A four-game series with the world champion Cincinnati Reds on the worst sports days in the week Monday through Thursday brought out a total of 74,073 and two games with the St. Louis Cardinals the middle of this week produced 44,205 paid admissions. None of these figures include ladies' day. boys' day or other guests. Yesterday 10.621 women were admitted for payment of 10 cents tax.

However, at least half of these fans moved over the higher priced aeata by payment of "an additional 36, 65 or 85 cents, depending on their location and the-Dodgers actually benefitted almost as much from this method of admittance as if the women were counted as paying customera. In the big leagues the visiting club rerelves a little less than 25 cenU for each paid admission, but the home club keeps all receipts from ticket exchanges by ladies day guests. The Brooklyn club also places a service charge of 40 cents on all passes. Thus it may be seen that President Larry McPhail, top showman in baseball has managed to play both ends against the middle. His 1939 DodRers set a Brooklyn season's attendance record of 1.007,000 paid admissions.

Last year the season's total fell slightly under a million, but it looks like the club has another record in its grasp this year. The Dodgers also have been a gTeat road attraction and a recent Sunday game with the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds set a National League record for a crowd at a single game. 56.314.

The action nullified a long-standing edict which had ruled Mikel off the turf for life 01 charges of racing a three-year-old in an event for two-year-olds at Lincoln Fields in 1935. The case became one of the most celebrated controversies in racing history. Mikel contended he raced the horse in good faith under the belief that he actually was a two-year-old.

There was a long succession of court action. Twice the commission was ordered to issue a license, hut legal delays prolonged the battle.
