SMALLER CROWDS AT
MAJOR LEAGUE GAMES
DUE TO HIGH TRICES
Readjustment Is Needed in the National Sport to In
crease Gate Receipts Now That Fans Do Not
Have Wai -Time Bank Rolls
By nOUEKT V. MAXWELL
Sports Editor Ermine Tabllo Ledger
BASEBALL magnates arc nulling frantically Into print to assure the
startled public that the attendance at tho ball cames Is not dropping off,
that business Is good and the game Is just as popular as ever. They are
submitting tho well-known Aggers, which may or may not mean something.
Tho fact remains that the fans arc not so numerous as In former years, and
any ono can see that If he goes to the ball park. Interest In the gamo Is just
as strong, but the fans are not going around with wnrtltuo bankrolls In their
jeans.
That's the answer for 'the sudden slump In gate receipts. The public
wants to see baseball games, but "can't stand tho freight. The prices haro
been advanced, which was necessary because of the added expenses In running
a, big league club. Perhaps after this year the old prices will prevail and a
two-bit customer will not have to kick In with four bits.
There must bo a readjustment In sports tho same as In everything else.
riayers aro getting abnormal salaries and the owners were forced to hoist
the ante to make both ends meet. When conditions return to normal the
contracts will not call for such big figures and athletes will bo glad to have
a job Instead of staging annual holdouts.
Few realize that the era of easy money has been washed up and a new
act put on. This Is because of tho enormous purses paid to boxers and tho
money paid by the customers to see the boxers perform. Tho $300,000 col
lected by Dcmpsey and the $200,000 by Carpcntlcr set a false standard for
pugilistic work. That was the largest amount ever handed to a pair of ath
letes, and It's a cinch a purse like that never will bo put up again.
Tommy Gibbons, a fair heavyweight, not bad, but not so good, becamo
n filleted with the frenzied finance germ, and when he read in tho papers that
ho was a logical opponent for Carpcntter ho made a modest, blushing demand
for $CO,000 for his end of the coin. This was a big laugh, because no matter
how good Tommy is he isn't worth that much to any promoter. One-third
of that amount would be more than tops.
That's just an example in boxing. Ball players ntso havo optimistic
ideas of their valuo to the club and hold out for huge salaries every spring.
Sometimes they win, but more often they get socked. Heinle Groh tried to
put something over and fltrved. It 'was the same with Itoush, Daubert and
Kopf. Wheat, Myers and a couple of others flopped in Brooklyn after at
tempting the bold-up game.
Increased expenses caused higher prices in baseball and In boxing. The
highly trained athletes were able to get nway with it when they demanded
huge bundles of kale lu the past, but there is nothing doing now.
TIIEREFORE there is no need to worry about baseball. The game
is just as popular as ever, the fans take as much interest, but
cannot stand the expense of attending the conflicts when out of work,
JThcn the prices are lowered everything will bo lovely again.
Boxing Gamo Is Flourishing
rpHE boxing game Is flourishing this summer. Dcmpsey and Carpcntler
X Stimulated Intcrcht In the sport, and tho record-breaking crowd that paid
moro than $1,600,000 proved that the mob will be on the job whenever there
ii something worth seeing. Over In New York last Tuesday night more than
20,000 saw Bob Martin knock out, Frank Moran and contributed a lot of
money.
Boxing shows arc drawing well because they are not so numerous. Big
matches are not being staged every week and the fight fans are getting just
enough to keep them anxious.
This has been especially true In Philadelphia. We have had only one
big outdoor show this summer, nnd it was a success. The spectators wero
satisfied because they Tecelvcd a run for their money. Next Monday night at
Shlbo Park, when Louis Malls puts on his special show, it should be moro
of the same. The kid promoter has put together a very good card, has a
lot of top-notchcrs In the bouts and the boys ore evenly matched. This will
draw a big crowd because the show Is worth the money.
Willie Jackson will be back again and stacks up against a rough person
named Jimmy Hanlon. They say Hanlon fights like Battling Nelson, but you
never can tell. Jackson, however, is a classy performer ; In fact, one of the
best outside the championship class. He is clever and hits hard, but can't
(.ten out into the front rank. He tries for a knockout in the first round, and
if he falls, usually gets wild' and goes to pieces. One night he had Lew
Tendler all but out. dropping him twice in the first round, but after that
Lew almost knocked his block off. In Hanlon Willie will meet n dangerous
battler and will have to be careful at all times.
