mT Is a good thing that hall players are not as easily swayed as the fans. The odds on the world series shift from clay to day. The team that wins one game immediately becomes the favorite. When the Yanks won the opener there were wagers made at odds of as high as 9 to 5 that the New Yorkers would take the series. Then the Cardinals came back to win Sunday’s game. Now the odds favor the St. Louis team, mostly at 6 to 5. St. Louis also was favorite in today’s contest. On a local board those who supported the Yanks wanted odds of 4 to 5. * * * In the sixth race at Jamaica track today some of the handicappers name Fine Champagne as the first choice and Java as second. There shouldn’t be any argument about that. * * * mOE CANNING’S football eleven has so many candidates that Coach Feeney hardly knows what to do with them. A number of them, especially in the back field, have plenty of ability. It appears as though • team needs a couple of high ss and it will be pretty well "set. Last Sunday some of Feeney’s formations did not work as smoothly as he had hoped. But it must be remembered that an opening game is seldom a true test. It takes a little time to iron out the kinks. On the deceptive, delayed pass plays the line on the side the play was coming had a tendency to charge too soon. This left the man carrying the ball unprotected just at the wrong time. * * * Harvard has not agreed to give up scouting its “Big Three” football rivals. Princeton and Yale reached an understanding not to do any sleuthing. Wonder if Harvard scouted Geneva? This "Bo” McMillin used to bear plenty of watching as a player and it seems as though a few detectives should be put on his trail as a coach. * * * The best description of a St. Louis baseball fan is the comparison of Frank Getty, feature writer. He remarks that every one of ’em is “aquiver like the feeler of a Mississippi River catfish.” That tells the story. * * * OUE modern art of ballyhoo has reached a high point, perhaps best illustrated by the following telegram sent to newspapers and press associations by C. C. Pyle: Suzanne Lenglen pose for press photographers in Parisian gowns and sports clothes in the private suite on second floor of Vanderbilt hotel beginning at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Adequate lighting will be provided rendering flash lighting unnecessary. Your writers and photographers will be welcome.” MEDICS HOLD~TOURNEY Doctors and Dentists in Fifth Annual Golf Meet Wednesday.

Card Fans in Frenzy as Title Classic Is Resumed ‘Over River.’ By Mark \V. Childs United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5. —This city was one vast baseball camp today. From the farthest comers of Missouri, the remote hills of the Arkansas Ozarks. and even from the distant plains of Kansas a great host converged on Sportsman Park, determined to see a world series game. With the monster celebration accorded the Cardinals Monday, St. Louis came to the full realization that for the first time in its history there was a sport classic in its midst. Weather Clear There was a tinge of October coolness in the air this morning and an intimation that the day would remain clear throughout, with a slight chill. The cold was such that the bleacher fans who waited in line throughout the night to get a chance at the 7,500 seats blankets and hot coffee. The flag-draped streets were astir with life early. Many late arrivals who had been unable to find hotel rooms, had cruised the streets all night or had slept in their cars, parked along the highway. A street cleaning force had done much during the night to remove the effects of Monday’s gigantic welcome for "Rajah” Hornsby and his Cardinals. It was estimated that 5,000 were in line for bleacher seats before 8 o’clock this morning. Motorists From Everywhere It is not st. Louis alone which has taken pride in this first world series. From surrounding towns and States a motor host has come, many of them without tickets, but with the vague hope they would be able to squeeze inside Sportsman’s Park somehow. It was estimated that only a few hundred seats remained in the hands of speculators this morning. These were selling for I as high as SSO and there were numbers of takers for all that were offered. Throughout the night, the celebration that reached a crescendo with the arrh-al of the Cards Monday continued. The riots of noise kept up with only slight abatement until | well after midnight. Today, however, theie was a slightly sterner atmosphere. It was | not a celebration, but a tense strain-1 ing in hope of a victory this after-! noon in the third fray of the world I series.

BELIEVES ST. LOUIS HAS EDGE Hendricks Sees Card Victory In Third —Speaks of Mental Advantage. By Jack Hendricks Manager of the Cincinnati Reds (Written for the United Fress) ST. LOUIS, Oct. s.—The Cardinals gained a slight edge over the New York Yankees by virtue of their home-coming, In my opinion. I believe that with the psychological force of an entire city behind them, they are almost certain to win at least today's game. There is danger of over-confidence after today with so much cheering and boosting behind them. It seems almost a certainty to me tha-t Hornsby will pick Flint Rhem, one of the chiefs of his pitching staff, to open today, while Miller Huggins will chose ‘‘Dutch’’ Ruether. Os course, all predictions may be upset today, as they have been a half dozen times before this season. It may be that the mental handicap will spur the Yankees on to such an exhibition of baseball as -will down the fast and efficient Cardinal machine. But tbis does not seem to me a probability. Certaint-iy both teams are on the very keenest edge of condition. Their trip here from New York did not tire them out and the weioome which was given the Cards has not harmed them in the least physically, and has, in my estimation, given them a tremendous mental advantage.
