THE anti-Japanese situation, he saws,

tho general increase in baseball! through
out the country IL II unlikely that in the
coming sories to d.cide the worlds cham
pionship new records will be made
10 attendance for sir gle ganc or for the
series. The reason for this il that the ca
pacity Of the parks where the ganss are
TO be played il iusufficient to ersse from
the record books the top notch figures
that have been established in previous
years.
The largest crowd that ever witnessed
B sir gle game in = worlds series was A.
$40. which mas the announced official at
tendance for tho final contest Of the 1916
series bctwcon the Boston Red Sox Of the
American League and Brooklyn Of the
National League, played at Boston. The
best record for total attendance at . series
was made in 1912. when the Boston team
OF the American League and the New
York team Of the National League played
u 251 ,9O1 persons in eight games.
Ebbess Field, the home grounds Of the
Brooklyn club OF the National League
has been tested to it's capacity in one
worlds series, that Of 1916, and while it
II possible for betwoen 1900 and 1900
TO crowd into the stands and pavibons,
the largest official attendance there In
the 1916 series was II ,G22. tn. parks Of
the contending clubs for tho American
League pennant show no possibilities for
new attendance figures for sirgle game,
OF the likelihood of a new record for the
series when paired with the comparatively
small capacity Of Ebbcts Field. The
seating capacity Of the park at Cleveland
is approximately 20,7O0, whih that Of the
Chicago White Sox is IN the ncighborhood
Of $4,000 The largest number that has
attended worlds series gnnno At the
grounds Of the White Sox was "a y37e, the
official attendance at the fifth game of tho
series between the White Sox and Ctn-
cinnasi last year.
Thus it il apparent that it viii bo nm
possible for any of the parks whore the
coming world series viii be played TO
eclipse for 4 single game the attendance
Of 2,62O established At Boston in 1915,
and even with the blue ribbon event Of
baseball being decided in FIVE out Of
nine SERIES, the conditions established
hast year, il will be improbable for the
parks of the National and American
League winners to combine 10 beat the
attendance record Of 25l ,90l In the series
between tho Red Sox and Giants IN 1912,
except under unusual conditions and in
terest.
After the coming worlds series viii have
been concluded il is expected that the
total attendance at worlds series games,
since they were inaurirated under modern
regulations in 1903, will have gone be-
yond 2, 500, 900. Up TO and including the
