Cardinals. is making rapid strides
in his bid to win the National
League batting crown for the
fifth time.

AS expected, the Browns have
been the poorest home attraction.

have coaxed only 7O.3Sl into

I22 games. At this rate, the Browns
do not even figure to duplicate
last years sorry low of 247.131.
Cincinnati has been the poorest
drawing club in the National

beginning to pack 'em in after q
slow start.
The Indians. helped by Sun

lead all the clubs with a total OF
400.023 for 18 home dates. Close
behind are the New York Yankees
with 393,833 for as many dates
