attendance figures, compiled dur /
ing the season by the Associated
Press.
There are the Milwaukee Braves,
who hit a new hometown low of
100000 last year, already more
than $4,000 behind that pace. Bal
timore is down almost 10000, Min
nesota more than $4,000, San Fran
cisco lin spite of a good start in
the National League) off more
than $1,000, and Kansas City down
some $4,000.
Some Gains
There are increases, of course.
The two Los Angeles clubs are
ahead of a year ago, and the Card
inals, Yankees, Senators, Indians,
White Sox, Philies and Red Sox
have shown gains - some sub
stantial, some small.
Milwaukee received a big league
franchise in 1861 Baltimore in "a,
Kansas City in 555, San Francisco
and Los Angeles (NL) in SO, Min
nesota and Los Angeles (AL) in
81, and Houston and New York
(NL) this spring.
The question does not seem to
be are such clubs as the AS, ORR
oles, and others now showing de-
clines planning to move, but rath-
err: can they afford to stand still ?
Whether you happen to be fam
owner or not, the idea in baseball
today is to make money. 1t has to
be. Operating costs have mounted
far beyond a point where a ball
club is a plaything - not even for
Tom Yawkey.
Texas Ready
A dropping-off of attendance in
the spring is hardly an alarming
thing. But an overall decline of
major proportions from one end
of the schedule to the other very
definitely is serious business and
calls for ownership to look for a
more fertile sector.
Whether the AS go into the
Dallas-Fort Worth area or not,
some major league club ought to,
because it surely is one Of the most
promising sections Of the country.
In fact, folks down that way con-
tend that it could be another Mil
waukee, when the Braves first in
vaded the Wisconsin metropolis.
Actually, there is reason to ex-
pect that attendance in both ma
jors will climb steadily as the
schedule progresses.
There apparently has been re-
markable levelling Of talent in the
American League, with all sorts of
strange names playing key roles
up and down the standing. Clubs
like Kansas City, Minnesota, and
Los Angeles are capable of upset
ting anybody these days, and there
is no telling how far they might
go as their rockies develop with
experience.
Good Bench
Cleveland, even under player
thin expansion conditions, has come
up with a good bench, a factor
that makes them a solid contender
in the AL. At the same time, the
Yankees are obviously in trouble.
Their Luis Arroyo, bull pen ace Of
a year ago, is now on the disabled
list and no one knows how long
Mickey Mantle will be out.
Boston, with Yawkey's almost
unlimited financial support, is I'M
able to add the key men needed to
give its youth program a lift, and
is struggling. But it is the sort of
young club that could catch fire
at any moment.
In the National, the Giants,
Cardinals, and Dodgers are ap-
preaching the month of June with
the suggestion of a three-club free
for-all. but Cincinnati still has fine
pitching and the Pirates, given

AfIanto Hotel Accepts Inter-
RueiuI Ball Team; May
cak Trand Eor InfaornfioI

Atlanta (ANP) - The Peach
tree Manor became the first At
lanta Hotel to voluntarily meet
the challenge Of Indignation forces
here when it housed all members
of the Jacksonville Suns of the
International League early last
week.
The Jacksonville team, which
has several Negro players, was
housed at the hotel, located on
famed Peachtree Street, after its
game with the Atlanta Crackers
baseball team. 1t was not immedi-
ately known, however, whether the
exclusive downtown hotel would
extend its services to Negroes in
general.
Before migrating, the hotels
management had released a short
statement saying, THE hotel has
agreed to take the visiting base

The move by the Peachtree
Manor was considered a step In
the right direction by leaders OF
such civic groups as the NAACP
Negro leaders have been negotiat-
ing with Atlanta hotels in an effort
to bring about Indignation. They
have also accused the hotel owners
of not bargaining in good faith.

