"I've been Watching baseball for a half century." he said, "and I've never seen anything nearer a cinch than the Yankees They had the bOM duh in the land for three years, and they’ve improved mor* than any of the rest." Rut it is a different story in the National league, when- Doyle lias grouped three clubs for a dog fight. He thinks the champion Chicago Cuba will win and has priced them at 3-1. Cincinnati is his second choice at 11-5, and Now York third al 13-S. He warned however, that these odds probably will not be final "After all It is the public that makes the price, and the betting tn the next 10 days may cause several shifts In the National league, he said, "but I don’t look for any change in the Yankees' price '■ Doyle'* odd* are the result of his personal observation nt the team, opinions of writers and other Imw ball men. consideration of how they finished the previous season, and application of his own mathematical system In 30-odd years of quoting basebail odds, he has mad* but one terrific error That came in I*l4 when he offered IW-l against the Boston I Brave* Discussing this year'* American ' league race.
