Helper humiliation. hu-miliation. While the Timps were walloping wallop-ing Helper, Magna-Garfield was edging Pinney, 8-7 in a thrill-packet thrill-packet game featured by four Millmen homers, and Brigham City was defeating Gemmell, 7-4. Brigham took over second place in the standings by outscoring Gemmell. Joe Curia, Helper pitcher, yielded yield-ed three runs to Provo in the first inning, but managed to keep the Timps from scoring until during the next six innings. Mahlon Rasmuson, Timp snort-stop, snort-stop, poled out a double to start the eighth-inning rally. Don Overly Over-ly and Lee Brooks followed with singles, and the Timps went all the way around the batting order, everybody hitting the ball hard. Rasmuson got another doublo in the same inning'. Curia was jerked during the outburst. Lindsay, who followed him to the hill, was blasted out of the box. Dick Rlcci was called in from right field to pitch, but Timps. Provo scored its first three runs in the initial inning when Lee Bird and LaVar Kump singled and Ernie Jensen walloped a home run over the right field fence, his fourth homer in the last four games. Deb Dudley started on the mound for Provo, but was relieved reliev-ed by Lloyd Shepherd after he had issued three passes and a double in the first inning. Manager Lob Collins of the Timps announced today that Industrial In-dustrial league officials have refused re-fused to permit switching Sunday's Sun-day's Provo-American Fork game from the Forker diamond to Provo. A league rule prohibits transferring games. Managers Collins and Dave Greenwood had arranged for moving mov-ing the contest to Provo, but President Bob Bullock of the Industrial In-dustrial league revealed a league rule against transfer of games so the managers today changed the site back to American Fork.
