Ball Attendance
Not Off As Much
As Fans Expected
BY OSCAR FRALEY

NEW YORK. July 23.-CUP)-
I Baseball attendance has not drop
ped OFF as much as some peSSimiStS
expected, a survey showed today
with the national league playing to
less than i've per cent fewer Gus
toners and the American league
IL per cert under iS42.
The senior circuit has played a
total OF 246 games which drew O.
1926 fanS-an average of 9646
cash customers per contest. This
is 1882 less than the 2.492, ,748
drawn in the first 246 games last
season, when the per game aver
age was 1913 This means loss
of 487 fans for each game.
LOSS GREATER
In the American league the loss
haS been far greater. In 222 con-
tests thus far. the combined clubs
have played to 21i4775 persons
against 2,429,211 at a similar point
in the l942 campaign, deficit of
28i,436. Each Junior circuit game
averaged 1892 last season against
966l this summer-a 1881 loss for
each game.
The Dodgers continued to lead
the national league in attendance
but far under last season. Brook
lyn and the giants are the chief
sufferers. while the PhillieS the
Cardinals and the Pirates all show
increases. The other clubs have
also lost.
Washington comes up first in
American league attendance, re-
placing the Yanks. The Athletics
Browns and White SOx all show
improvement at the turnstiles with
the others falling off-particularly
the Yanks, Cleveland Indians and
Red SoX.
The Chief reason for the pay
window pains of the YankS and
Red Sox is the loss of individual
stars who served as crowd magnets
in 1912.
The Bankroll batting order in the
American league is as follows Wash
ington, New York, Philadelphia, De-
troit. Chicago, Cleveland, Boston
and st. Louis.
In the national league it's Brook
lyn. Philadelphia. New York, Pitts
burgh. Chicago, st. Louis, Boston
and Cincinnati.
