 Big Crowd Era Returns
BY ERNEST BARCELLA Jnited Press Staff Correspondent


 Boston, Dec. 16.-(UPl-Letting the sports chips fall where they may tbeing paragraphs on prsoperity):
 This year marked the return in a convincing manner of the "big crowd" era in sports -. by the same token, the "big gate" also had its best year since pre-depres- sion days. ...
 Here in New England, football, baseball. hockey, tennis, golf and boxing played to the biggest crowds since the. terrific twenties -. :. horse racing. too, drew banner ate tendances, with the crush being pronounced at the mutuel windows.
 For the first time since 1929, there were sellouts at the Yale Bowl (72,- OOO for the Dartmouth game and at the Harvard Stadium t58,000) for the Yale classic though the Boston Red Sox and Bees both finished in the second division, they attracted more customers than last year (when both also finished in the second division) ....
 An estimated So,00o saw the na- tional doubles championships at nearly Longwood that was the best turnout in 10 years ... in hockey, the Boston Bruins have played to 66,324 cash customers in Cheir first six home games SO far this season .. that's just 12.000 better than for the first six games year ago ....
 Boxing, particularly the amateur variety, also packed 'en in ... approximately 50000 saw the na- tional amateurs here last April ,., the Golden Gloves last spring and the All-Americas recently drew about 34,000 each.
 Bangta.ls Popular
 The first annual international open golf championship at Belmont last September went so well that sponsors closed their books with Q slight profit -. there might have been more emphasis on the credit side had 1t not rained on the final day ...
 People who like to place bob or two on the bangtails accounted for a big turnover in currency .. exactly 800 0,485,4 was wagered at Suffolk Downs. Narragansett, and Rockingham, and at various fairs and harness races throughout New England
 Boston Garden. New England's biggest sports emporium, housed l. 028,000 customers for the fiscal year ended last May Sl 1t marked the first time in the Gardens his- tory that the million mark was reached and the figure prom ises to be much larger when the books are closed next May :. Only last Saturday, for instance, 26.0U0 persons jammed into the Gar den for c beano Onaybe you call 1t bingo) party a week before that, a five-day winter sports show pulled in about 50.000 enthusiasts.
 As usual. the biggest turnout for an individual show was at the Bos- ton A. A. marathon last Patriots day this classic annually draws Q half-million people {. (the thing is free)
