AMERICAN ASSN SET BIGRECORD Season Figure Will Probably Shatter Former High Marks TOLEDO CROWDS SURPRISE Chicago, July 28.—All_ attendance i ry of the Ameri- can association are in danger of be- ing shattered this season—the most prosperous in the nineteen years of the organization. President, Hickey announced today that if the clubs continue to draw as well during the last half of the sea- son ap they did for the first three and a half months, the total attend- ance for the sedson will likely reach 1,500,000 as compared with a total at- + tendance of 1,000,000° for the entire season of a year ago. Toledo a Surprise When the. clubs reached the half way mark in the season, the total at- tendance was considerably more than’ 800,000. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the drawing powers of the Toledo club, which, for the'first time in’Years, is a pennant contender. The ‘attend- ance at Toledo is 100. per’ cent above the showing a year ago. Minneapolis and St. Paulk-also are ;drawing record breaking crow The attendance at St. Paul for the first half of the sea- son was greater than the attendance for the entire 1919) season. Although the St: Paul club’ is ‘thak- ing a run away race in the scramble for the pennant, the remaining clubs, with the exception of Kansas City, are engaged in a tight contest, with indi- cations favoring a'spiritéd fight up. to the finish for second and third places. Past Season Games There is a_ possibility, President Hickey said, that the pennant win- ning team will meet the championship club of the Pacific Coast league’ in another post season series this season.. The American Association executive has been in correspondence with Pres- ident McCarthy, of the ‘coast leaguers over the proposed. Final action de- pends upon the decision of John W. Norton, president of ‘thé St. Pail} club, which, at the present, seems ap- parently eértain’ of carrying off, the 1920 pennent, -—~ “There is' a great™future ahead of the two leagues in_playing, this fall series annually,” ‘President Hickey said. “The ideal weather conditions | on the cOdst’ are very favorable, and | judging from the’attendance for the first series, the games can be regard- ed as second, in importance te the! | world’s series. “Personally I am in. favor, of the coast league series and I Hope the, games. can, he. | CAPITOL CLUB , try club August 4 and 5, with present 1 Rete ” PLAYS MORFIT , HERE SUNDAY Local Fans ‘Will See Statehouse Aggregation in Action for the First Time Though the Bismarck Athletic club!’ team will play in Wilton next ‘Sun- day, \local fans will’ hayé. the’ op- portunity of witnessing & fast game of ball at capital ball: park here:.
