Seven MELLON
ATTEND GAMES
In the National and American
Leagues during the 1915
Season.

NEW YORK, Jan 1.--Although the,
last season is frequently referred 70
as one OF the worst, from a financial
standpoint, in the history Of profess
sional baseball, the attendance figures
do not bear out this statement. While
number OF the minor leagues slif='
fered heavy losses, the majors wealth
cred period of extremely trying con-
ditions In satisfactory manner. Care
fully compiled, although unofficial, at
tendance figures for the season OF 1915
place the attendance in the National
league ut 235,40O and the American
league at 1864, 400, giving q total OF
6, 1876, 800.
Going back to 1909 which Is geIiet-
ally conceded to be one Of the best
years In big league baseball In many
seasons the record books show that
the aggregate attendance In the two
major leagues was 7,S7S,10S. A COM
parison of the figures for the 1909 and
1915 seasons indicates a falling on Ia
attendance OF 1,17S,S0S. At first glance
this would appear to be a serious de-
lection but when the varying condI-
tons are taken into consideration the
showing is little short Of remarkable.
The Federal league attracted many
fans In certain cities where the lli-
dependent league played against or
ganized interests while the automor
bile, motorboat, golf and tennis also
opened new fields for fans to an ex-
tent never dreamed Of six years ago.
With a REIMBURSEMENT Of circuits and 2
general strengthening Of all the clubs
Of the National and American leagues.
making for closer and more inter
esting pennant race in both circuits.
there appears to be no reason why
major league baseball should not sur
pass all previous attendance hgutes
within the next few years, Il pros
porous business conditions prevail

paln-in-t Stomach Makes
Good as Catcher on the
Decatur, ILL.,, Team.

The old yarn concerning Harry
tegg, known In wlgwam circles as
Pain-in- the Stomach, has been revived.
Legg was full FLOODED Indian per-
son who busted into professional base
ball back In the late sos He per-
formed infield chores for the Decatur.
ILL.,, team, but always cherished the
hope of blossoming forth as q catcher.
His chance to do backstopping duty
camo during a game staged IN La
fayette, Ind. When Paln-in-the-stom-
ach was told OF his assignment, ne
gathered unto himself the first base
man Of the team-Iotz by name-and
held n long. whispered conversation
with him.
In due course OF time the game
started, with the Indian behind the
hat. The lafayette team got o man
ON first and then It was noticed that
Pain-in- the Stomach extracted some
thing from the rear pocket OF his
Jeans. But no one paid much atten-
ton to 1t at the moment, as 1t was
figured he was pulling out a plug Of
tobacco.
Well, The pitcher heaved the ball,
Pain-in-t the Stomach caught It and
threw to first, seemingly In an at
tempt to catch the runner mapping.
The throw was high and the bali-or
what seemed like the nall--soared to-
ward right field.
The runner raced for second and
then hustled on toward third when he
saw that the right fielder hadn't re-
covered the 'ball' But II wasn't 2

Pain-in-the-s Stomach had heayed over
the frst basemans head in the hope
that the runner would be deceived and

until the runner was halfway to third
and then he hurled 1t at the third

when he met Kid Williams on Sep
TENDER 10 in st. Paul. The blow that
lost Williams the championship landed
in the fifth round.
Billiards.
William F. Hoppe, Of New York,
Alfredo De Orc, of New York, and
Bonnie Allen, of Kansas City, are
again the headliners In the cue world,
as they were year ago. Hoppe re-
tanned the AL, 1871 and 1872 balkline
titles. He won the last named en-
blem outright last year and In the
only match for the 14-1 title this year
he defeated lKoji Yamada, 1900 to l.
231. ~
Although Hoppe has held one or
more Of the titles continuously since
1910, his supremacy never has been
so firmly established as this year.
This led to the holding Of handicap
1872 tournament at New York in No
yember, In which the champion vas
at scratch. He won five straight
games and on the final night against
Welker Cochran Of Chicago made a
worlds record run Of 3OS in tourna-
ment competition, beating the mark
made by himself at Chicago in 1895
by one point.
Speedway Racing.
The year 1915 was year OF speed
way racing. Road events held their
own and dirt track hippodroming
showed no unusual results after be-
ing wrestled from the control Of the
American Automobile Association.
There were few successfully pro-
NOTED hill climbs Of Importance only
to the communities in which they
we're held. and perhaps a dozen re.
liability contests, all Of purely local
iIltereat.

Champions, of 1915.

d =
With the exception OF baseball, pro-
fessional sports of every kind enjoyed
a phenomenal degree Of prosperity in
the United States throughout the year
1915.
Baseball's troubles were largely in
ternal. Many observers attributed the
decline in its receipts to business
conditions, due to the war OF the ma
tons; but business conditions certain
" did not affect the attendance ct the
worlds series games in Philadelphia
and Boston, at the football contests
between small colleges as we'll as the
large, at the rapidly increasing num-
Der Of race tracks, at the tennis tour
naments, and, in fact, at all forms Of
competitive athletics.
Money Lost In Baseball.
With a few exceptions nearly every
club in the country lost money. This
was largely responsible for the re-
cent end Of the baseball war. The
clubs that made money in the Na-
tional league were the Phillies, Braves
and Robins, which finished one, tdo.
three in the league, and the Giants,
who finished last
The American league money via
ners were the Red Sox, the Detroit
Tigers and the Chicago White SoX.
All the clubs in the Federal leasue
lost. while the minor league clubs
barely managed to last out the sea-
son.
1t is estimated that the money lost
through baseball last season was more
than 100000 1t was said recently
that Edward Gwinner, owner OF the
Pittsburg Feds, dropped $4,000 last
season, while the other Federal league
clubs lost from $4,000 to 100000.
Ty Cobb. the Georgia Peach" led

the American league in batting for
the ninth time, while in the National
league Larry Doyle. the second base
man and captain Of the Giants, won
the honors from Captain Jake Dau-
bert, of the National league with a
percentage Of $40. Cobb had the fine
average of .375 and stole over a hun
bred bases, establishing a new record
for thefts.
The best pitchers in the two big
leagues were Smokey joe Wood, Of
the Red Sox and Alexander OF the
Pbillies. Wood beat Walter Johnson
of, the Senators, for the American
league honors. Alexander was far SUI
crior to the pitchers in the National
league and held the lead throughout
the season.
Boxing.
No year since 1910 has been so
fraught with interest among the boz
ers as the year 1915. For 1t was in
this year, now in its sere and yellow
leaf, that Jess willard, the big cow
boy Of Kansas City, won the heavy
weight championship Of the world
from Jack Johnson, who had clinched
all right and title to 1t by defeating
James J. Jeffries at Reno on July 4,
1910. Willard knocked out Johnson
in the twenty-sixth round Of sched-
uled forty-fve round bout at Havana,
Cuba nm Anril g. 1915,
That was not the only champion
shin that changed hands. But 1t was
the one of great Importance. and as
a result it doomed boxing as no other
thing was able to do in the United
States. The other title that changed
hands was when Johnny Ertle, the
midget batter Of st. Paul, won the
