TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1921. World Results By Leased Wire — THE BILL CLUB OWNERS ARE WORIED GATE RECEIPTS SHOW A BIG SLUMP By HENRY L. FARRELL. | United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 26.—Club owners are beginning to get concerned oyer the league ball yards. decrease in attendance at the major The 1$21 season got away well and until the first of June the crowds equalled ihe record-breaking attendance of 1920. Then the slump came. The Polo Grounds where the two New York clubs make their.home, has been giving un:nistekable evidence that interest’ in the national pastime is falling off. Crowds of less now sit in on the daily games where 10,000 were only fair last year.| This, too, despite th- fact that both the Giants and the Yanks are up in the race. Some of the wise followers of the game blame the slump on the “lively ball," which is makng the games much longer and less interesting. It is a fact that where games last year used to be“played in an hour and a/ half to two hours, nine innings now run much longer and the spectators | begin to file out to the subway and the elevated around the seventh in- ning. Others maintain that baseball was lucky to be so late in getting a wal- lop by a general business slump. It seems more reasonable to believe that the fans ure staying away from the parks because they have other places for a dollar, The tight financial con- dition of. the country is shown in the bleachers. During times of prosperity the bleachers are almost deserted on the Polo grounds but it has been no- ticeable lately that the seats out in the sun are more popular than the higher priced seats in the grand- stand. Baseball and the theatrical world have a lot in common in New York. The same element that fills the thea- ters swells the crowds at the baseball games. There is a lot of significance in the fact that the gay white way in the “Forties” is having the same slump as\ the Polo grounds. “The Follies” is the only show on Broadway doing good business. Other shows are playing to halff-houses every night. Tickets are available for every show in New York but the famous “Folly” show at a cut-rafe ticket agency, where the managers dispose of tickets below the box office. price. It means nothing that Tex Rickard gets $1,600,000 from 90,009 spectators who saw the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. Such a sport spectacle will draw a crowd any time in any place near such a nest of population, t is not generally known, however, | , that. Rickard, seeing tae slump in baseball and around the theaters, was a rather worried person just previous to the ficht. His tickets weren't going and as late as 11 o'clock on the morn- ing of the fight he wasn't sure that he was going to have enough fans in the big stadium to give him even a slight return for all his time and trouble.

Pep Moore, Greybull’s catcher, went to the assistance of the um- pire and the result was that Downey was banished from the park and Roy Johnson was fired. This may mean an indefinite suspension for Johnson. The feud between he and Umpire Dale is said to be one of long stand. ing, starting in Denver and trailing around the circult wherever Dale of- ficiated. Despite the absence of Dow- ney, Denver came across and won the second game Sunday by a score of three to tw KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO ORGANIZE SPORTS NEW YORK, July 26.—Plans for organization of a Knights of Colum- bus national amateur sports associa- tion were announced today by Wil- Mam J.

In the closing games of the Chicago Brooklyn series at Brooklyn recently, which Chicago captured, 3 to 1, in 13 innings, Sher- rod Smith “nicked” the ball cover with his thumb nail, Martin de- clared. Saveral other ba’ls were similarly marred and were thrown out of the game by Umpire Klem, Martin declared, but no action was 4aken against the pitchers.
