With the major league schedule coming to a close tomorVow, and jboth pennants decided, the fans year, will feature the world cham pion Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals in a series of best four out of seven games opening next Wednesday in Philadelphia. Betting already is brisk and, according to Broadway commission brokers, promises to be heavier than on any sports event of the year.

The Athletics at present are 13 to 10 favorites to win the series, W. L. Darnell and Co. having placed a $10,000 wager for St. Louis bettors at thoae odds today.

In some quarters, even better odds were offered on the A's. At Aqueduct race track this afternoon Frank Shannon wagered $1,000 against $1,500, taking the cards, or the short end. Reports in betting circles were that there is plenty of St. Louis money and by Wednesday the odds may be hammered down to "even money." Philadelphia fans were offering 7 to 8 that If "Lefty" Drove, the A's fireball king, Is selected to pitch the opening game the Athletics would win it.

"27 Wide prominence was given by the London press tonight to the speech of Charles Gates Dawes.

United States ambassador to Britain, at a luncheon at the Belfast city hall today, ln which he predicted the end of the current industrial deoression by the summer or fall of 1931. In his characteristic address, the ambassador, who was guest of hon or at the municipal luncheon, de clared: "The business fool of 1929 was he who had no fear. The fool now Is he who has no hope." Worldwide depression In business. the ambassador declared. Is always due to some sudden change in the attitude of the people.

"This changed attitude," he said, "is often explained In different countries as being the result of diverse causes, including unwise national policies, undue speculation, overproduction, under consump tion and political or social upheav als. "These, however, are more the ef fects of this change of general attitude than the causes of it." In the United States, he declared. a major business depression "has always been preceded a few months before by a stock panic Induced by over-speculation." "Many have assumed that the collapse of the stock market caused the later depression. Many have assumed that this correct forecasting of business trends by stock speculators la evidence of the composite intellj8n'e of th speculating Nothing couldbe more untrue," (Continued On Page 2.

Ticket sale at both Philadelphia and St' lxiuls were reported to be exceedingly brisk and the series is certain to be a "sell out." Even so, It will be a "million dollar series" because of the comparatively small seating capacity of the two parks. Shibe park In Philadelphia seats only 99.000 and the capacity of Sportsman's park In St. Louts is 38,000, foi a total capacity of 67,000. The annual world series got fat and pampered in the four years starting with the Giant-Yankee cjashes of 1923 when the "gate" was $1,063,815. Series receipts kept rising until they established a record of $1,207,864 In the seven-game series between the Yankees and Cardinals in 1926.

It is estimated that even if the series'between the A's and Cards goes seven games the grona receipts will be less than $300,000 it ia computed that each player on the winning team will receive a little more than $5,000 and each player on the lotting team about $3,500. The big problem confronting both managers Connie Mack ot the A's and Gabby Street of the Cards is centered in the pick of the starting pitcher. The right guess for the opening game mi, mean victory in the series. Recalling The Past Last year Mack amazed the bane-ball world calling on Howard Ehmke to come out of the pitchers' boneyard and baffle the Cubs. He did.

The Cubs were so surprised to see him. they almost broke their backs fanning out and drop- lped the opening gam. They had not figured on Ehmke pitching in the series. This year the experts contend Mack has no Khnike but you can never tell about this veteran manager who plays the element of psychology for all it's worth. Sure ly, they say, Mack would not trot out old Jack Quinn, or Shores, or Mahnffey or even Walberg.

They ay Mack's pitcher will be either Grove or Earnshaw, and Street's opening twirler Burleigh Grimes. Groves and Grimes each have appeared ln one world series. Grove who was suffering from aj blister on his finger, was used In the 1929 series only as a relief i pitcher, In the late innings of ball games, to mop up with his! blinding speed. He pitched 1-2 innings all told, allowed only three hitn, gave one base on balls and 1 struck out 10 men. Grimes pitched tiiit-o games iur xnuumyn in tiif 1920 seiies against the Cleveland Indians, winning one game and los ing two.

His victory was a shutout. RADIO CHANGE IN Vila 1 uvatu 1 mm a DETROIT, Sept. 27 Accord- in t0 nnouncem.t issued from the offices of radio station WJR, George A. Richards and v. stntlon, have purchased WCSO of t- irr.
