Sept. 23 ( - The ' Milwaukee Braves added another chapter to their turnstile success story today, eclipsing the two million attendance figure for the third straight year. Only the New York Yankees in the American League with five consecutive two-million draws have done better at the gate in the his tory of baseball. ' Today's attendance for the Cubs Braves game of 47,014 second largest stadium crowd on record shot the club's 1956 paid attend ance total to 2.046.331 on the Braves' final home game of the regular season. In the three previous years the Braves have been in Milwaukee they drew 1,826.397 in 1953, an all time National League record of 2.131.388 in 1954, and 2,005,836 in 1955. Attendance Amazing Considering the capacity of Coun ty Stadium, home of the Braves, is 43,117. and the fact that the club was plagued by a string of early season rainouts the attend ance figures tell an amazing story. By comparison. Yankee Stadium has a capacity of about 70.000 and Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, where the Indians went over two- million 'in 1948 and 1954, holds 73,811.
