TWO n. Y. MOGULS
DENY ATTENDANCE
At GAMES ELOW
John A. Heydler and Charles A.
Stoneham Quote Figures to
Prove Their Case.

NEW YORK, July 14.--John A.
Heydler, president Of the National
League, and Charles A. Stoneham.
president of the New York Giants.
Issued formal statements yesterday
denying assertions that the at
tendance at major league baseball
games had fallen off this year. Both
claimed the contrary to be the case
According to Mr.. Heydler's state
ment. the eight National League
clubs have played to nearly 10000
more paid attendance than for a
similar number of games in 1920,
which latter season. concededly. was
the most prosperous In our history.
baseball as sport is In a whole
some condition"
Stoneham declared that the increase
In attendance at the Polo Grounds
over the corresponding months Of
1920 is approximately % per cent
and offers to substantiate this by q
comparison OF his books.
In addition to quoting figures. tend
ing to prove that the Giants games
away from home have been more
generously patronized than in pre-
Vious years, Mr.. Stoneham has this
to say, about attendances at the
Polo Grounds:
Two of the leading New York
evening papers have recently been
running articles tending to give the
impression that there has been
lack of interest in baseball and a
tremendous falling off in attendance.
These articles are decidedly mislead-
ing and the New York National
League club considers II unjust 20
permit such an impression TO he
created in the minds of the New
York baseball public.
THE true facts are that the OPP
rosite Is correct; that not only has
there been no falling off In at.
tendance and public interest, but on
the contrary there has been a de-
cided increase.
1.-THE records of the New York
National League club show that to
date for the number Of games played
In New York city. there has bean
an increase In attendance OF rs per
cent over the attendance for the
same number of games played last
year. These figures are a matter Of

The name Bowen is pretty familiar
to Washington ring fans and at times
bit confusing.
Henry Bowen, aged twenty-four.
weight 1870, has adopted Washington
as his home. He has fought something
like twenty-five times and has been
bested but once and then In Baltimore,
when he broke his ankle and was
forced to discontinue.
His most recent setto was at New
castle, Pa, when he appeared on a
card staged entirely by Bowens There
he slammed Louis Bevens, Of Pitts
burgh. for the well-known count
TWO BROTHERS FIGHT.
Other Bowens figuring in the card
were Billy Bowen and Kid Bowen,
brothers. Kid Bowen has fought In
Baltimore and around this city. In the
Newcastle pastiming George. known
as Kid Bowen, won his bout and Billy
was stopped In the third round, max
Bowens in one night.
The Bowens are numerous In the
ring at present, and. moreover, are
getting more numerous. Billy Bowen,
aged thirty-one, is the oldest Of the
lot Then there Is George Bowen,
known as Kid Bowen. and the present
Henry Bowen. who fights as Young
Bowen.
And that isn't ALL" says Young
Bowen. There are quite q few OF us
fighting. The three Of US have ring
records more or less. Billy has fought
as a bantam and featherweight. George
has fought more than fifty fights. and
I have been In about twenty-five
fights.
HAS THREE OTHERS.
1--WE got two other brothers. Eddie
Bowen, who IL eighteen. and Ray
Bowen, who is sixteen.
These brothers have only fought
exhibitions. They put on q lively
scrap, and have shown before the
Pittsburgh Athletic Club and in a good
many benefit performances. In a year
or so they will be out trying to up
hold the name of Bowen. They are
flyweights at present and scale at
about los pounds.
IT nearly forgot to mention the fact
that the sixth Bowen is Johnny Bowen.
He's only fourteen, and is q paper
weight, I guess. az he weighs only
ninety-fiye pounds. I expect he'll be
fighting before long"
And with all the scrappy Bowels in
and about Newcastle, Pa Harry
Bowen. who is father OF the numerous
Bowens. thinks 1t is peaceful enough.
Though, as a matter of fact, the Bow
ems declare that Daisy Bowen. their
sister. tells them all where they get
off. Which is enough Bowen for a
day, at least.

while their nearest rival was failing

Last season the Pirates were not
contenders because of their weakness
