Tribe's Owners Urged To Try Atlanta Cure

SOMETHING happened in Atlanta recently that acted like a wonder drug on dwindling $aseball attendance . . This almost surefire cureall has been around all the time but many club owners and general managers choose to moan over decreasing gate receipts instead of reading up on the game's history. This oldfime remedy for recapturing fan interest in ’ the home club is a simple one, too, if taken in time. Sporting News; the baseball weekly, put the Atlanta

the premature death of the national pastime in the minor leagties , . . While the Atlanta Crackers stalled in the Southern Association's second division, President Earl Mann, upset by an attendance dip of approximately 35,000, set out tg find the cause with a “What's. Wrong With Cracker Attendance?” contest... There were more than 2200- “entries.” But, coincidentally with the announcement .of the final results, the Crackers themselves furnished their

ing out 23,769 cash customers. The Cleveland club, owners of the Indianapolis In- . dians, might do well to try the Atlanta remedy on its Triple-A papooses before the “little” Indians return to WL 16th St. next Saturday.

| HELSINKI, July 26—Burly Bob Mathias, the colossus of California, smashed his own

world record ‘in winning the {Olympic decathlon tonight for the {second straight time, giving the United States its 13th track gold medal—more than it has ever worn in the Olympic Games. The U. 8. also clinched the Olympic track "and field championship when Milt. Campbell, 17-year-old from Plainfield, N. J., {took second“and Floyd Simmons of Los Angeles third for a 1-2-3 sweep. That gave the U. 8. 210 points to 118 for Russia with only 87 points possible for any nation | tomorrow.

Again today he and the 28 other fuls' were herded from ot to running track and back in the high hurdles, the discus, the pole vault, the javelin and finally the 1500. He did the 110-meter hurdles in 14.7 seconds today, the discus with 153 feet 10.20 inches, the pole vault in 13 feet 1.68 inches, the javelin with 194 feet 3.60 inches and then the 1500 in 4. minutes 50.8 seconds. # » # y YESTERDAY he was 10.9 sec onds in the 100, 22 feet 10.8 inches in the broad jump, 50 feet 2.28 {inches in the shot, 6 feet 1.82 {inches in the high jump and 50.2 seconds in the 400.
