Gate Record In View By JACK CL'DDV Vnited Press Kports Writer MEW YORK (UPl For the first time in American League history, at least six of its teams will no past the million mark in attend' ance this tiea&on and there is an outside chance thai seven cluU:, could hit that figure. That sUimpedc for first place has given the gate Its higgest faliot fiince the mad scramble ot lutu, when Cleveland and Boston had to play a pennant playolf game and the New York Yankees were not eliminated until the next to the last dny of the season; In '48, the Junior circuit set an all-time major league attendance Jngh with a total of 11,150.0118 pay- nig customers. However, only lour clubs went past the million mark that season because most ol the crowds were centered in Cleveland New York, Boston and Detroit. Tills year the situation is vastly different, Five clubs still are very much in the race, although De trolt's chances have lessened con siderably in the past few days. All of these, the Yankees, Indians, White Sox, Red Sox and Tigers, Will go past the million mark, bar ling unforeseen complications. In fact, the Yankees already have hit the million mark for the 10th consecutive year since World War II with a league high total ' of 1,104,150 to date through games j of Aug. 16, The amazing A's from I Kansas City, with 1,089.073 to date, probably will stay in the runner up spot in attendance even though they axe an also-ran sixth in the standings. EIGHT-MILLION Earl Hilllgan of tiie American League Service Bureau In Chicago, who supplied the attendance ftg uraa, said there was a good chance lor the American League to go well past the eight-million mark In attendance for the season, but that of course there was no chance of equalling that all-time 1948 mark when the Indians packed in 0.630,037 and the Yankees 2,373, (01. However, HiUlgan had the Cheery pews that the American League, has had an increase ot , tlB.OOO paying; customers to date for a percentage Increase of Sli pej cent over last year. There have been e, 087890 lana nt 463 games, A look at 1h other attendance 1 tntols witti the number of games . left to play. Knows the strong prnb- , ability of six clubs with million I gate gjxj aIJ outside chance for , eaitimoi. the seventh. f The BMt olub to join New York (ana mnma vtiy at Uie million level should be Boston, and It MnnhJda will r-i.c u. inree-jKUne aeries' With the Yank ees. Before thafa series opened Boston had 915.018 attendance and with three 00,000 plus sellouts would easily go over, OPENINGS Detroit with J9 more openings Including two doublchcndcrs, is next frt 874,909 end needs only a little more than 6.500 fans per tame to surpass a million. They've been getting three times that many tarn, Cleveland, In a betU-r spot fn the pennant struggle, has 796,2l);i Inns to date ami with 18 more home openings Including three double headers, heeds nn average of only 11, 500 fans per opening. The Indians could get as many as 80,000 for some of their crucial Karnes with the Yankees, White Sox and Red Sox. Chicago, with 192,523 to dntc, needs only an aver age ot 11,600 per opening and with 18 to go Including four double headers, likewise is a clnch, Baltimore with 14 more open ings including lour double headers, has a total of 701,381 and needs several 40,000 plus crowds to help out since they must have to aver age belter than 31,001). Tt could happen, because enthusiasm picked up with Oriole fans when Hie Birds had a recent hot streak. It Is only hopeless in Washing. ion, where the Nuts to dale have drawn only 313,085, Willi 18 open ings to go including three double headers, they would have to draw more than 38.000 per game. Since the park holds only around au.ouo. that Isn't likely. They haven't had standing room only crowds in tin nation's capital since the Cnolidgp administration. Or since Bucky Harris was boy manager in 1P34.

MARTIN-SEfiOUR $ PAINTS GOELLER'S Time trials for the Vriday eve ning program are scheduled for 7 o'clock with the. first lace of the show slated to gel underway at 8 o'clock. Club president Benny Morrison and other ollicers have planned tins week's program as the "big one" of the year as far as the tans are concerned. By a ticket drawing, one of the women in attendance at the speed way races this weeic will have a chance to become 81.000 richer, and for nothing more than carrying it away. The Klamath Racing Association will plnce $1,000 on a stand or table and all the lucky hardtop follower has to do Is to put It In a sack and carry it away. "There a''e a few minor rules, but no tricks." Morrison stated. The person must place the money In a container within a certain amount ot Hire, then walk in a direct line back to the ptands with out dropping the bag ot money or losing; her balance. This has been tried in other parts of the country and the lucky ticket holder usually has extra spending money follow ing the scheduled program. Besides a lucky person getting a crack nt the $1,000, the regular racing program will be held. Four heal races, the A and B trophy dashes, the final heat, the 15 lap B-ir.ain and the 25 lap A-maln. If time allows an extra event of some sort will be held. Lasl week the local hardtop fans were treated to several entries from the Medford track including Jack McCoy who won the A-maln. McCoy has just returned from the enstern racing circuits and brought with him several secrets that blend well with his speedy hard ton. It Is still unknown If McCoy and his fellow valley drivers will return this week, but they are ex pected to enter into the local speed way running before the season is over. The admission prices for Friday night's "carry-a-way" program are the regular SI for adults ana so cents for students.
