Help changing legend in SGPLOT from saying LOESS to my Variable and suggestions to improve graph?

Hello,

I created this time series graph with concentration on my left Y axis and Cases on my Right Y axis.

I used "SCATTER" for my concentration and 'LOESS" for my cases.

So I have 2 questions.

1) How can I get change my legend from saying "LOESS" to "Cases"?

2) Any suggestions on how to make this look cleaner and nicer to look at?

Below is my code and my current graph. Thank you.

proc sgplot data=WWCC;
 SCATTER x=date y=concentration;
 LOESS  x=date y=cases / Y2AXIS lineattrs=(pattern=Solid color=Red);
Run;

Add the option legendlabel="Cases" to your LOESS statement, to get the proper legend.