Another bout Is between George Chancy and Johnny Dundee. They have
met before, but that makes no difference. Chaney Is anxious to put over a
knockout wallop and Dundee takes exquisite pleasuro In jabbing the slugger's
face. A fight between a slugger and a boxer always is Interesting, and this
Is no exception. The other bouts on tho card also are good.
After this show is over the stage will be set for the Leonard-Tendlcr
bout on August 12. This Is one of the biggest matches in the country and a
record crowd Is expected.
The best thing about It Is that high prices will not be charged. The
tickets, which will go on sale on Monday, will cost from $3 to $10.
TAKIXQ it all in all, the boxing fans in Philadelphia will have
enough fun and amusement this summer-with two big shows. And
in the meantime it wouldn't be at all surprising to see the attendance
at the. ball games pick up.
Pitching Is Helping Winning Teams
PITCHING still Is quite an asset In the big league. The work of the
Boston Braves In the last two months proves this. Four hurlcrs are
going good and many battles are bclDg won. In fact, it would not be at all
surprising If Fred Mitchell put over another Miracle Man stunt In the league
this year. Stranger things than that have happened In baseball.
The reason for Cleveland's success In the American League Is the pitching,
and the same goes for Pittsburgh. Both the Yanks and the Giants have not
be.cn doing so well in the box, and that accounts for tho standing of the clubi
In the races. Both were favorites to win the pennant before the season began.
Strange what a few good hurlers can do for a ball club. When tho
twlrler is In there delivering the other players buck up, play a great defen
sive gome and have more confidence at the bat, A good example of this is
the Chicago White Sox. This team was all shot to pieces at the start of
the season and nobody could sec them outMde of the second division. They
still are battling the Athletics for last place, but at tho same time are giving
the other clubs a lot of nervous moments.
Red Faber Is the bc.t pitcher on the club nnd looks like the be3t in the
league. He 1ms won eighteen games and lost six, being responsible for more
than one-half of the victories scored by his club. This makes us wonder what
would happen if filcasnn had'a couple more like Faber and Kerr. The Sox
would be up In the running and crowding the leaders.
THE guy who said that pitching was 63 per cent of a ball game had
the correct dope Von can't get anywhere without a few star
botmen.
Suits Wearing Out Jack Dempsey
JACK DEMPSKY has lost his new automobile again. It was seized in
New York hv a movie firm that is suing the champion and his manager
for a measly $100,000. The car, however, has been in trouble before and
should be used to It. One day It was attached in Philadelphia for an unpaid
bill, but later It was relcaFed.
No wonder Dcmpsey went home for peace and quiet. He has been sued
by everybody, and It's getting monotonous.
5ART0RIALLY, Dempsey wears out a lot of suits; but legally, the
many suits are wearing him out.

Long Hitters Use Light Clubs
By GBANTLAND RICE
' . Thrills of Triumph
Once on a tlmo when 1 was young,
And that was hardly yesterday,
My nerves would often get unstrung
Before the test of some keen fray.
Yea, oft I brooded in my youth
Upon my chance for this or that.
Of soaking homers Hkc'a Ruth
Or walloping some Dcmpsey flat.
I dreamed of laurels on my brow,
Rut since I've found, with truer sight,
llow little laurel matters ftoto
Compared to sleeping well at night.
rfDABE" ADAMS was a world
Jj scries hero twclvo years ago, ant
It has just occurred to him that ho'
could use his share of another W. S.
pittance by way of variety. "Bed"
Ames waited from 1005 to 1011 to col
lect the loser's end both times, but If
the buoyant l'lratcs reach the haven
this fall Adams will bo undisputed
holder of at lenst one record, ofllclally
known as the Long Wait.
Del and the Modern Ball
faTTOW far," queries a reader, "could
J-J- Ed Dclchonty havo hammered
ono of these modern lively balls that
keep outfielders against tho fence and
lnfieldcrn standing on one car?"
Wo have no way of presenting an
exact answer, but against tho combina
tion of "Larruping Del" and tho new
ball, If wo wero n third baseman, we
would think nt least an extra moment
beforo edging In upon tho grass to be
set for a bunt.
DELEHANTr nnd Lowe both struck
off four homo runs In a gamo with
a less resilient ball, where homo runs
were far scarcer than they nre today.
So there Is at least ono old-fashioned
record, even with better ammunition,
for modern snipers to shoot at during
the next week or two.
ttrYSLY think of old Fltz.'-n fight
J fan writes, "with hands as big nnd
as tough as Dcmpscy's arc." We'll
be glad to. But why not pass the same
thought along to Jim Jeffries? James
would get an even quicker reaction from
tho appeal.
