Is Hitting
p(League
BY JIM HUBBARD
ASSOCIATED Press SpOrtswriter)

Pacific Coast League clubowners
have some new and lethal ammuni-
ton today in their battle to exter-
inmate what they call the No.
crowd killer, television.
The first available 1850 figures
on baseball video audiences were
released yesterday, and the report
is amazing. In many respects it's
frightening-unless you're in the
television business.
For example: the Los Angeles-San
Diego series at Wrigley Field April
4-8 drew 102,057 week day onlookers,
only as percent of whom were ac-
tually at the ballpark.
The figures are the current tele-
que report on the Los Angeles tele-
vision audience, published by Cot
fin, Cooper and Clay, Inc. 1t is
compiled in much the same way as
radios Hooper Rating.
A Sunday doubleheader between
Portland and Hollywood April APP
peared on about l73,300 TV sets.
The crowd at Gilmore Field num-
bered 1869 paid.
The April 8 twin bill between the
Angels and Padres lured only 2083
through the turnstiles.
Pei clubs resume hostilities to-
night, meeting, by decree OF an
oddly concocted schedule, the same
foes they met two weeks ago.
