Brooklyn Dodger home attend
ance was over the one-million
mark for the season today, mak
ing Leo Durocher the highest
paid manager in the business.
The Dodgers, who are likely
to top every club in both leagues
in attendance despite the fact
that they are practically out of
the pennant race, drew a crowd
of 18,679 for a single game with
the Giants yesterday. That
brought the home paid attend
ance to 1,000.066 and a $10,000
bonus for Durocher.
Durocher, given a pay cut to
$20,000 last spring, was told by
Branch Rickey, that he would
get $5,000 for each 100.000 in

500,000 mark was reached and
$10,000 when the million mark

BASEBALL CLASSIC
New York. Aug. 27 (U.PJ
There was more than a remote
possibility today that "Meet me
in St. Louis'' will be the theme
song for the 1945 World Series.
For their forlorn fans who
have given up early season high
hopes that the Cardinals and
Browns would meet In another
one-park classic it is well to con
sider the following:
1. Currently they are the hot
test clubs in their leagues. The
Cards, riding a six game victory
streak, the last three over the
leading Cubs, have won 18 out
of 24 games. The Browns, cli
maxing a four game streak with
Sunday double header victory
over the White Sox, have won
18 out of 23.
2. Pitching, key department In
a stretch drive, Is brilliant on
both teams. The Cards have held
the leading National league bat
ters, the Cubs, to two runs in
three games. Rookie Ken Burk
hardt, a 15-game winner, com
pleted a string of 34 scoreless
innings before the Cubs finally
ended It. Ted Wilks and Sylves
ter Donnelly of the Cards have
recovered from arm ailments
and will be ready to pitch when
the team returns home. For the
Browns, Al Holllngsworth, strict
ly a liability last season, and
Nelson Potter, a disappointment
this year until recent weeks,
each have won five straight
games.
3. Both have reputation! for
gameness in the stretch. In five
out of eight years the Cards have
won the pennant they have done
it late in the season. The Browns
put on a fine stretch drive last
summer to beat the Tigers, win
ning their only pennant on the
last day.
