Not counting side bets! It went down to 5:1 right before WWI 1896 https://digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll17/id/55322/rec/13 Tie Clarence Dolan (U.S.) and Demouts (France) https://digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll17/id/47165/rec/14 https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
