Bravos* Fans Answar:
Southeast Is Major League
The question has been asked
often enough, “Is Atlanta major
league?” The fans of the South
east have supplied the answer.
With only one-third of their
first National League season el
apsed, Southeastern fans have
streamed into Atlanta Stadium
to support the Braves through
good times and bad.
In fact, the biggest question
mark hanging over the South
land was whether the Braves
could expect reasonable support
should they fail to stay near
first division. The answer came
when, despite a stretch of seven
victories and 20 losses, the Br
aves played to a total of 185,381
during their last homestand of

LITTLE LEAGUE
(From Page 14)
of the season may be rough.
In the Minor League the Red
Sox are well on their way to
winning the pennant. They lead
by two games and may not be
able to be caught. They have
the best pitcher in the league,
two of the top five batters, run
getters and hit-producers. They
are the best balanced team In
the league. The Braves in se
cond place are better than the
others but their fielding has cost
them two defeats against the
Red Sox which could have put
them In first place. They lost
a good player when Mark Step
hens moved up to the Rams.
They are the best batting team
in the league and this could
help them catch the Red Sox.
The third-place Yankees have no
big star anywhere. They just
manage to get the job done or
wait on the other team to give
them the game.
The Trojans In fourth place
have several big bats, eventhough
two of them, Wayne Allen and
Mark Lord went to the Majors.
The Trojans lose their games in
the field and they have lost too
many to catch the leaders. The
Pirates are an off-and-on team.
They have several good players
but not many. They have been
off a little more than on this
year.
