shore going to have Q big time IN
Atlanta on pennant-raising day.

in the Aston lobby. Atlanta didn't
win any pennant in 1913. Why, the
Crackers finished last In the seasons
second half
Big Earl chuckled amiably; shifted
about in the leather lobby chair,
and explained, you got me wrong;
I'm not talking about any pennant
for the Crackers. I'm talking about
a pennant for the Georgia fans.
They're the champion fans in the
Southern Association and, we be-
lieve, in the country. Our club has
awarded them q nag"
A disrespectful sports writer guf-
fawed like q tickled burro, and be-
gan, you fellers in the Southern
Association certainly pull q lot OF
screwbal stunts"
Fresh checked Earl ended this
word flight like guy pulling down
drive at short, as he snapped,
"this Is no stuntl Our fans have
earned a pennanti they're earned
national recognition; and they're
going to get it.
'"They led the Southern Associa-
ton in attendance last Season-for
the 10th consecutive year. I don't
believe the fans in any other area
not even the New York Yankee
fans-ever made record like that.
ITO officials of the Atlanta club,
this achievement is doubly remark
able because it was completed in
war time, and with little stimulation
from a last-place club. We drew
124,O57 attendance to our home
games last season. We didn't ex-
pect anything like that, because we
knew the war-pressure under which
the people of Georgia are working"
Prexy Mann, warmed up now like
a bull-pen pitcher, declared that the
completion Of this decade Of top
turnouts, despite adverse conditions,
proved: "a That Georgians are the
hottest baseball fans in the coun-
try, and (2) that they are "the ma
tons most unfailing loyal fans
to their home club
The man in the gray suit leaned
forward in his chair and demanded,
"do you understand now why the
Atlanta club is giving those fans a
championship dag?"
Mann said the 124,057 Atlanta at
tendance last season was slightly
less than for 1912, but, as he recalled,
the gate receipts were just as large,
because more fans bought better
seats. New Orleans was second In
attendance with 101, 900. Birming-
ham was htird, with 87,448.
Total paid attendance for the
Southern Association last season
was about 1000 He said. This was
about 10000 less than in AZ.
He concluded, "club owners
throughout our league are more con-
hdent about the approaching sea-
son than they were at this time last
year. The fans showed us they want
baseball; and now it's up to us to
get them the best players we can.
We're mighty busy on that job now"

Do You Know
Madison Square Mike?

I wonder if you know Madison
Square Mike2 Just another fun
loving American, like you or me.
(when we are in the mood who we
shall say invests like every other
patriotic American, in War Bonds,
each week, works In defense plant,
and then in his free time turns to
his favorite recreation. This relaxa-
ton might be chewing the fat, with
the boys at the corner drugstore,
or maybe just going home to read
good book, or still take the little
wife out to dinner and then to a
movie. But we are going to picture
our particular Madison Square
Nike" as an ardent sports fan who
is out for a good time and there
fore takes in all the big sporting
events in all his free time. Our
friend Mike, by coincidence favors
the brand of sports presented at
the Madison Square Garden, and so
he might, as he lives. works, eats,
and sleeps in New Work City. And
seeing as Mike likes the best of
sporting entertainment he can find,
he naturally in the winter months
turns to New York City's largest
and best outlet for such "Goings
On" Madison Square Garden.
Mike, nobodys enemy, and every
body's pal, tries to get the same
front row seat at the Garden for
all the Big Sports Events, and is
successful, as he takes subscrip-
ton and thus gets the same seat
at every performance.
OF course Mike knows many of
the active performers in the differ
ent Sporting Events, after years of
active participation, and 'eyeing'
them perform, down through the
course of about eleven years in
New York. Thus our vociferous
friend chooses the team or person
who is to be the goat as it were,
of his good time. This person or
team might be some of his former
performers and buddies, or it still
might be the referee or referees,
who one way or the other is the
goat in almost every event to which
you might apply the word, contest.
But keep in mind Mike is not doing
this with Malice Of Forethought,"
because Mike in my mind is just
a very congenial guy out for q
good time.
He boo's the players, he boo's the
Refs he goads the crowd into
Frenzy by his vociferous antics, in
his own simple way Of having
good time. But Mike like any sem
sible fellow, knows that he can go
Just so far. and he adheres to this
limitation, placed upon him by his
sense of fair play. Mike might be
you or when we place limit of
our fun at the expense of others,
just a good guy out for good
time.
