AMERICAN LEAGUE
HAS BANNER YEAR
Major Leagues Draw 1851
600 Fans; Junior Circuit
Shows Big Increase

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-R-The
American league has the race and
the attendance in baseball this
wear but in view Of bad weather.
war and politics. both big leagues
can well look upon 1910 as another
banner season.
With the season about at an end,
1o,617, 100 fans already have pusheo
their way through the turnstles
and nine Of the 1e clubs can boast
increases in their attendance this
year over last.
The Detroit Tigers, heading Tor
the American league pennant, have
passed the coveted million mark
and Cleveland seems certain to 40
so this week with the lure OF Its
final series with the Tigers.
According to unofficial figures
compiled by the Associated Press
Detroit has drawn l,168 900 paying
fans to its home games while the
Indians have attracted 1858, 300 with
three games to go. The New York
Yankees missed the million Level
by being rained out of their final
anne, finishing their home pro-
gram with 989, 900. This was a
gain Of 81 ,OOO over last year, how
ever and showed the effect OF this
seasons tight pennant struggle.
Only Washington in the Ameri-
can league failed to do better than
in 1899 and the league as a whole
upped its figures 1,126, 900, making
$500, 900 for the season.
Meanwhile the National league
fell nearly half a million under its
total of last year, chiefly due to the
runaway race made by the Gin,
cinnati Reds, and has 4,74S, 100.
League President Ford Frick
said today that his circuit in other
years has drawn a million fans
during the month of September,
but because of the dwindling in
terest this year, would fall as much
as 200, 900 under its usual level in
this one month alone.
The great comeback of the Pitts
urgh Pirates since midseason has
enabled that club to show an in
crease Of 149. 900 -over last year.
The New York Giants also showed
4 minor gain, $500, but other Ma
tional league clubs fell short
The chief losers were the Chi
cago Cubs, who dropped 1913, 200,
and the Philadelphia Phillies, who
fell SO, 800 and the Reds, who lost
95, ZOO.
Last year Brooklyn passed the
million admission mark and Gin
cinnati almost touched it.
