The Philadelphia Athletics, scraping the bottom of the financial barrel to last out the season, have turned in desperation to the city's mayor for help in bolstering their attendance.

And Mayor Joseph S. Clark, jr, saidioday the problem is simple: If Quaker City residents want the franchise to stay in Philadelphia they've got to get out and see the A's play: Now in their 54th year in Philadelphia, the Athletics have drawn only about 125,000 paid admissions for 34 home games. To break even this year the A's need at least a half million paid attendance. To keep their farm system operating, a minimum attendance of 750000 is necessary. Clark has called for a meeting on July 8 of 75 leading citizens from Philadelphia to form a "mayor's committee to keep the Athletics in Philadelphia."
