BETTING ODDS ON PITTSBURG National League Winners \re Favorites To Cop World’s Championship Ry Henry L Farrell V. I’. Staff Correspondent New York. St pt. 29. —Pittsburg still remains the favorite in the beting sere to win the world s series from .V.i: ’: ngton 'which starts next week i in the National league city. Several firms had $5,000 to bet. ih. t the 1 iiates will win the series and the same amount at the same r ec that the Senators will lose the .irit game of the series.

"The better team does not always win a short series.” he said. "The at. al s are of the most vital importance and they can' be figured. The t’irate? and the Senators look to me like even money."

I* Heeler) Indianapolis, Sept. 29. — (United Press.) —A review of Saturday’s activities on the Hoosier college grid- > iron shows that Indiana will again 'be well represented in football during the current season. While "practise - ’ contests were the older of the day for state elevens dopesters have already begun to predict a very bright future for certain collige teams. a To the north wheer the Irish reign Kuute Rockne, Hoosierdom's master football strategist, has constructed another powerful eleven, one believed {capable of giving any team in the 1 county the supreme test. Notre Dame’s 41 to 0 triumph over Baylor university of Waco. Texas, furnishes convincing proof that the i Iris'a will again have to be reckoned i with as a contender for sectional honoi s and possibility that national ! championship. I To say that Notre Dame placed a green team on the field Saturday afternoon would be somewhat misleading as Knute Rockne has a numbei of experienced players around which he has builded his varsity machine. Although Purdue and Indiana do not open their seasons uutil Saturday. October 3, it is safe to say that | Notre Dame will again be the Hoosier leader. To close followers of foot ball the Irish victory against Baylor was expected. When Rockne men tioned that ho expected defeat he failed to indicate which team would be on the short end. While Notre Dame draws the major part of the state’s attention in the first week of Hoosier football ' other schools are deserving of close
