Phillies Break Attendance Mark at Shibe Park
The Philadelphia Phillies set an all time attendance record of 465 876 fans this season at Shibe Park. The figure nearly doubled the 1942 attendance and reflects gains from removing high salaried stars and trimming spring training trips. New owners William D Cox and associates are expected to post a sizeable profit after purchasing the club from NL. Freddie Hutchinson, former Detroit Tigers ace, in his first start since April, pitched seven innings for the Norfolk Naval Training Station allowing one hit and a 21 batter minimum.
