Si. Louis Browns President Believes
Fans Will Take The Lights Anytime
By Frank Eck
NEW YORK If Richard C.
Muckerman had his way every
week day game the St. Louis
Browns play in Sportsman's Park
would be under floodlights.
, "St. Lpiu ,is a,JUght .baseball
city, safyrf the StfTlms' Iceman
who is president of the Browns.
"We'll draw 1,200 for a certain
day game and the same game
would draw about 7,000 at night.
It just doesn't make sense, this
habit of some clubs shying away
from night games.
"the only reason to be in this
business is to make money and
furnish recreation for the players
and fans. It's up to the visiting
teams in the American League if
they want to leave St. Louis with
a red check for day baseball or a
black check for night ball. (Visit
ing teams average about 28 cents
on each admission.)
"The Yankees and Tigers
have been very uncooperative
as far as our night game sched
ule is concerned."
The New York and Detroit
teams play only three night
games each in the Brown's home
park this season. When a home
club seeks to schedule morn thnn
two night games it must get per
mission irom we visitina team
The Yanks and the Tieera hv
permitted the Browns to add only
one extra floodlight game.
The Browns have 39 nocturnal
games three more than their
tenants, the Cardinals listed for
home this season. That's seven
more than last year and two more
than in 1946. ,The Washington
Senators and the Philadelphia
Athletics have been very coopera
tive as far as Muckerman is con
cerned. They play nine and eight
arc light games in the Brownie
park.
American League attendance
records bear out Muckerman't
bi( beef. For 32 night games
last - year the Browns "drew
.148,449 fang or an average
night crowd of 4,504.. "And that
was with a bad last place club,"
points out Traveling Secretary
Charles W. DeWltt. In 1946 the
average .crowd for 37 night
game was 7,500 fans.
The St. Louis club is thi nnlv
American League team that h
not cashed in on free-snendinir
postwar crowds. Their all-time
home attendance record of 712 -
918 goes back to 1922 when the
team finished second to the Yank
ees in the pennant race. Seven
ciudi in the circuit set new all-
time crowd marks either in 1946
or i47. But not the Browns.
t . .. . .,
Muckerman realizes h a mM
about $500,000 worth of talent
since last season but after all his
1947 club won only 59 fames aut
of 154. He couldn't verv well so
along with the sanw personnel.
The Brownie president ia in
as good at a position as anyone
in baseball when it comes to
money. He has many husUessJ
Interests and they range from
making ice. Ice cream and beer.
"It's the lack of some teams
I scheduling more night games
with us that bolhcrs me," says
Muckerman. "St. Louis people
work in the daytime. Even I
don't find time to get to many
day games; I'm too busy. And if
any of my employes go to the
ball game in the daytime I'll fire
them."
i .
Leo Durocher, Brooklyn's im
petuous manager, has gone on
record as saying "I need Eddie
Stanky about as badly as Ineed
a third eye." That's about how
much Muckerman needs money.
Muckerman, now 52, broke in'to
baseball in 1908 when he was 12
years old.
"My first job was as mascot for
the Christian Brothers ball club,"
says Muckerman. "I still recall
our first road trip to St. Charles,
Mo. It was a big thrill traveling
18 miles from home.
"But my biggest thrill came
in 1915 as shortstop for the
Western Military Academy team
at Alton, III. We played Prim I
pia Christian Science School at
old Robinson Park in St. Louis.
There I was playing in a big
league ball park at the age of
19."
They tore Robinson Park down
in 1920 but today Muckerman is
the head of an organization with
about 600 players under contract
and its own ballpark. -

for a triple, but it would have been
an easy homer had he not mis
interpreted the signals of George
Stillway, coaching at third. Catch
er Joe Lashley then trapped Smith

plate, and he made it before third

rum Marketing Receipts
Show First Quarter Drop
COLLEGE STATION. Rmetgh
Figures recently released by the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
show that cash receipts from farm
marketings for the first quarter
of 1948 were nearly 21 million
dollars below the same period last
year, according to C. Brice Ratch
ford, in charge of farm manage
ment at State college.
Income from livestock and live
stock products was about one rail
lion dollars higher, but income
from crops was about 22 million
dollars lower, Mr. Ratchford said.
"The hiajor portion of the North
Carolina farm income." the spe
cialist commented, "is obtained in
the fall when tobacco, cotton, and
peannts are sold. The smaller in
come during the spring should
serve as a warning for farmers to
keep production costs as low as
possible during the summer."
Mr. Ratchford said some of Ihe
best ways to cut expenses for the
rest of the year as follows:
Make efficient use of labor and
cut cash labor costs wherever pos
sible.
Take care of machinery and cut
machinery repair bills and fuel
costs.
Cure tobacco as cheaply as pos
sible. I'se grazing to cut feed costs.
Cut family living expenses with
a good garden.
Be safe and save doctors' bills.
