ALWAYS A GOOD PLACE TO GO FOR FEED! \
'T'HERE is always an argument
about the size of some record
crowd—the greatest football crowd
—baseball crowd—boxing crowd, et
cetera. But the record usually is set
every Memorial Day in ' Indian-
apolis.
The 500-mile auto race at the In-
dianapolis speedway is the major
lure in sport, where
the . e s t i m a t ed
crowd runs from
140,000 to 170,000
spectators, which
is no light outpour-
ing of human be-
ings for one day’s
event.
The thrill of the
speedway lure is
the thrill of danger.
The test of skill
Grantland Rice and s t a m i n a is
high enough, but
the thought of what might happen
to the human soul and body at any
given second ha^ the call.
If there had only been space
enough, I still believe that an
Army-Notre Dame football game in
1945 or 1946—especially 1946—would
have broken all records.
Col. Biff Jones of West Point feels
certain that the two teams could
have played to 509,000 people, pos-
sibly more. The appeal for this
game especially was far beyond the
demand for any lieayyweight fight
or world series ball game.
Few off hand, could name the big-
gest crowd that ever saw a base-
ball game. It was a night game in'
Berlin, during the Olympic games
of 1936. I happened to be there. The
attendance was announced at 96,-;
000. It was certainly over 90,000,
which is some 15,000 or 20,000 more
than any ball park in this country
could handle.
It also was one of the worst ball ,
games ever played, looking down to
the lowest zone in a class-X circuit. ■
Biggest Boxing Croivds
The two Tunney-Dempsey fights,
at Philadelphia and Chicago, in 1926
and 1927 lead all fight crowds. The
Philly show in the vast Sesqui Cen-
tennial stadium drew more than
120.000 spectators.
Soldier field in Chicago holds foot-
ball’s record crowd, around 120,000.
The 17,000 reported at Cleveland
last summer for the National Open
was the largest golf crowd I ever
saw on one day, although I under-
stand the All-American golf shows
in Chicago have reached 50,000.
Golf crowds are the gamest of the
bunch. They take the^ major beat-
ings. When any crowd passes 10,000
the spectator might as well retire.
All he can see is 10.000 backs.
We have been trying to do some
figuring on baseball’s attendance
for 1947.
Last season set new major league
records, with something to spare,
as the Yankees alone passed the
2.300.000 mark and most of the
teams beat the 1,000,000 score.
With the two races as close as
they have been, the fading spring
would have given both leagues a
large margin if it hadn’t been for
the most miserable weather one
can recall.
Double-Headers Coming
More'than a few teams have had
many of their big days and nights
either rained, snowed or frozen out.:
This will lead to a record list of.
double-headers later on.
But no one can say how long
many teams, still in the race, willj
be in sight of the leaders after the
middle of July. Once the home
team becomes firmly lodged deep
in the second division, the wild rush
to the turnstiles too often is halted.
The Yankees may still equal or
pass their 1946 record mark by re-
maining in the fight. The Giants,
who drew over a million with a tail-
ender last year, should add at least
500.000 admissions to their 1946
count, and probably pasg the Dodg-
ers with something to spare.
Yankees, Giants, White Sox and
Tigers have the only four ball parks
that can handle over 50,000 and all
four should have close to record
seasons with the teams they have.
The Phillies passed the million
count last year and hope to repeat
with a hustling, scrappy outfit. The
Athletics, with an improved team,
also should be an improvement
over the past, where more than a
few Philadelphia fans have grown
weary and melancholy at peering at
a tailender year after year.' The
Cardinals passed the million mark
for the first time in 1946, but their
groggy start, plus too many rainy
days and nights, may cut this count
down. Especially, if said Cards fail
to win again.

Mize’s Hitting
There seems to be some astonish-
ment in certain parts that a portly
veteran by the name of John Robert
Mize can use a bat so well. The
astonished ones might recall the
fact that the same Mr. Mize, born
in Demorest, Ga., 34 years ago, has
been a solid hitter throughout his
long career.
Standing six-feet-two, \^;ith a dis-
placement around 215 pounds, may-
be more, Mize always has had the
physical bulk needed to get distance.
AID
The men in the air forces dur-
ing the war were given special
training in first aid. They were
made to understand that bleed-
ing must be stopped at once,
particularly from .spurting ater-
ies: Remember that God’s word
tells us that “the blood is the
life.” One dies in a very short
time if blood is allowed to pour
away from a large artery.
If you see an accident victim
you in the camps, in the forests, j
the lakes, the streams. / The;
scouts make the finest kind of!
men. They begin their training!
early. They learn early to be-:
come gentlemen.
Be gentle with accident vie-!
tims so as to spare them all the;
pain possible. Pain will cause;
shock, so will bleeding. No use!
to go rushing at break neck!
speed down the highway with!
your horn screeching. You arej
th
who is bleeding, apply pressure I aPt to cause another accident and j
either at the spot or to the ar-jwi11 probably injure the patient
tery from which the blood is
coming. In some eases, if it is
an arm or leg and von cannot'
apply pressure, then tie a lrand-
anyway.
Carry a flashlight and a blan-
ket in your car. A little instruc-
tion in first aid and a small kit
kerchief around the limb, insert) ^ted with a few articles for(
a stick and twist the improvised
tourniquet tight enough to stop
the bleeding. You must take care
to loosen it now and then to pre-
vent irreparable injury to the
■nerves and tissues.
The' men in the air forces
practically performed miracles
in life saving through their know-
ledge of first aid and their
courage and skill in applying it.
If possible keep the victim in
a recumbent position until the
ambulance or the doctor arrives.
Spread your coats (if you have
no blankets) over and under him
to keep him warm and to aid in
preventing shock. Guard against
hasty or rough handling.
Sometimes it is necessary tc
burning car.. Be as gentle as pos-!
burning ear. Be a gentle as pos-i
sible. Get help if any is to be
had. Rough handling may seal
his doom.
Boy Scouts have been known
to stand off the crowd who were I
excited and determined to grab
the injured and r&ce off with
them to the nearest hospital.
One Mississippi Boy Scout, when
only half conscious, refused to
allow a man 4o do this to him be-
cause he knew that lie would
fare better if he waited for the
ambulance which arrived after
a short wait, His compound frac-
ture of the leg was attended to
by a skillful surgeon and the boy
recovered.
Boys, you had better join in
use m case of an accident, may
save lives. Never forget—STOP
BLEEDING AND DON’T MOVE
THE VICTIM.
