A caution light could be blink
ing for the Senators. Not yet,
perhaps. may the Senators
steadily declining attendance be
viewed with alarm, but unless
the trend is reversed Washing
ton soon could become the prob
lem city of the American League.
Only the Athletics, in hook up
to their ears and repeatedly
headed for Kansas City, will
draw fewer customers at home
than the Senators this year.
And the AS have the formidable
alibi that they're operating in a
two-team city.
Washington fans apparently
are fed up with a chronic second
division club and are expressing
their disappointment at the gate.
Since the Senators hit their peak
In l946 by attracting more than
a million customers, they've
slumped consistently to a point
where they'll draw less than

Only 1894 turned out yester-

Veteran Umpire's Future in Doubt
Bill MCGOWAN, Out for Year,

By Jock Hand

NEW YORK, Aug. l6.-This
might give you an insight on
Ted williams. who has been
condemned publicly as hard-to-
get-along with. ill-tempered and
self-centered.
In his comfortable home at
Silver Spring. Md. Bill McGow-
an. the umpire, is sitting out the
rest of the season. The doctors
sent Bill home from Chicago a
few weeks ago with instructions
to take a long rest. A re-exan-
nation in January will deter
mine whether he returns to
work again.
MCGOWAN. a fiery little fellow
who came up to the majors in
1925, is finishing his 30th year
in the American League. and 1t
was a severe wrench to call it a
season. @
There had been little publicity
about his illness. Bill just quietly
slipped out of the box scores
and Bill Summers moved over
from another city to take his
place on a four-man team.
"Take It Easy, No. l."
Last week the phone rang at
McGowan's home. It was Will
liamS on the line.
How're you feeling, No. II"
he asked. "They tell me you'll
be out for the rest of the year.
Take it easy and don't rush it.
Don't forget, you're still No. l."
That was all. Just a friendly
phone call, but MCGOWAN
couldn't have been more pleased
if President Eisenhower had
called. Imagine that" he COM

Writes in Column
BY he Associated Press

CHICAGO. Aug. 16.-Friday
nights All-Star Game was a
keen disappointment" says Arch
Ward, sports editor of the Chi
cago Tribune, which sponsors
the annual football extravaganza.
Commenting in his column on
the Collegians' 31-6 loss to the
Detroit Lions, Ward declared:
There have been pro VIC
tories in the gridiron's glitter
series by more decisive margins
!. =. but none in which the ALL
Stars had so little to offer"
The Tribune sports editor said
Head Coach Jim Tatum Of Mary
land worked hard to prepare the
All-Stars. but that che COM
pletely moderated the character
Of the opposition.
Ward said the Collegians
should gamble" more against
the pros and that "the head
coach Of the 1855 All-Stars must
agree" to this style Of play.
