But the record usually is set every Memorial Day in Indian-apolis. The 500-mil- e auto race at the In-dianapolis speedway is the major lure In sport, whore 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 GrantlandKice nd t a m 1 n a i. hl(h enough, but the thought of what might happen to the human soul and body at any given second has the call. If there had only been space enough, I still believe that an Army-Notr- e Dame football game in 1945 or 194G especially IMf would have broken all records. Col. Riff Jones of West Point feels certain that the two teams 0014 have played to 500,000 people, pos-sibly more. The appeal for this game especially was far beyond the demand for any heavyweight fight or world series hall 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,-00- 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-- circuit. liipjipst Boxing Crou ds The two Tunney-Dempsc- y 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 190,000 spectators. Soldier field in Chicago holds foo-tball'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 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. Don blc-Headc-rs Com inn 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-header- s later on. But no one can say how long many teams, still in the race, will 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 toe often is halted. The Yankees may still equal or pass their 1946 record mark by re- - maining in tin. fight. The Giants, who drew over a million with a tail-end- er last year, should add at least 500,000 admissions to their 1948 count, and probably pass 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. Mixes Hitting There seems to be some astonish-ment in certain parts that a portly veteran by the name of John Robert ICiza 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 with a dis-placement around 215 pounds, may-be more, Mize always has had the physical bulk needed to get distance, j WRx "They went out to get the car over a half hour UA T ago.

Thus, as those cars could not be operated from either end like Inter models, they were equipped with a device that enabled the driver, at the end of the line, to raise the body a few inches above the wheels and turn it in the op-posite direction. llUTT AND JEFF By Bud Fisher It?)
