Have Averaged 5000 Fans.
Washington has played Is night
games at Griffith Stadium this sea-
son, Turing approximately l25,oOo
customers or an average of more
than 5000 game. That excludes a
twilight-night game that attracted
another 1000.
1t is significant that in these Is
games the Mats have presented only
one outstanding attraction-the New
York Yankees-and last night some
10000 fans poured through Griffith
Stadium turnstiles to view Wash
ington capture 4-3 decision at the

The Mats have played Detroit,
Cleveland and Chicago three times
each at night here, though, and
averaged approximately 1000 fans
per game. Played in daylight those
games probably would have attracted
crowds of less than 5000.
There is an inclination to brand
Griffith a radical and lightly dismiss
his enthusiasm for baseball under
