SPORTS OF TIE DAY
MANY FANS AT GAMES
All Attendance Records Shat
tered by National League.
Parent Organization Drew 5,808, 170
Persons to Witness Great Pennant'
Struggle-Boston Makes Re-
a.. markabIe Showing.

Attendance records were massacred
and sent into the discard by the Ma
tional league during the past season.
The parent organization drew within
it's gates 5,S0s,17S fans and near-fans
| during the course of the pennant
struggle. Contrast that with the g.
681, 176 spectators drawn to National
league games in 1909, when the for
mer record was set, and one can get
an idea of what enthusiasm was STIR
red up by the pennant fight in the old
circuit during the last season.
From June until September, New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Pitts
burg we're engaged in the thrilling
| fight for the National league champion
ship, which eventually put the Giants
in a position to draw a sound thump-
ing from the Athletics in the worlds;
championship SERIES
AS a result of that close contest and
the consequent enthusiasm, and like
wise the ease with which the Athletics
won the American league Champion
ship, the National far outclassed the
American in number of spectators.
The American league total attendance
was 3,962,35O.
The National league drew 2,102, 604
in excess of the number drawn in
1910. Most shocking in the list of Ma
tional league figures are those show
Ing the Boston attendance. In 1910
the Boston team drew 1887. In
1911 Boston drew 7o1,420: The in
creased popularity Of the Boston Ma
tional league team had its effect on
the Boston Americans and for the first
time since the organization of the
American league the Doves outdrew
the Red Sox.
Boston has always been recognized
hs one of the finest baseball cities in
the country, and also one of the best
American league cities. The falloff
in attendance at the Red Sox games
during the past season can be attribut-
ed mainly to the disruption of what
was once near-championship or
ganization by Owner John I. Taylor.
AS result of the sterling finish made
by the Maps, and the Introduction of
Sunday baseball in Cleveland, that
team drew 162,590 more spectators
than 1909. In fact, every city in the
American league boosted it's attend
ance figures except Boston and Chi
cago.
Chicago, New York, st. Louis and
Boston of the National league all out
drew the Athletics, the best drawing
card in the American. Every club in
the national league drew more than
100000. Athletics, New York and Chi
cago are the only American league
teams which exceeded that mark. Fol-
lowing are the American and National
leagues attendance figures for both
1910 and 1911:

THE economy and efficiency board is
! beginning to get results. 1t has
reached a point in its labors where 1t
thinks 1t foresees where a million dol
lars may be saved during the first year
of its existence.
At present it is devoting its atten-
tons largely to the item of travelling
expenses Of government employees and
TO the duplication of work In the de-
partments. The president and the men,
beers of his cabinet were surprised to
learn from this board that the travel
ing expenses charged against the treas
ury last year aggregated about $12.-
600, 900.
Just how much this enormous sum
can be reduced without Gripping the
public service in the least is still 6
question, but the members of the econ
omy and efficiency board are conf
dent that a great saving can be made.

Can't Have the Old Portsmouth

THE nav department probably win
be unable to comply with the
wishes of the people Of California who
have asked that the old sailing ship
Portsmouth now at the New York navy
yard, be towed to the Pacific coast to
be preserved there as q naval mu-
scum. The people Of the Pacific coast
are anxious to have the Portsmouth
sent to San Francisco bay because
she was identified with the early his
tory of California. She sailed into
San Francisco bay and took possession
in The name of the United States. II
she had not taken this action what is
now California might have become a
part OF the British empire, as two
British cruisers arrived there only a
few hours after the Portsmouth. The
San Francisco people want to use the
old vessel as an exhibit in connection
with the coming exposition there.
The navy department, however. has
received a report from a board Of sur
vey, which estimated that about $25,-
900 would be necessary to fit the old
sailing vessel for the long cruise to the
west coast. In addition the expense o:
such q long trip would be considerable.
In view Of the outlay involved in the

Economy Board to Save Millions

The heads Of the executive depart.
ments have received instructions to
pare travelling expenses wherever pos
sible. This order is applicable to the
war and navy departments, as we'll as
to all other departments of govern
ment.
OF course, the largeness of the item
for travelling expenses is due in great
measure to the laws under which men
in the navy and in the army, either
as officers or %privates, receive travel
allowances. The travel expenses of
the department of agriculture and
the department of the interior are
also necessarily heavy, and the same
Is true, though not to so great an ex-
tent, of the post Office department.
The Injunction that, has gone out
simply is that travel pay must not be
authorized except where travel on
government business is absolutely
necessary.

the White House. and long before the
present economy and efficiency board
was created, instructions went out to

The figures also show a marked de-

This is explained by the fact that
the manufacture of worsted fabrics,
into which shoddy does not enter as a
