Mats Road Crowds
Off 10000; Home
Turnout Is Worse
Rv Burton Hawkins
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats drew 1896 fewer
customers on the road this sea-
son than last year and they're
confronted with drop of about
100000 at home, where they'll
have their worst attendance rec
ord since 1914.
Twice beaten by the Athletics
yesterday at Philadelphia, 1879
and 4-3, before 4,468 fans. the
Mats finished with a road at
tendance mark of 678.670.
The Mats need 1852 GUS
toners in their final three games
at Griffith Stadium to reach
the 100000 level and there's
doubt if they will make it. Their
remaining dates are with Phil
adelphia Friday and Saturday
nights and Sunday. At the mo-
ment the Mats lag 112, ,139 behind
last years home attendance.
An exhibition game with the
Ouantico Marines tomorrow at
Quantico will be the Mats only
activity until the final series
with. the Athletics.
VernOn's Lead Comfortable.
Mickey Vernon's battle with
the Indians AL Rosen for the
American League batting cham
pionship may go to the wire,
but the Mats first baseman cur
rently has a rather comfortable
seven-point lead.
Rosen, with five games left,
needs squirt to move into a
more threatening position. Ver-
non had three hits-all in the
first gaine-in nine attempts
yesterday to retain 1886 aver
age. Rosen obtained two hits in
nine tries in a double header
with the Tigers.
Vernon profited handsomely
between games. He was pre-
sented a 1853 Pontiac hardtop
convertible by admirers from
nearby lower Delaware County.
He also received a set of golf
clubs from the Mats and a num-
ber of lesser mementos.
Zernial Takes League Lead.
The first game was a battle of
extra-base blows. Gus Zernial
slammed his 10th and 41st hon.
ers to go one UP on Rosen for the
league lead. Eddie Robinson also
slammed one for the AS, while
FitzGerald and Clyde Vollmer hit
home runs for the Mats.
zerniars second home run was
an inside -the-park affair. It
came when Jim Busby banged
into the centerfield fence pur-
suing the ball in the sixth inning.
Busby was kayoed and Gus cir
cled the bases. Busby continued
to play after being revived. Wal
ter Masterson was charged with
the defeat.
Bunky Stewart, rookie left
handler, pitched a respectable
second game for the Mats but
Marion Fricano checked WASH
ington on five hits to win the IL
inning contest. Joe DeMaestri's
single scored Tommy Giordano
to break up the game.
Eddie Yost and Vollm e r
smashed homers for the Mats in
the second game, while Ray
Murray blasted one for the AS.

Attendance Mark Falls
By the Associated Press

American League club owners,
who will meet next Sunday to
discuss the Browns proposed
transfer, might well adopt the
slogan Remember the Braves!"
It is doubtful if the amazing
story of the Braves shift from
Boston to Milwaukee and the
tremendous loyalty of the Mil
waukee fans ever will be for
gotten.
In it's first major league base
ball season in half a century,
Milwaukee established new Ma
tional League attendance record
when 1,826,397 cash customers
came out to root the dark horse
Braves into second place. There
is no doubt that the almost daily
capacity crowds had much to
do with the teams surprising
showing. Even their most ar
dent admirers didn't dare for
anything higher than fourth.
Rookie Starts With ShutOut.
Although yesterdays games
had no bearing on the final
standings, an exact capacity
crowd of 36,011 watched the
Braves split a double-header with
the Redlegs. Rookie joey Jay,
making his first major league
start. shut out the RedlegS, 80,
in a seven-inning nightcap after
Cincinnati had won the opener,
5-3. Jay, 18. allowed three hits
and famed four in the cur
tailed game.

cluded the clubs home games
for the year, enabled the Braves

year and have won only seven

new coaches, a new spirit and a
new look. Disappointments of
the past are forgotten. This
could be the best team since the
Charley Justice era.
With Wake Forest having
proved somewhat of a disap-
pointment against William and
Mary Saturday, it appears the
Tar Heels will come up to the

A LETTER WE CAN'T FORGET

Most of you have read the letter in last weeks
from Burrs Ward regarding the need for doctors
and hospital facilities in Tabor City.
We think this is one of the most noteworthy letters
the editor that have received. Mr.. Ward
zes like other people in the that there is
desperate need for additional doctors in Tabor City and
all realize the advantages of local hospital
Mr. Ward has called on the town to put shoulder
the wheel and make effort to start movement
that will end with hospital in Tabor City. We want to
add our hearty approval to his recommendations
Getting additional doctors in Tabor City would be
easy first had hospital facilities here. Most young
doctors who getting out of school do not relish the
thought of coming to town where facilities for his patti
lacking Therefore, they choosing the larger
towns where hospitals available.
There has been considerable effort put here to
encourage other doctors to to Tabor City but
has been attained to date.
We by no means wish to intimate that our two present
doctors are Inferior Personally we think they are first
class and mighty proud of them. They doing a
splendid job, in opinion in the face of adversely and
in many instances extreme overwork
But even they realize the need for assistance, and
certainly they have long known of the advantages of local
hospital Again. do wish reflection
either the Lorls Community Hospital the Columbus
County Hospital to which most local people go when they
ILL., But do know that having such facilities
at hand would be of considerable advantage and might
well lives that lost because of delay in reaching
hospitals
lhere mas been an unusual amount OF money spent
for church and civic projects Tabor City during the past
three 1t would be difficult raise funds
with which to build a hospital. However when many
people get behind movement with the right kind of at
tude and work hard enough at it, nothing is impossible.
We almost certainly could get so percent of the hos
ptal cost from the Hill Burton through the Federal
Government The other so percent would be substantial
amount but if enough people merit in the project
can be accomplished, and would be all for the idea
Mr.. Ward has expressed himself. We would apprec-
ate word from others to the pro and such
project
