NEW YORK, July 9.-P}-Now
that Brooklyn fans are knocking

Ebbets Field, major league at

used for charity tits, the Dodgers
home total of IT'S, 1855 was much the
best.
Not since the Larry MacPhail
era in Flatbush have the Buns
touched the 100000 mark but thai
figure could be reached this year
if Leo Durocher can keep his
club in the race. Both the 1914
and 1913 home totals have been
passed by the current Brooks, who
have been seen by 100000 more
than turned out for the entire
season year ago.
During an 11-game home stand
Brooklyn drew 237,758 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 unof'

Despite the Bengals' squirt at
the gate, the New York Giants
are second in the majors with
589, 1923, most of which has amassed
in the early season season days
when Mel Otis gang was in first
place.
Fourth place goes to the New
York Yankees with 363,9 not q
true picture because Joe Nc
Carthy's gang is just coming home
to open a long stand against the
west.
Because the vagaries Of the
schedule called for two western
tours by the American League
eastern representatives and the
opposite in the national, the mid.
season marks should give the
Eastern National and Western
Americans a decided advantage.
Boston reflects the far-sighted
spending of the new Braves owners
by turning out 259, 704 for the first
half, about $4,000 more than the
club drew all last year. The
Mort Cooper purchase, Tommy
Holmes hitting streak and the
rum scoring power of Bob Cole
mans lineup appears to be the an
sWer.
Cincinnati attendance is the
poorest of the majors, approx

Premier Gen. KuniaH Koiso, fac
! Ing possible downfall as result Of
, continued Japanese defeats, has ac-
cepted a proposal to create new
totalitarian party in Japan, the
Japanese Domei news agency re-
ported today.
. A Domei dispatch, intercepted by
the Federal Communications Com
mission, said Koiso's support OF the
plan was announced to the I'M
perial Rule Assistance Political So
ciety yesterday while the Premier
was being bluntly criticized in the
Diet because of unsatisfactory
plane and munitions production.
In view of the present situation,
the government is in full accord
with the suggestions presented by
the TRAPS for the establishment
of national structure for victory"
members of the lower house were
told by an TRAPS director identified
only as Miyoshi.
in other words, the government
is also of the opinion that the crea-
ton of a political organization
which can really meet the demands
of the times is necessary.
mot only does the government
look forward to the creation of such
an organization, but it is deter
mined to lend its support toward
the making of new party possible"
Koiso's acceptance of the proposal
indicated that he hoped to use it to
prolong his control of the nation.
Proponents of the all-inclusive
new party said it should establish
strong and resolute administra-
ton befitting the pressing war sit
uation" and ''lay down a definite
course for the nation to follow"
