Increase
VANCOUVER, B.C. : Wl Bob
Brown, president of the Western
international League, announced
Friday that attendance for the first
half of the season this year show
ed a gain of 24,000 over a compar
able period last year.
The period of April 23 to July 2
this year saw 329,386 fans push
ing through the turnstiles in the
ten league parks. Brown said. Last
year, from April 22 to July 1, 304,
990 was the figure.
Brown said the addition of two
members to the loop, Calgary and
Edmonton, could account for some
of the increase, but he said the
Increase was significant in view
of the poor weather this season.
Edmonton led the loop in paid
attendances during the first half of
me season, with 28,000. Lewlston
was second with 20,000.
The Yanks how lead by S'2

victory of the season against only
three losses at the expense of the
Cardinals. Eddie Mathews hit his
26th home run for Milwaukee.
The Phillies used 13 hits and
four Pittsburgh errors to overcome
their own horrible fielding, giving
Curt Simmons his eighth vlctoy
and his first since late May.
RECORD
Among active National League
pitchers, only Dutch Leonard of
the Cubs has pitched as many
shutouts as Raffensberger. The
Cincinnati lefthander holds one
other National League record that
he'd rather not mention. He's the
lo&ingest pitcher in the league, hav
ing dropped 145 decisions in his 14
seasons.
Feller bested Billy Pierce In the
first game at Chicago although
Pierce had a no-hitter for seven
innings. Luke Easter and Al Rosen
drove in the three Cleveland runs
in the top of the 10th. '.
