WHY ARSENAL?
London, Nov. 10.
A leading bookmaker in Tattersall's Ring at Leicester yesterday tried to make a market on the F.A. Cup. These were the prices he offered:
100-8 Arsenal
15-1
16-1
18-1
20-1
Sunderland Manchester City Wolverhampton Others
What have Brentford and Chelaca and Preston and Charlton and Leeds done to be included in the 20 to 1 others? And why should Arsenal, who haven't won a match for five weeks, be favourites?
