Predict Most Prosper
GUS Season on Tap.
BY FRANK GETTY


NEW YORK, April 9.-GOlt, radio
and flivvers we're popularity supposed
a few years ago to be putting base
ball on what was sometimes Slangily
referred to as the blink.
The idea now is as outWorn as the
slang. The national pastime had a
lure Of its own, all the way from
"one old cat" on the corner lot to
the climax Of the world series and
when the pennant races of 1928 get
under way this week the presence
of a quarter Of million fans at the
opening games will attest baseball'S
pennant popularity.
Presidents Confident
President John Heydler Of the Ma
tional League and President E. S.
Barnard of the American League
both have predicted through the
United Press that the coming season
will be the most prosperous and best
attended ever.
When the number of golfers in the
United States increased from a few
hundred thousand to several million,
peSsimists wrote the obituary of or
ganiZed baseball. When the radio
brought the game to every speak
easy, crepe hangers prepared bis
black bow for baseballs gate re-
ceipts The cheap automobile was
expected to depopulate the nation S
ball parks in a season or two.
Game Holds Own
And then the staunch old national
pastime went right ahead and broke
major league attendance records for
the past five seasons in succession.
THE same thing will happen in
our league in 1925" predicts Heydler.
THAT goes for our league, as
we'll" chimes in Barnard.
The major league season opens a
day early in Washington this year,
out Of courtesy to President Cool
idge. So seriously do the folks who
run the pastime take the business of
having the first ball thrown in by
some frock-coated dignitary that
they have arranged a special game
at Griffith Stadium on Tuesday for
the Presidents benefit Afterwards,
the Red SoX and the Washington
Senators will journey to Boston and
open the season all over again with
the others Wednesday.
Seasons Estimate
Twelve million fans are expected
to pay or crash their way into the
major league parks from April to
September 1928. And that is be-
leved to be a conservative enough
estimate Of this coming seasons at
tendance.
Both pennant races are expected
to be better than last years. Yet
both Yankees and Pirates are picked
to repeat. There is a widespread
feeling among the nations fans that
the worlds champions will not be
able to make such a runaway race
of it this coming season, but on
paper no club figures to beat them.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are rated
the strongest club in the National
League. but the senior circuit IS
better balanced than it was in 1927,
and every club except Philadelphia
has a fighting chance to make the
first division.
