InTTiis Corner

For the past couple of years at- tendances at big league ball games have been taking a nose- dive. Three of the club presidents solved the problem handily by packing the few shirts they had left and moving to a new location.

But the solution will not be so simple for the other thirteen teams. 0 O 0 When the Brooklyn Dodgersi

were on the threshold of setting a new league record for con- secutive wins at the beginning of the season. only the invasion of the hated Giants could induce more than a handful of the Flatbush faithful out of their comfortable chairs in front of their T.V. screens and into Ebl-lets field. '. 0 O

it was so bad. in fact. that welll foilnded rumors were rampant that the Dodgers were due IIT a change in scenery also. There can be little doubt that president 0'- Mallcy at least toyed fleetingly with the idea, as he clutched a thinning wallet and thought wist- fully of Milwaukee's pre-season ticket sales. I

. a . . 0'Malley's chargrin can be bel- ier appreciated when one consid- ers that at the beginning of the season he obligingly sanctioned the televising of all Dodlzcr ai-:'v games for the benefit of Dodger fanatics. believing. with some justification. that the recipicil this favor would return same by attending home games in droves. Such was hardly the case. Mr. O'- Malley's noble idea backfired and many of the used-to-be fans have evolved into a type of being pro- duced by a television heavy en- vironment and described by John Lardner as "Those who believe that if they turned the television set on in the winter time they would see nothing but an empty ball park." 0 O 0

Television. of course. is not the

away from ball parks. Many in fact believe that it has li'.l:-, :- nothing to do with falling attend- ances. and place the blame on the managers for slowing up the game to a walk by using more pitchers than is necessary. on the park con- ceisionaires for poor service and

like. and on the club owners 'V not providing more comfortable seating arrangements. and better parking conditions. Whatever cause, a solution had achieved soon before we are read- ing such baseball results as "New York 0 Podunk Dodgers 4 Mil-

DeMarco 17-10 Underdog .

Against Basil

SYRACUSE. N. Y., (AP)-Wel- terweiglit champion Tony De- Marco of Boston invades Carmen Basi11o's home territory tonight as a 17-to-10 underdog for the 15- round title fight at the War Mem- orial Auditorium.

It's turnabout for the chunky. 23-year-old Bostonian. Last April 1 he grabbed the 147-pound title on his home grounds by stopping Johnny Sexton in 14 rounds at the Boston Garden.

The swarthy son of a shoe- worker isn't dismayed by the oil 4. He made a joke of the wise money by whipping Saxton. a 4-to- 1 favorite making the first de- fence of the crown he won from Kid Gavilan.

Tony said he is confident of winning but his handlers go him one better. They believe DeMarco will win by a knockout in his first title defence even though the 20- year-old hallenkf never has been stopped.

TONY UNDERESTIMATED

"Neither was Saxlon until he met Tony." said Sammy Fuller. DeMarl:o's trainer. "Tony is great- ly underestimated. He has the punch to put away Basilio."

Basilio's handlers feel the same way about their fighter. .

"Carmen by a knockout," said! Johnny DeJohn. Basillo's co-man- ager.

Ordinarily statements like these are grist for the propaganda mills. But this "natural" between two good little fighters didn't need any steam-up.

The fight was sold out shortly

Ocean Life An Oceans Subject Of Research

OTTAWA (CP) .. Ocean life and the oceans themselves will be the subject of two world - wide re- search programs.

The international commission for the northwest Atlantic fisheries was told Thursday that an oceano- graphic study will deal with chang- ing conditions in the oceans and how they affect living things in the deep.

The second study. now under way. covers the total aquatic re- sources of the world which. al- though not fully developed. are a big contributor to everyday living.

The oceanographic program. out- lined by Dr. Lionel A. Walford. Woods Hole. Mass.. a scientific adviser to the 1" ry commis- sion in convention here. will be conducted in two parts. About so new island observatory stations will be set up to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to measure sea- sonal changes in sea level. All nations of the world with seagoing oceanographic vessels will gather data on movement of waters in the deeper parts of the ocean.

The aquatic resources survey. being conducted by the United Na- tions Food and Agriculture Organi- zation. is aimed at establishing the maximum amount of ocean food that might be available to humans and how it could be har- vested.

FAO is working with the com- mission now in convention here, the international commission for ex- ploration of the sea and the gen- eral fisheries councll for the Medi- terranean sea.
