Jackie Moore is one of his daily

NE“? YORK. Sept. 13.—With the
big fight. between Jack Dempsey and
Luis Angel Firpo impending. odds
began to lengthen last night. The in—
tor the
‘ crease of odds brought I rurh 0!
money supplied by Flrpo enthusiasts
who had been unwilling to risk their
coin at an earlier figure. Odds of
3 to 1 In Dempsey": tavor were ot-
tained yesterday.
On the Stock Exchange thret-
wagers of 83.000 to 81.000 were
made with Dempsey slated to win.
J. S. Fried & Co.. announced Ihat a
Wager of 89.I‘I00 against 83.000 had
been placed through them.
Al soon as Darnell & Co.. with
others. had lengthened the. odds yer-
terday the Firpo money began to 1p~
pear. it would seem that there exists
a reasonable number of sporting men
who figure the Argentinian has one
chance in three knocking the heavy-
weight titte crown off the precept

they refused to be interested in the
stack of money Which had been
placed in brokers' hands to ptace on

they have placed a number of bets

A few scattering wagers at 1 to a

also reported an increase in betting

ters fall into slumps. and emerge
from them just as rapidly. All Ruth
needs to do now is to keep on try-
ing. and not let. his failure to hit
get on his nerves. That was his
trouble in the last “‘orld‘s Series.
He worried and fretted so much
over his failure to do any hitting
that the further he went the worse
he became. ..
Hem‘t \Valked Sim-c Monday.
Anyway. the Babe can't. complain
these days that he isn't getting his
chance to bit. He tied his own ma-
jor league record of 148 bases on
balls last Monday. Since then he
hasn‘t received a. pass from Ehmke.
Robertson or Cvengros. That's the
longest spell this season in which
Ruth did not draw a eingle base on
balls.
“’aehlngton and Cleveland have
passed Ruth the most. especially the
Indians. Each of~these clubs have
walked Ruth twentyaeven times.
and while the Yanks have com-
pleted their schedule of games with
Washington. they still have four
more with the Indians.
