New York, July 15.—Business de- pression is blamed for any decrease in attendance at baseball games this year in a formal statement made yester- day by the New York American Base- Vall club, This opinion was made pub- lic in answer to recent charges that haseball attendance has suffered a con- <1derable slump this season due to a variety of causes, among them the lively ball and the great increase in hatting. The club officials, while admitting +hat the attendance “during the last few weeks” has suffered a decrease deny that the falling-off has affected the Yankees. Figures are mentioned to show that the 1921 attendance s nearlp on a level with that of 1920 vhich is called an abnormal year. “In forty games played at home th': vear,” says the statement, “the at tendance was about 40,000 more than with the same teams in the same oumber of games last year. Irrespec- tive of which clubs were opposed tu ihe Yankees, however, the attendance over this stretch decreased by 7,000.” only 0GG LEADS GOLFERS. Bay State Plaver Furnishes Surprise on Shawnee Links.