New York Yankees for the 1862
pennant. At this writing they were
a half a game out of first place
along with Cleveland.
Baseball attendance has fallen
off in some sectors. But nowhere
has the drop been more alarming
than at Milwaukee.
So far in 20 home games the
Braves have drawn only 152,367.
At this rate the Milwaukee club
would total only 617,058 for the
81 game home season.
That would be down almost so
percent from 1861 and close to
$50 percent since 1857. Last season
the Braves drew 1,101, AL that
figure represents steady decline
from the record year of 2,215, 404,
established in 1857.
A few years back the Wisconsin
town proudly displayed a sign

decline is the honeymoon is over

JOHN THOMAS NAMED BOSTON
UNIVERSITIES Athlete OF THE YEAR

John Curtis Thomas Americas celebrated collegiate

23.S; 22O-yard dash: $50 sec; and
44O-yard dash: 49.8 sec.
None of these marks would put
his name on the NCAA tote sheet
for seasonal highs, but they were
good enough for him to amass a
point index unsurpassed in New
England track history. In a dual
meet against Brown he scored %
out of possible 80 points; against
Dartmouth, 81 out of a possible %
points; % out of 25 against Tufts;
in a Tri-Meet against Boston Col
lege and Holy Cross (both teams
having squads twice as large as
the Blu team, he scored % out
of a possible 35 to lead the Terriers
to an upset victory; and against
Army, in another dual meet, he
scored 10 out of possible 10, as
rain all but washed out the meet.
His most recent contribution was
when he scored PAN points out of
a possible 80 in the Boston Inter-
collegiate Meet to place Blu in
second place behind winner Har-
ward. This ran his total to 13412
points out of possible 1856 points
in collegiate track competition this
spring.
Marine Corps Bound
What the future has in store for
Thomas will depend greatly on
Uncle Sam. His plans call for an
enlistment in the Marine Corps
upon graduation from Blu next
February. If the Marines see fit to
station him near a field house, he
may get in the necessary practice
for the "a Olympics in Tokyo, to
bring home that gold medal he
wants so badly.
Until that time, however, it is
plain that to his fellow students
at Blu he has already earned a
gold medal of admiration, and with
this most recent honor from the
nations third largest privately en-
dowed institution, it would seem
that any further laurels will be
anti-climatic.

Minoso Out Of Hospital;
Sfur Lost To Cardinals
For Iona Period

st. Louis (ANP) - Although
he was discharged from st. Louis
Jewish hospital last week, orestes
Minoso, st. Louis Cardinals out
fielder, will be lost to the team
for an indefinite period.
Minoso, who suffered a frac-
tured skull and broken wrist when
he banged into the outfield wall in
a game against the Los Angeles
Dodgers last May II, has been
placed on the Cardinals, disabled
list.
According to Dr.. I. C. Middle
man, a team physician, Minoso
may not return to the Cardinals

June. He is currently convalescing
at his home.

the sports world when he cleared
7 feet in the high jump while only
a freshman at Blu. But John was
not always a 7-footer, and his
story should serve as an inspira-
ton to youngsters just starting
out in the athletic world.
Thomas began his high jumping
as a freshman at Ringe Tech High
School in Cambridge, Mass. In his
first competitive jump as a fresh
man he could manage only 49".
AS a sophomore, his best effort
was 58".
In his senior year at Tech, Thorn
as gave evidence of his potential
greatness. In the State Meet that
year he topped 6'8"A and while
touring Japan that summer, the
lanky teenager reached an aston
ishing 6'1O" 5/s.
The following fall he entered Blu
to come under the tutorage of one
of Americas greatest all-time field
events coaches, Ed Flanagan.
Thomas wasted no time establish
ing himself as Americas leading
collegiate jumper, as he cleared 7
feet for the first time that winter
in the New York Millrose games.
He has since cleared the barrier"
70 times to date.
First Setback
Then came a setback that earned
for him the unfair tag of Choke
up, as the youngster carried the
weight of the Country's interna-
tional prestige to the 1860 Olym-
pics in Rome. From the time he
set foot on the European contin-
ent, John was unable to find a
moments rest. Autograph hounds
and sportswriters logged him from
sunrise to sunset, leaving him
Slapped of strength when the
games begin.
The day for the high jump COM
petition came, and the seemingly
impossible happened-John Thorn
as, Americas best bet for a gold
medal, had been beaten by pair
of Russian unl1nowns - Robert
