In its first three fames at home, the Orioles have played before 75,966. Milwaukee drew 79,142 in Its first three dates last year. Baltimore officials publicly declared they were out to beat record of 1,826,397 for the season of 1953. They had a couple of advantages.

Transfer of the Braves from Boston to Milwaukee came shortly before last season started and there time for a long selling campaign. Baltimore had from last September to put on the pressure. Empty Seats At Opener The Milwaukee stadium last year seated only 36,011 while had a capacity of 48,399, Despite all the fever building up for months, there were 2,000 empty seats at the first Oriole game last Thursday. Bad weather was blamed Saturday for keeping attendance down to 9,955. But the Oriole officials were openly disappointed at Sunday's turnout of 20,057 on a sunny day with temperature around 75.

Thev had anticipated at least 30,000. Even the advantage of novelty helped Baltimore keep step with Milwaukee so far this season. Milwaukee in its first three home appearances has averaged 29,389 to 25,455. Braves May Top 2,000,000 Milwaukee is in better position this year than last to go over the two million mark for the season. Its stadium capacity has been increased to 43,505, Baltimore's is likely to drop to 44,899.

Players have complained about the lack of dark background in center field. Bleachers are out there now and directly acro.ss the street is a row of white houses which batters complain make it hard to see pitched balls. Art Ehlers, the Oriole general manager, said he will investigate the possibility of removing the 3,500 bleacher seats and putting up a board fence painted dark green. The fence now is wire with scattered small trees in the background. Tijfer Prexy Lauds Setup At least one opposing American League owner was satisfied with Baltimore's attendance to date.

go home said Walter Briggs president of the Detroit Tigers who played the Orioles Saturday and Sunday. He undoubtedly was contrasting the turnout with last year at St, Louis. The Browns had only 297,238 paying customers all season. Baltimore has drawn one-fourth as many in the first three games since succeeding them, do all right Briggs soothed record-conscious Baltimore.

BY HAROLD (PIE) TRAYNOR (Written for AP Newsfeatures) A third biiseman must be quick on his feel and a strong arm.

He must have cat in him he is the closest infielder to the batter. He must be ready for bunts al all times. A good tip would be to watch Billy Cox of Brooklyn next time he plays third base. I have seen him make some of the greatest plays any third baseman ever made. He has the natural ability and uses ii by being ready for any situation.

Cox is the best glove man in baseball today. He could be a great shortstop of a great second baseman. He has the hands and the reflexes, A third baseman should play with Kls hands on his knees and be balanced. Easy Way To Shift On a ball hit between him and the shortstop he must bring his right leg across his left foot. the opposite way on going to his right; bring the left foot over the right foot.

Try it sometime and see how- easy it IS to save a step. The third baseman should get to learn the opposing hitters. For instance, play deep and closer to the foul line when there's a pull hitter up. If he's a good hitter of tlie Ralph Kiner type he's less likely to bunt. With most lefthanded hitters the third baseman can stray farther from the bag.

However, this is not true of the scatter hitters, fellows like Stan Musial, Gene W'oodling and Dale Mitchell who can hit to all fields. Woodling and Mitchell often swing late and hit to the left side of the diamond. Yogi Bera, when he has two strikes How Bunt Causes Confusion Pie version of how important a bunt play can be: Position at third base is everything. A bunt to third base decides many bail games. Such a bunt almost cost the Yankees the 1952 Series.

The Dodgers had a fine hitter at bat in Roy Campanella. Charley Dressen thought cross up the Yankees with a bunt. He did. Duke Snider had singled on Ed Lopat's second pitch in the fourth inning of the seventh and deciding game in Ebbets Field. Snider moved to second when Jack Robinson beat out a bunt toward the mound.

Then, with men on first and second base, Lopat got together with his third baseman, Gil McDougald. Mac, as 1 get it, was supposed to take the bunt, if Campanella bunted. On the next pitch, Campanella bunted halfway between third and home. It was such a beautiful bunt that it left doubt in McDougald's mind as to whether he should get the ball or let Lopat get it. Mac never broke for the ball and Lopat, who thought Mac would take the play, was left handcuffed on the mound.

Stengel then took Lopat out of the game without a run being scored. Luckily, for the Yankees, Allie Reynolds came in and got the side out with the loss, of only one run. That run scored on an outfield fly. It could have been a big inning for the Dodgers all because of bunt. that play.

another situation simple to handle; With men on first and second on a ball hit to the third baseman playing close to the bag, all the filder has to do is touch the bag for a force out. Then the next play would be first base since the batter is easier to double than the man going to second. The same applies when the third baseman catches a line drive with men on first and second and less than two out. Throw to first base for the double play. The man on first is easier to get because he has a bigger lead.

The Phils drove Don Newcombe to cover in the third inning when thev took a 4-1 lead but the Dodgers' 18-hit attack was too much for the ineffective Philadel phia pitching. Successive homers by Stan Musiil and Ray Jablonski in the sixth inning helped Harvey Haddix win his first game for St. Louis. Haddix already has lost twice and he was lifted in the ninth inning nighi when Cincinnati threatened. But Stti Miller and Al Brazle subdued the Reds.

This 1932 picture shows Pie wearing a mourning band following the death of Pirate President Barney Drey fuss. on him, often hits to the left side. All he's trying to do with a two- strike situation is meet the ball.

Get In Front Of Ball A third baseman should get in front of hard hit balls. If you can't field a hard hit ball cleanly at least you can block it from going into left field and possibly becoming a two- base hit. These days a two-base hit is the bane of many pitchers. Tliey worry about that man in scoring position. Always try to get the front runner.

When the tying or winning run on third base and less than two out you must throw the ball to the plate instead of trying to make the double play. Always try at any cost to keep the opposition from scoring the tying or winning run. Here are a few situations that a good third baseman must learn to combat; With men on first and second and none out and a bunt in order, the third baseman should play in three steps and close to the line. The reason: If a ball is bunted on the line he can run straight in for the ball. If the ball is bunted so the pitcher can field it, the third baseman has to go back only three steps to take the pitcher's throw for the force out.

If the bunter misses the ball and the runners are going, as they should the third baseman is close enough to the bag to take the throw and thereby prevent a double steal. If the ball bunted between the pitcher and the third baseman the latter is in a direct line for a play at first base. Play Pie Originated not meaning to be boastful but a play that I originated years ago with the Pittsburgh Pirates. When the ball was hit to me at third base and with a runner on third I would fire the ball into the plate to get the man going home with one oui or less.
