Major League Teams Set Crowd Records New York. July 17.—(UP! The most astounding baseball patronage or all time made It a virtual certainty today that more than hair of lh<» Ifi major -league teams will net new attendance record* tor a single campaign. long before the 1940; season Is ended. The New York Yankees, who already have passed every exiting American league mark for a sin gle season. will eet a new major league attendance figure today when they meet the St. I.iuls Browns In a double header. The Yankevw, with 1.490.775 paid admissions to dale, will pass the all-time major league high of 1.4X5.100 set by the Chicago Culm of 1929. And with 29 more home games to play, there is a reason-1 able expectancy that the Yankees will play to more than 2.375.0001 fait* for the setwon uiilcm there Is a sharp drop In crowds from here out. The tremendous upsurge in crows is genera) with even the hopelessly outclassed second division clubs sharing the incre.-eed revenue according to a United Press attendance survey. To date, the eight American League teams have played to 5.633,453 fan.i and within another week should go beyond the final 1945 league totals of 5.965.900. The same story holds for the National League clubs which have drawn 4.959,342 paying far.t to date, c >mpared with 5.259,339 for the entire 1945 campaign. Four clubs, the Yankees and Boston. Red Sox In the American la-ague and the surprsdng Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Braves in the National la-ague, have topped their all-time previous high attendance totals with better than a third of the sea,ion to go. Basing the final estimated 1946 attendance on the average site of crowd.! in each park to dale, all but three National la-ague teams, the Chli-ago Culm, the Philadelphia Athletieu. Cleveland 'lndians, and Si. I anils Browns seem destined to set new high totals for a single year. ,
