IHTIGE CROWDS PROVE BASEBALL MORE POPUL
DRAW.
!: RECORD HUB
TURNOUT
By BABE RUTH

Baseball has drawn some won
derful testimonials from the fans
this season in the form of ire
mendous turnouts at several OF
the games. In view of condi'
tions everywhere these crowds
mean more than some OF the
great gatherings of the past,
when everybody had plenty OF
money to spend, and everybody
seemed to be spending it.
. I have in mind three gather
ings at the Yankee Stadium
within a space of four days, a
record breaking crowd at Braves
Field, a capacity attendance IN
Cleveland for game with the
Athletics, and some turnouts IN
Chicago for games played by the
Cubs. There we're other games
which drew remarkably well,
know, but these mention were
top markers.
The Yankees played to a crowd
Of $4,000 for a Thursday double
header with the Washington
Griffmen and two days later
the same teams drew close to
$4,000. The day after the Grift-
men left New York the Athletics
came to the Stadium and 10000
fans clicked the turnstiles to see
them.
Greatest Hub Crowd
On the same day the Braves
and Phillies played to more than
$1,000 in Boston, this being the
greatest crowd that ever saw a
game in the Hub.
1 believe that crowds Of this
size today are as remarkable as
gatherings of 10 or IS thousand
more people would have been
three or four years ago. The
pennant races really have not be.
gun to sizZle so the results Of
these contests naturally do not
create as much interest and ex-
element as if the games were be-
ing played late in the season. I
guess the fans want their baseball.
Baseball enthusiasm this spring
has been at a higt point in two
cities where interest has been
rather low for years. I refer to
Boston and Cincinnati. Both
cities deserve a winner after years
of failure. When the Braves first
began to show squirt many of
their admirers figured they were
playing over their heads,
Couldn't Believe 1t
They couldn't believe it when
the Boston team went through
the West so sensationally winning
from the Cubs. Cardinals and
Pirates and losing only to the
Reds. The Braves had done well
in the East before starting on this
trip and they came back later to
continue their fine work against
the Eastern clubs. McKechnie's
men won five of their first six
games with the Giants this season
and four out Of five from the
Dodgers, these two being consid-
cred the cream of the East.
It doesn't strike me that the
Braves can hold the pace they
have set, but I surely would like
to see them.

j. s. COULD USE
COAST BOYS IN
OLYMP|CS
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Our American Olympic finance
committee realizes that there is
ally a depression.
This committee is charged with
the unenviable task of raising
$3.50, 900 to defray expenses of our
American Olympic team in the
ninth Olympiad at Los Angeles
this summer.
The committee, apparently, is
worried. Thus far the amount
of money collected is far short Of
the goal set.
All Of which suggests a simple
economical plan.
Why not leave our national
athletic honor, glory and reputa-
ton to our capable Pacific Coast
athletes?
Effect Saving
So far as track and field are
concerned, it appears that the
United States can win the
Olympics with only West Coast
athletes as our national repre-
sentatives. This move would ef.
feet quite a saving. Further,
Americans should feel happy to
have our West Coast boys act for
the whole country. Some ath-
letes, those Pacific Coast boys!
Some notion Of how good the
West Coast athletes are and how
safe the country would be in per.
mitting them to perform for the
United States may be gained from

MUIRFIELD, Scotland, May 2S'
John De Forest, 25-year.old son OF
a British baron, was 4 up on
Eric Fiddian, veteran tournament
player, at the end Of the first 1S
holes of the 36-hole final Of the
British amateur golf champion
ship here today. De Forest was 8
up on his opponent at the ninth,
going out in SO to Fiddian's 4S.
The Londoner got away to an
amazing start, winning six Of the
first seven holes. Fiddian was
completely outplayed, and his
putting was particularly weak.
The finalists drove off the first
tee under trying weather condi-
tions, a strong northeast wind
blowing across the course to make
accuracy a matter of great skill.
A heavy mist slowed ,up the
greens, and clouds and mist CON-
bined to make visibility bad.

ment OF very great Importance.
Esthetic Appeal Sidetracked.
"A markedly different situation ex-
lists in regard to governmental build
ings, state houses. post offices, city
halls, court houses, public schools This
class of work has far greater perma-
nence and permits more time for care
ful study than does commercial build
ing, but places considerably less empha-
sis on esthetic appeal.
The officials in charge Of it are
little affected by popular response to
architectural appearance, but are very
sensitive to accusations of faulty con-
struction or extravaganza. Bad con-
crete will damn a public servant far
more seriously than many eyesoFes.
Somewhere between commercial and
government building stands the archi-
lecture of semi-public institutions. such
as hospitals and colleges. Though
projects of this type are often partially
financed by public grants, the control
of the expenditure and responsibility
for the architectural results usually
rest with non-political trustees.
Two factors alone initiate against
the outstanding esthetic success Of our
institutional architecture A slightly
sentimental attitude toward college life
that tends to produce archaiStic the
atricality, and the fact that charitable
organizations can rarely keep abreast
of the demands upon them, and must,
consequently, sacrifice some of the
quality of their architecture for simple
quantity.
Cultural Foundations Stand Out.
I'm a somewhat similar but even
more favorable situation, from the
architectural point of view, are cul-
tural foundations. such as libraries, mu-
seums, endowed auditoriums and
churches. Here the funds available are
often quite adequate to the needs. they
are administered by non-political
trustees, and from the very nature of
the institutions esthetic considera-
tions become of prime importance. In
consequence, it is probable that CEN
tury from now buildings of this class
will rank as the outstanding architec-
tural relics of our day. 1t is certain
that contemporary public interest in
them Is great and architectural con-
sciousness much developed thereby"
