Cedar Rapids Bunnies Face Possible Loss of Pro Baseball
Poor attendance threatens Cedar Rapids with dropping from the Mississippi Valley league next year. Bunny directors Harry Johnson and G K Thompson warn that without improved season attendance the club cannot be financed. Midseason figures show Cedar Rapids far behind Waterloo, with Sunday crowds often under 1,000 and a season total near 25,000 versus 34,000 in 1922 and 33,000 last year. The club’s future hinges on fan patronage or plans to drop professional baseball.
