Now that Brooklyn fans again are
knocking down the fences trying to
get into Ebbets Field, major league
attendance figures are soaring to-
ward prewar standards with SOFA
IT'S customers paying their way into
the 16 parks in the first half of the
1945 season.
AS the majors ended three-day
vacation, normally reserved for
the All-Star Game but now used
for charity tilts, the Dodgers home
total of 715,465 was much the best.
Not since the Larry MacPhail era
in Flatbush have the Buns touched
the 100000 mark, but that figure
could be reached this year if Leo
Durocher can keep his club in the
race. Both the 1914 and 1943 home
totals have been passed by the cur
rent Brooks, who have been seen by
100000 more than turned out for
the entire season year ago.
During and 1f-game home stand
Brooklyn drew 237,7 58 through the
turnstiles to enthuse and mourn as
the. Dodger fortunes rose and fell.
Although President Branch Hickey
insists there will be no more night
games, now that the customary IA
have been played, the unofficial
books show the after-dark tits
pulled 357,858 of the grand total.
Hank Greenberg already has re-
paid Detroit for the $55 900 salary
he draws with the Tigers, showing
the pace in the American League
on a home attendance of about
SIT ,238. of which 270,182 was rung
up during the latter's Briggs Sta
dunn stand
Despite the Bengals' squirt at the
gate, the Giants are second with
$50 1923, most of which was amassed
in the early-season days, when Mel
Otis gang was in first place.
Fourth goes to the New York
Yankees, with 363,975, not a true
picture, because Joe McCarthy's
gang is just coming home to open a
long stand against the West.
Because the vagaries of the sched-
ule called for two Western tours by
the American League Eastern repre-
|sentatives and the opposite in the
National, the midseason marks
should give the Eastern National
and Western Americans decided
advantage.

Chandler 10 Be Gar
OF Baseball After
Session Today

Senator A. B. Happy" Chandler
becomes baseball commissioner in
fact today, but not before confer
ence at the Mayf1ower Hotel with
the club owners, or their representa-
tiyes. of the two major leagues.
Prior to placing his name on a
seven-year contract for $50, 000-a-
Year salary, it is understood that
Chandler will insist the Office. carry
with it the autocratic power that
marked it's administration by the
late Judge Kenesaw M Lands.
A gathering of National League
leaders was scheduled this morning
before the two loops joined in the
session to install the commissioner
this afternoon. The American
League, with all except the Detroit
Club represented, met yesterday
with William Harridge, president of
the loop, holding the Tigers proxy
Before the commissioner formally
steps into Office, the two leagues
will discuss generally what they
expect of him and 1t is certain they
will be told by Chandler just what
he expects of them. There will be
nothing left in doubt as to his
authority.
Affairs concerning the commits
sioner'S Office also will be discussed
There are matters of the transfer of
finances of the Office to Walter w
Mulbry, secretary-treasurer under
Chandler: salaries to be paid the
several Chandler aides and the
maintenance of Offices in both Gin
cinnati and Chicago.
In their session yesterday, the
American League clubs discussed the
new transportation problem and
agreed to reshuff1e schedules to COM
bat the situation. Some games end
ing series may be started as early as
! 80 in the afternoon as has been
the practice in Chicago this year.
Night games on getaway days for
clubs undoubtedly will be moved up
to afternoon play.
The Mats already have done away
with night date with the st. Louis
Browns. Next Tuesdays game will
be played in the afternoon to permit
the Browns to take an evening train
to New York for their next series.
The National League today was
expected to adopt similar schedule
policy. j. B. K.

In four consecutive games in 1887

In 1889 he hit 16 triples to lead the
American League in this type of hit.
Mats Crippled for Series,
Should the Mats lag in the sched-
uled three-game series with the
White Sox, it might be due to a
couple of incidents in last Tuesdays
exhibition.
In the fielding practice for the
game with Brooklyn's Dodgers,
Shortstop Gil Torres ran into the
path of a drive from Coach Joe
Judges bat-Judge was hitting to
the outfielders-and took a painful
wallop in his side.
In the Mats eighth turn at bat in
the game, Pitcher Marine Pieretti
after cracking two-bagger became
overexuberant and stole thirS base.
Now he is nursing sore knee, the
result of his slide for the theft.
These mishaps left Manager Os
Bluege uncertain about his lineup
and his pitching plans for the series.
He hopes-but only hopes-Torres
will be recovered sufficiently from
the wallop to resume work at short
stop. Otherwise. Hills Layne will
have to fill in at the post and, while
Hills is an earnest, working
infielder. shortstop is spot where
he doesn't fit.
Leonard Hurting Tonight.
Pierettis trouble does not affect
tonight's pitching choice, for Dutch
Leonard was ticketed for this game
as long ago as last Thursday. when
he turned back the White Sox in
Chicago. But Bluege was planning
to send Pieretti to the hill tonor-
row night. Now Mickey Haefner or
Johnny Niggeling may have to pitch
and Bluege had hoped to hold this
pair to throw against st. Louis
Browns, who follow the White Sox to
town.
If Pieretti can't go tonight, he will
have to face the Browns and the
draftee from Portland of the Coast
League has been sweet cousin"
to Luke Sewell's loop champions.
So tightly clustered are seven Of
the clubs in the flag race that it
seems the only way the Mats can be
assured of coming out of the series
with the White Sox still in second
place is to sweep the three games.

pennant hopes for the Washington
club are aroused in the heart OF
Clark Griffith.
The -infielder outfielder, who

Buddy back in there hitting strongly

Manager Os Bluege shares In
Griffith's enthusiasm. Buddy is
the boy we need to round out our
ouCfield. He ought to be ready tc
do some fine hitting week or JIG

played the outfield before, he was an
able addition to the defense" Bluege
said.
