LARGE CROWDS ATTEND MAJOR LEAGUE GAMES Major Leagues Enjoying Best Year Since Before Depression New York, Aug. 10— (U.R) Major ■ league turnstiles are clicking at i the merriest gait since the inflation area. Both leagues are approaching their best years. Already the American league has drawn 4.619,283 i paid admissions and the National league 4.107.222 for a grand total of 8,726.505. Each league is sure to go well over 6.000,000 with a chance they may hit 7,000.000 if the races don't cool off completely. The New York Yankees are ! shooting at all time records. They have played to 974.845 persons in 12 playing days at Yankee stadium. an average of more than 23.000 per game. On the road they've played to 7313.12 in 49 playing dates. The total for all Yankee games is 1,706,158. The Yanks' all-time road record of about 1,000,000 is almost certain to topple with about 26 playing dates left. The Giants top the National league in attendance with 900,700 for 45 playing dates at the polo grounds. Next comes the Chicago Cubs with 695.000 for 42 home dates. Although they've never really' been serious in the race, the De- i troit Tigers are drawing unusually! well with 871,950 for 41 plain dates i at Navin field. One of the big sur | prises is the drawing power of the , White Sox at home, 583.500 for 43 playing dates. That's probably the most business the White Sox have done since the Black Sox scandal days. The Yankees and White Sox staged the two biggest crowd days. A Sunday double-header at Yankee • stadium June 20 drew 68.939. On , Tuesday Aug. 3 they played to the biggest week day crowd of the ! year. 66,767. The home attendance for each club, with number of playing dates follows: American League Yankee (42) 974,845 Tigers (41) 871.950 White Sox (43) 583,500 Red Sox (40) 572,395 Indians (44) 569,284 Senators (47) 456.500 Athletics (42) 3891,80 Browns (37)) 201,619 J Total 4,619,2831 National League Giants (45) 900,7001 Cubs (42) 695,000 1 Cardinals (47) 526,846 Dodgers (42) 521,057 . Bees (40) 445.730 Pirates (42) 409,082 j Reds (42) 349,379; Phillies (41) 259,428 j Total 4.107,222. Y’esterday was an off-day all a-! round the baseball circuit. The only development was the sale of Ben ' Cantwell, right-hand pitcher, by the Giants to the desperate Dodgers. Cantwell served most of the season with the Jersey City International league club, but was recalled by the Giants two weeks a go. The reopening of competition today finds the eastern and western clubs in each league playing in their own sections for the next 12 days. No more east-west games are sceduled until Aug. 24. Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) | ♦ ♦ New York, Aug. 10—(UP)—To the regret of many, the wrestling war which has been gr«ing on for a year or more has ended. Many of us had hoped It wou’d go on forever or, if not forever, at leaat until there wasn’t a man left on either side. But last week peace was effected when the Suave and sweaty diplo mats who handle wrestling affixed their signatures of ‘X'b’’ to a treaty which future historians will know as the “headlock treaty.” The pact, whose all 14 points read “there shall be no deliberate doublecrossing without full consent of all parties,” was signed in a hall of mirrors.

Dur-1 in the war, life was very unhappy for the grunt, groan and grimace boys. Dirty work was n.'« only afoot t but two and three feet deep. Wrestlers didn’t know when they were going to win or when they were going to lose. Nothing so upset the the delicate mechanism of a wrestler’s mind as uncertainty. It causes him no end of unhappiness. He can’t sleep m -e than 10 hours a day or eat more than three mea’s v hen he is assailed by doubt. Before the treaty wrestlers who didn't like to be tickled during a match were being tickled, and those who were sensitive to being bounc ed on their heads were being bounced. promoters had their worries, tec.. In New York, where there is a curfew law that Iwibids wrestling l bouts lasting more than 11 p. m., schedules became confused.

It has long been rumored that there was a fortune in precious metal hidden somewhere tn the fastnesses of Central America, left there by the followers of Cortez when they were forced to flee from the avenging Aztec hordes.

| tion when he arrived in a town for a match and found his opponent billed as the originator and foremost exponent of the “termite torture | twist.” Both employed the ho’d in ' the match and were rendered helpless, because the “termite torture twist,” like nearly all rjodern wrestling strategies, requires the nearperfect c..operation of the user's opponent. Under the treaty such sad matters will be d one away with. A wrestler's muscle-cbild, so to speak will be his own. to cherish and fool the public with until he retires. Furthermore all wrestlers will be fore|ed to give opponents complete o operation. Champions will breathe easier under the new treaty. And when I say champions, I mean all 50 or 60 of them.
