Tie fact that the deals in most
instances proved cagy moves and
that the club did not suffer from
the loss of the players seemed to
make no difference to the fans.
They had been done wrong, that
all
Anyway, we received very
courteous letter from Breadon in
which he pointed out the low at
tendance in st. Louis compared
with that of some other cities was
due to geographical and population
circumstances rather than to any
policy of the club.
Mr.. Breadon had figures to prove
his point. He had the areas from
which the various clubs draw their
trade, and the population figures
of those areas, all mapped out like
d fever chart, and he pretty well
convinced us of his point.
His point was that St. Louis was
forced to rely for its patronage on
territory extending for hundreds of
miles around, and that, with the
gasoline problem then a big factor,
as it is now, attendance naturally
would drop.
Well, based on Mr.. Breadon' s
argument, the Browns are up
against the same situation, as il
there aren't enough fans to support
the Cards in the style to which
they would like to become accus-
tomed, there wouldn't be enough
fang il st. Louis proper to give
the Browns a rousing attendance
total, either.
At any rate, it's a theory, and
if it is wrong maybe someone will

Browns Potter Suspended
For 'Spit-Ball' Violation

CHICAGO, July 21.-(P)- Pitch.
er Nelson Potter, a nine to five
game winner with the league lead
Ing ST. Louis Browns, was suspend
ed by President Will Harridge of
the American League today pend.
ing investigation of Umpire Cal
Hubbard's charges that Potter had
violated the rules of pitching by
using the outlawed "spit-ball."
Nelson was elected in the fifth
inning of the St. Louis New York
Yankee game in St. Louis last
night by Hubbard after the UNI
pire and Luke Sewell, manager of
the Browns engaged in an argu-
ment that brought a shower of pop
bottles and hats onto the field.
Under the rules, Harridge must
suspend Potter for ten days. Har-
ridge withheld further action or
comment pending receipt of I'm.
pire Hubbard's report.
In st. Louis, Hubbard said he
did not need any more evidence
than what l saw Potter doing re-
peatedly."
Il warned Potter in previous
games" Hubbard added, land
feel l have given him every break
possible. Sewel forced the issue
by kicking about Borowy's (Henry
borowy OF the Yankees) pitching
methods. Warnings to Potter were
not prompted by any protest from
the Yankee side until after Sew
ell asked me to warn Borowy.
Then l saw Potter blowing on
his fingers and told him that he
couldn't fool me-he WAS mnisten.
