Doyle, Broadway's prlce-mak er on sports events for 30 years, had a pad of paper in his lap, and he drummed a freshly sharpened pencil on the chair arm. The phone rang. The withered little man listened attentively. He said, "thanks very much," and hung up. Then he repeated the phone message to the report er "the Cards beat the Reds 4 to 2." He did some lightning calcula tions on bis pad. "Well, he said, that almost puts St. Louis in. It makes the price 10 to 1 against Brooklyn winning the pennant. These closing games are awfully important. If the Cards had lost tonight, the price against Brook lyn would be only about 3 to 1." The reporter said those fig ures were interesting, but could Mr. Doyle please give him ,the World Series prices. The little Irishman could, indeed. In fact, he already had figured them. 'The price will be 1 to 2 against the Yankees winning the series, whether they play the Cards or Dodgers, Doyle said. And it'll be 8-5 against either St. Louis or Brooklyn winning." The reporter interpreted these "book" prices to mean, in the language of Informal street bet ting, that the Yanks will be what is familiarly known as "16 to 5 favorites" against either National league outfit. Of course, you can't get a price like that against a book. If the Cards take the pennant. as they now seem destined to do, Doyle said the bookmakers prob ably would offer e to o againsi St. Louis winning the opening game from the Yanks, and that the bookies probably woud take 7 to 8. He said the opening-game nrice against the Cards naturally would be shorter than the series nrica because of the virtual cer tainty that Billy Southworth would send Big Mort Cooper to the mound in the initial contest. The price will be about s to i against the Yanks winning the series In four straight engage ments, and about 12 to 1 against the Cards likewise.

COMING BACK FOES GET JITTERS HIT BASE PATHS By Carl Lundquist United Press Correspondent St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 24 (U.R) The St. Louis Cardinals, who charge into bases with their steel spurs ready for action are mak ing National league lnfielders fearful of life and limb as they drive on toward the pennant. In the last two days, their op ponents, first the Pirates and last night the Reds, have made a to tal of nine errors and prior to that there have been two or three bobbles per game by ln fielders. Every man on the team Is a hell-for-leather speedster and whenever any of them get on base they just won't stay put. is apt to get sprawled headlong Knowing that at any second he by some wild-eyed kid, opposing lnfielders are overly tense and handle the ball like it was an egg. Take Frankle Gustine, the lit tle Pittsburgh second baseman for example. Usually a sure footed player, he couldn't accept a single play without stepping around furtively to be sure that he wasn't going to be bowled all over the sportsman's park turf. In the Cardinals final 8 to a victory over the Pirates, he erred twice. Once he dropped a throw from the catcher when George Kurowskl, the Card third baseman, who weighs 189 pounds and is solid as steer, came dashing down for a stolen base. Another time he fumbled Jimmy Brown's ground ball as Martin Marlon bore down on him on a hit and run play. Marion went to third and Brown to second before he recovered 'his equillbirum. Frankle Frisch, Pirate mana ger, who is an exponent of spikes-high base running him self, said he had never seen any thing like it. "You can't give them an inch," he said. "They are dynamite on base and when they hit you, man what an explosion."

The Padres came back with two tallies In their half of the frame but Jimmy Lynn rushed to Jess Flores' rescue and fanned Swede Jensen for the final out. Hal Turpin twirled Seattle's victory over Sacramento but had to be relieved by three other pitchers Larry Guay, Ed Car nett and Syl Johnson in the ninth when the Solons scored one run and had the bases load ed when Johnson strolled out and retired the side.

OVER DETAILS OF LI Washington, Sept. 24. (U.R) Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son declared today at a press conference that he was shocked by some of the details of the ar rangements for the heavyweight championship fight between Joe Louis and Billy Conn which re cently was given army approval. Stimson did not specify what details, he referred to were In volved, but hinted changes might be made. "I didn't learn the details of that fight until this morning," he said in answer to a question. "I have been shocked at the situation. I am making a per son investigation, which I hope will be finished in 48 hours." It was believed that the sec retary referred to arrangements whereby the fighters would get a share of the proceeds to satis fy their creditors. Oroglnally It was understood the entire pro ceeds would go to army emerg ency relief, but the committee in charge subsequently approved a plan whereby a share would be retained for the creditors.
