only for a few seconds. AS the Sec

By WHITNEY MARTIN.


NEW YORK, Aug. l3,-Sam
Breadon, president of the st. Louis
Cardinals. takes exception to recent
intimationS in this pillar of brass
to the effect that ST. Louis fans take
a scow ride down the Mississippi or
feed the goldfish everytime his team
is playing in town.
Mr. Breadon not only believes the
st. Louis fans are gold-plated when
it comes to loyalty; he lists figures
to prove his point and when you've
got figures playing on your side you
can't lose, unless they're pathetic
figures.
Anyway. here's what Mr. Breadon
has to say:
Il had census figures compiled for
all major league clubs. In COM
piling these figures l took the major
league cities and the population
within a radius of 100 miles. ST.
Louis had a 100000 population
within this radius. The city closest
to us in population was Cincinnati
and within the same radius Cincln-
natl had so per cent more popula-
ton than st. Louis, or 100000. 1
think when these facts are taken
into consideration that st. Louis
fans, with two major league clubs
to support, are probably the most
loyal in the major league circuits.
The New York area, within So
mile radius. has over 20,000,000
people, to say nothing of the other
cities. On Monday, June 2, in
Brooklyn, we played to 10000; on
Tuesday, June 8, $1,000. and on Fri
day, July is, we drew 10000. In our
last three games in st. Louis, with
Evening star., 1941-08-13
Cards Backing Matches Rivals
When All of Fan Factors Are
Considered, Breodon Holds

the Brooklyn club, We PLAYED TO an
average of 1000 per game. When
you take into consideration that
within a 50-mile radius. as compared
to a l00-mile radius, Brooklyn had
more than eight times as many
people to draw from as we hzd. yet
did not double the attendance for
weekday games. our showing isn't
so bad
I'VE have practically no transients,
and no leisure class, in st. Louis.
The fans who attend our games are
nearly all working people. with mod
crate salaries. and instead of being
criticized for not attending the
games I believe they should be COM
plimented on the number that do
attend. which is much larger In
proportion to population than those
attending the games in any other
major league city.
Il know that fun mas been poked
at st. Louis for its baseball attend
ance, but attendance at baseball
games should be figured in proper
ton to the population, like the sale
of any other article"
In reply to which all we can say
is that it's nice day, isn't it, if 1t
doesn't rain? You just can't find a
rebuttal for that kind of logic. The
attendance, as Mr. Breadon points
out, must be gagged on the number
of people available to attend.
There's an old saying in baseball
that if a minor league club draws
the population of the town it repre-
sents during a season it doesn't have
to worry. If that applied to the ma
jors, New York clubs, including
Brooklyn. would draw seven or eight
million, or around two and a half
million apiece. None comes close.

NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-Galloping
George Case, who was running him.
self right out of Washington uni
form due to his failure to hit, sud-
denly has reversed his course. His
present batting splurge may take
the form of job-saving campaign.
for Prexy Clark Griffith recently was
intimating Case wouldn't comprise
a portion of the Mats outfield next
season.
Over the span of the last two
weeks Case has been resembling a
stylish performer, what with batting
at a .394 clip and hitting safely in
IA straight games. He has boosted
his average % per cent, TO .267 and
has been no small figure in the Mats
Is triumphs in their last 81 games.
Griffith, who wasn't shielding his
disgust at Cases batting stance,
doubtless is elated over Georges
surge, for if he is calculating on
keeping Case he probably has been
encouraged. If he plans to employ
Case as bait for a trade he may be
delighted over the increasing ex-
change value.
Cases collapse this season may be
the result of an annoying sinus in
fection which has plagued him most
of the year. George, though has
offered no excuses for his meek bat
ting beyond expressing failure to
comprehend the reason for his skid
Georges recent recovery has
played a prominent role in improv-
ing the status of the Mats, who dis
covered themselves only three and
half games removed from sixth
place as they prepared to battle the
Yankees in a double-header here
today.
Lewis Hits HOmers.
The Mats swatted themselves into
that situation yesterday by dealing
the Athletics a 9-to-3 trimming be-
hind the siX-hit pitching of Dutch
Leonard, who was registering his
seventh consecutive win. The Mats
thus captured their first victory of
the season at Shibe Park, having
absorbed six straight defeats there
Outfielder Buddy Lewis, who will
join the Army on Tuesday If his
plea for an additional 60-day de-
ferment is refused, belted a brace
of successive home runs to present
Leonard commanding lead. Dutch
allowed only four hits in the final
eight innings after a shaky start.
Doc Cramer's double and Lewis
homer over the right field fence
staked Leonard to a 20 lead in the
first inning, but a walk to Benny
Mccoy and doubles by Bob john
son and Sam Chapman locked the
score in the AS portion of the in
ming. Chapman accounted for the
other Philadelphia run in the sixth

Three Ranking Muny

In Today's Play
Being Seeded in National
Tourney Means Little;
All Choices Advance
BY the Associated Press.


MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 13.-There's
one rule for playing the favorites
in a national public parks tennis
tournament. It is: Don't be too
surprised if you find the top-seeded
men on the sidelineS.'
Three of the leading favorites
risk their places in the mems singles
event of the national parks and
Fairgrounds tennis championships
today in completing the second round
of play. None of them will be too
surprised if they lost.
Being seeded one, two or three
in this tournament is no guarantee
that the late rounds will find you
still among those present. AS one
official put it:
Seeded rankings in this tourna-
ment don't mean too much. The
reason is that each year you get a
new group of players who are pretty
good at home but never have played
this tournament before and so, ma
tionally, there isn't much of line
on their game Not infrequently
some of them prove better than the
seeded players so don't be too sur
prised at upsets. Nobody else is
here"

clay courts today are Louis Faquin,

fourth; Willis Anderson, lanky Los
Angeles entry whose long -stroking
looks the best to date, seeded second,
and M. j. McLaney, New Orleans,
seeded third.
Faquin plays Ed Olson, a good
Minneapolis entry but not as speedy
as the Tenneseean; Anderson takes
on Ed Pearson, Kansas City, an
other long gated player who in one
match looked erratic, and McLaney
plays Morris Bodgener, a slight
Philadelphian who hitch-hiked to
get here.
