Show RED SOX WILL BE HEAVY FAVORITES It is a sure thing that the Red Sox will be heavy favorites for tho world's series, judging by early wagers made in New York. Whether they race the Phillies or the Dodgers, It makes no difference, they will be rated as the stronger contender for supreme laurels. laur-els. If tho Phillies should get into the big jambores, they would be regarded as more dangerous than the Brook- lyns, because they have Alexander, tho greatest pitcher of the age, and Alex Is expected to do much better than last year If he gets another chance. The Red Sox will bo about 10 to 7 or 5 to 3 favorites if they faco the Phils. Against the Dodgers they would be favored by 2 to 1 odds. Let It be said right here, however, that such figures would be false odds. In a short series of four out of seven games, there are no true odds of 2 to 1 in baseball. |
