Ae From the golden days of 1939 when over 330,000 fans paid their way into old Athletic Park (now Scran- ton Memorial Stadium) interest in pro sports has dipped sharply. Cosmo Iacavazzi, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Football League, lost a bundle in trying to inter- est area fandom in pro football. Arthur Pachter, owner of the Scranton Miners in the Eastern Basketball League, has hung on gamely despite dwindling support that has cost the automo- tive magnate dearly in the last few seasons. Pro boxing has staged a modest comeback based : on the individual efforts of first Jerry Tomasetti and now Dalton’s Bobby Phillips. Circumstances surrounding the past couple of shows, however, indicates that the fans have lost faith in the promoters and the sport. Harnessracing made an auspicious debut at Pocon { Downs a few years ago but as we forecast in this col- umn after the first two weeks of the 1969 season the losses at the mutuel window topped the 2 million 600 thousand dollar mark. Attendance was way below the 1968 mark. The ‘“‘flats”” made their debut just two weeks ago and already it looks like what we termed the biggest gamble in area sports history will prove to be one of the most costly ventures in our time. Steve Klessel, racing columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News, praised the operation at Pocono (based on a weekend visit) but pointed out that the $40 per capita wagering was $50 below the average for thoroughbred tracks. Wilkes-Barre, it must be pointed out.did well with their pro basketball team last season but the Barons were in a class by themselves. They made a shambles of the pennant race. So the story on pro sports is a sad one. This lack of support is one of the factors the com- mittee trying to determine whether the region wants a minor league club must consider. Quite frankly, after being more closely associated with the Scranton baseball picture than anyone except Reardon, I wouldn't invest a red cent in the operation. There are just too many other activities to occupy the leisure time of regional residents. One of the sad notes that came out of the baseball meetings was the fact that nowhere in the Scranton- Wilkes-Barre area is there a suitable ball park to house a minor league team even if such a venture were to be crowned with success. Don Moyer, a director of the Economic Develop- ment Council, told the group that 500,000 persons re- sided in the area from Carbondale to Hazleton. And he pointed out that some 17 million people come to Penn- sylvania each year for recreation. What Moyer said was true. But not even a Moyer can explain why in the area of which he spoke no one was interested in keeping the stadia we had or in planning one that would be suitable for all sports. The tragedy of Dunmore Stadium need not be re- peated. But when you speak about pro baseball interest and then note that our so-called recreation leaders, politicians and yes, educators wouldn’t invest $50,000 to purchase one of the finest minor league parks in the nation you get some idea of the apathy that existed and still does. The members of the current committee are men" who knew and loved the sport as we did but the lack of interest among today’s youth was evident by the turnout for the sessions to which the public was invited. Scrantonand Wilkes-Barrehaveshown conclusively that scholastic sports have earned their support and de- votion. They'd rather put their money on the line to see the kid next door run for a touchdown or sink the win- ning field goal. The pros have lost their glamour. The nearness to New York and Philadelphia where they can see the best of the pros has made the big difference. And when any baseball organization surveys the regional picture he is quickly convinced that any area the size of the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre market that - doesn’t even have a suitable playing site must be written off. Provide a stadium and the major league clubs will provide a club. As Shakespeare so aptly phrased it: ‘“The old order changeth yielding place to the new.” There's no place in the new order for professional baseball. At least nobody but nobody wants to invest in a stadium!
