National Loop Head Asserts Attendance Up NEW YORK (INS) —The best way to goad Warren Giles, the usually jovial president of the National Lague, into an angry burn is to tell him that baseball attendance is declining. It gets him a darned sight more irrated, even, than the slurring remarks some uncouth players bccaskmally make about his umpires’ antecedents. "Declining from what?" asks Giles, “figures prove the game is more popular than at any time in history with the exception of the lush boom years immediately following World War H.” To use those years as a yard stick is “preposterous,” Giles opines, because B “every facet of our oiational economy ballooned beyond aid reality.” Baseball experienced the boom like every ttiing else. Giles said: “Alarmists are quick to point out, for example, the National League attendance in 1954 was ‘only’ 8,013,519 compared to 10, 388,470 in 1947. What they conveniently neglect to mention, however, is that the National League's 1954 attendance exceeded by 2,566,985 the top attendance of any year piror to World War II.” The league president wryly added that “you never see or hear” the point made that the league’s biggest year at the gate from 1900 o 1945 was in 1930 when attendance was 5,466,532. "Don’t forget,” he said, “the United States saw some real ‘boom years’ during that period.” This year, crowd figures are running ahead of last year despite what Giles calls “the most damaging spring weather I’ve ever experienced,’’ It has been, he sigher, “bad enough to keep people at home hut not bad enough to call off the games." Giles cited last Sunday's Chi-cago-Milwaukee game as a typical example. He said: "It should have been a natural. Stan Hack’s club has been going great, and the Milwaukee pull in Chicago on Sunday should have meant a near capacity turnout. The advance sale indicated an attendance of 40,000, but it rained alWnojning and right up until "The paid attendance, at that. Was 22,796, a wonderful tribute to the Cub ball club and the Chicago fans.” Giles pointed out that attendance in his league actually has Increased in each of the past three years- 6,339,148 in 1952, 7,4119,721 in 53 and 8,013,519 last seasonalthough he did not delve into the figures far enough to pinpoint the specific contributions made by the new Milwaukee franchise. The Braves drew 1.826,397 in *53 and 2,131,338 last year. "At no time in history has interest been higher,” concluded Giles. “I can only regard declin-
