Baseball as drawing card, on this Coast at least, is on the de- cline. It still has tremendous following, and always will have but the tmnstiles generally probably never will register the same high figures as formerly
 There is no diminution of the number who retain their interest in the game, but many of those who formerly were regular patrons are now newspaper fans" and take their baseball along with their meals. Baseball always will be a major sport. but the attendance Of half a decade ago will not be du- plicated
 Some attribute the comparatively small attendance throughout the country to the late Federal League, which unQuestionably worked a vast amount of harm to the game.
 But close observers are inclin ed to attribute it to golf, the movies and the automobile.
 The "hero" stuff is on the decline. Players are not idolized as formerly, and managers have lost their magic sway, speaking in the large. As for club owners, they can hope for no lasting renown, or even ephermoral glory. When anything Is accom- Iplished the men under them get all the credit.
