Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, April 27.-Great
alarm already is being voiced in
some quarters over the drastic
drop in big league attendance.
1t has, indeed, been a disturbing
feature of the new season. But
note that there have been no
howls of anguish to speak Of
from the club owners, who should
be most concerned.
The truth is that. through the
golden harvest from. television
and radio, the majors year by
year are getting closer to semi
independence from the fan who
only a short time ago supported
them totally by the dollars he
left at the turnstile. The fan
still is picking up the tab, all

The Brooklyn players were
audibly disturbed and predicted
that If things didn't pick up in
a hurry it would be necessary
to move the club to Los Angeles,
or somewhere. Walter O'Malley,
club president, only smiled and
muttered platitudes about the
weather being bad and the sea-

worried at all.
And he needn't have been

boss man of another big league
club about a month ago. He
said that his team-no pennant

Of Pikesville, Md. Leo should be
fair judge of horse flesh as he
rode for about eight years dur
ing the late 1920s while in the
employ of Hal Price Headley.
The elder Cargile who still
gallops six or seven horses each
morning, believes Leroy is devel-
oping nicely as a rider and likes
the way he can whip with either
hand. He says he has another
rider in the making, his younger
son, Buddy, who now is break
ing yearlings at Keeneland.
