Phone 2-2563 Major League Ticket Sales Indicate Attendance Boom In All Large Cities By JACK HAND I The Associated Press Advance ticket sales indicate a baseball attendance boom in most big league cities. Los Angeles, New York, Milwaukee and San Francisco are showing the way. The Dodgers with their 100,000 seat Coliseum in Los Angeles ex pect to start smashing records opening day and hope to keep it up the rest of the year. All sorts of estimates have been made about the Dodgers' advance sale but Harold, P a r r o 1 1, the club's business manager, will say only that the figure is past the $1,250,000 mark and is almost tvice what it was at this date in Brooklyn last year. ' The Giants also are attracting plenty of attention in their new Former Beaver Aide Takes Responsibility AMES, Iowa I UP I George Clayton Stapleton has taken on quite a few added responsibilities since last football season. Stapleton, 36, was the first as sistant football coach at Oregon State University under Head Coach Tommy Prothro. He was married and enjoying the pleas ant "college-town" atmosphere at Corvallis, Ore. Now, he is the head football coach at Iowa State College and he and Ldith, his wife of la years have their first child, an adopted youngster. Word of the new job and of the final approval of the adoption came within days of each other. As if that weren't enough, Sta pleton took over the head football coaching reins here from an old friend" who left a sour taste in the mouths of Iowa State College students and faculty when he left, SUDDEN CHANGE Jim Myers, who played football with Stapleton at the University of Tennessee, had completed only one year as head football coach when he abruptly pulled up stakes Brown Victor In Taut Cuba HAVANA W-Joe Brown, world lightweight champion from New Orleans, considered a possible title defense against nimble Ralph Dupas today after his "easiest fight," a first-round non title knockout of Cuba s Orlando Eche- varria. In an atmosphere packed with political tension and after spend ing 72 hours under s protective guard from Cuban rebels. Brown calmly fired two crushing rights that disposed of the Cuban cham pion in 2 minutes 50 seconds last night. There were no incidents al though fears of rebel sabotage new the crowd to an estimated 12.000 some 6,000 under seating capacity. "I'm happy about two things." me unmarked 32-year-old Brown said. "First, of course, the quick victory over Eehcvarria. Second, being free of the corps of police bodyguards who insisted on shad owing me." "No, I haven't signed for any thing," he added in answer to a report that arrangements were set for a title bout with Dupas. "But there is the possibility. We'll see about that when I get back to New Orleans." The U.S. National Boxing Assn. has warned Brown that unless he meets challenger Kenny Lane in a title bout by April 11, his title may be vacated. But a bout with Dupas, No. 4 contender from New Orleans, might satisfy Uie re quirement. The two smashing rights were the only requirements tlie cham pion Had to meet last night. The first spilled Echevarria on his haunches for a mandatory eight count. Instead of trying to last out the round, the Cuban came back with a free-swinging attack and ran into the payoff right that dropped him on his back for the full count. Echevarria weighed ' 136't to Brown's 13534. Welterweight boxer Larry Baker of New York keeps in shape by running six miles a day in Van Van Courtlandt Park.

TU 4-6476 home in San Francisco. Pete Hoff man, the ticket manager, says approximately $925,000 is in the till, almost a 100 per cent increase over last year's sale at this time Ul .tew IUIK. With no more opposition from the Giants and Dodgers, the Yan kees are reaping a rich harvest in New York. A month ago, club officials said the advance had reached Vi million dollars. The club record of $1,700,000 probably has fallen already and the final tally on opening day may be close to two million dollars. .Milwaukee, as usual,' expects to close out all its 12,000 season tickets long before the opener. The Milwaukee Braves, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are the only clubs to increase prices. The increases ranged from 10 to 25 to take over as head football coach and athletic director at Texas A&M. While negotiating with Aggie of ficials, Myers repeatedly told Iowa State faculty and athletic leaders he was going to stay here. Taking over such a position at the same time he finally began a family was quite an assignment for the stocky Stapleton, who never had been a head coach in his 10 years -of college coaching experience. However, Stapleton apparently brought to the job the same tough outlook toward his new pos ition as Myers had when he came here in 1957 from an assist ant's post at UCLA. That attitude helped Myers turn a hapless team which finished the 1956 sea son with a dismal 2-8 record, in to a tough team which tied Syra cuse and scored against Okla homa last season. OUTLOOK SUMMED UP Stapleton summed up his out look on football by saying, "Our personalities are different but Jim's ideas on football are a lot like mine." "We both believe in small foot ball squads made up of real players rather than big squads of bodies. It isn't the third and fourth teams that win the ball games." he said. Stapleton also planned to con tinue the single-wing attack which Myers brought to Iowa State last year.
