Baseball 'Rerun' Offers
Good Idea For Summer TV
By WILLIAM EWALD
UPI Staff Writer
NKW YOliK iL'PH K it only
logical, in a summer freighted
with TV reruns, that NUC-TV
should offer a rcjicat of the All
Star baseball game.
Monday, a Rroii') of gentlefolk
from the National and American
Leagues reenacted an excrcis?
originally presented on July 7.
The cast was changed somewhat
notably missing on the National
side were two skilled performers.
Orlando Cepeda and i William
White. And the point of ongina
tion was shifted from Pittsburgh
to Los Angeles, but that's only
fitting since almost all network
television is moving to the West
Coast anyway.
However, there was one rather
striking innovation in this repeat
A change in script. In the July 7
original, the Nationals, won. Mon
day, the Americans won. In a
way, the idea seems like a dandy
solution to the problem of sum
mer repeats and I suggest other
TV series might adopt it if
Peter Gunn and Marshal Dillon
and Wyatt Earp were to lose all
their winter gunfights during the
summer, it might add some tang
to the schedule.
As for the game itself, an
nouncer Mel Allen described it at
the close as "a game fraught
with excitement from start to fin
ish." This, of course, was a kind
of commercial and like most com
mercials was somewhat overly
enthusiastic.
It was, as a matter of fact, a
pretty dull game a little less
stimulating than a crocheting bee.
There seems to be a kind of con
spiracy of silence about baseball
with nobody quite willing to ad
mit that it's The Great American
Bore. It may be the only sport
in which fans derive their chief
enjoyment not from the tedium of
the game itself, but in wallowing
in marginalia about past proceed
ings hugging to themselves ob
scure statistics, collecting .quirks
of performers., engaging in unin
formed discussions about the mer
its of players.
On television, the game is less
than satisfactory. TV offers sec
tional baseball its canvas dis
plays only partial glimpses of its
complex actions like the hit aqd
run, the double play, the base hit
with men on.
One typical example: Monday
in the seventh inning with An
thony Kubck on second and
James Runnels on first, Nelson"
Fox singled for the Americans.
The camera showed the ball
stithcring toward the outfield,
picked up Kubck as he planked
the run and then switched back
to Fox roosting on first
What was missing was the mer
ry-go-round itself: The complete
picture of the ball being retrieved
and thrown, the defense realign
ing, the runners scooting. It
struck me then that looking at
baseball on TV is a little like try
ing to watch a tedious war
through a keyhole.
Th Channel Swim: "The Moon
and Sixpence," an NBC-TV soe-
ci.il which stars Laurence llvier
has been shifted from Dec. 10 to
Oct. 30. NBC-TV is preparing a
daily fashion show for its day
time schedule it'll replace one

daytime docket: From These
Hoots, Court of Human Relations
or County Fair.

Champagne" on CBS-TV's U.S.

year. Lana Turner is ticketed in

cial Oct 11 Danny Thomas

Richard Diamond, Private De
tective, currently seen Sundays on

Rockefellers
Are Preparing
For Wedding
SOGNE, Norway (UPI Steven
Rockefeller and Anne Marie Ras
mussen announced today that
they will be married here on Aug.
22 despite a teachers convention
which threatened to leave no
rooms in local hotels for the
Rockefeller family or other wed
ding guests.
The American "prince" and his
one-time kitchen maid "Cinderel
la" made the announcement at a
brief, informal news conference in
the road outside the Rasmussen
home.
He did all the talking at the
brief meeting, which consisted
mostly of a picture-taking session
for still cameramen. Motion pic
ture cameras were barred by
Stephen David, the press aide
New York's Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller sent to give his son
a hand with his unaccustomed
publicity. David said the ban on
movies was at Steven's request.

'PETROVITCH' SULLIVAN
OPENS HIS MOSCOW SHOW
By ALINE MOSBY
UPI Staff Writer
MOSCOW. (UPD - Ed "Petro
vich" Sullivan, speaking haltingly
in Russian instead of English,
opened , a Soviet tour Monday
night with a gala premiere of a
variety show staged as part of
the American Exhibition here
The show was approximately
the mixture Americans are accus
tomed, to seeing on television
jugglers, pretty singers in tight,
low-cut dresses, a contortionist
and a magician, among other
acts.
Ballerina Nora Kaye and oper
atic soprano Rise Stevens, sing
ing "Getting To Know You" in
Russian, provided a spice of cul
ture to the bill.
An audience of intent, smiling
Russians applauded every act, al
though in some cases it wasn't
certain that they got the point.
The turns they liked particularly
were called back repeatedly for
bows.
A critic for the official Tass
agency said the audience "ac
cepted the performance in a very
warm, friendly manner."
Sullivan's show, specially tai
lored for Russian audiences, is
scheduled to play two weeks in
the outdoor theater in Moscow's
Gorky Park. He plans also to play
Odess and Tbilisi before returning
home.
The TV master of ceremonies.
whese father's name was Peter,
adopted "Petrovich" i Peterson i
as his middle name for the dura
tion of the tour.
A Russian's middle name cus
tomarily identifies him as his fa
ther's son. i
j Sullivan delighted the audience
I by introducing the acts in halting
I Russian, a languase he learned
during a recent three-week stay
in Las Vegas.
"I was the only person in Las
Vegas studying Russian roulette,"
he quipped Monday night.

In addition to the Misses Kaye
and Stevens, hits of the show in
cluded dancers Marge and Gowcr
Champion and a team billed as
Janik and Arnaut featuring a girl
contortionist who coiled around
her partner like a snake.
The Barry Sisters, in white
dresses so tight they could hard
ly walk, drew gasps of delight
with a jazz version of the Rus
sian song "Dark Eyes."
Seismograph Records
A Strong Earthquake
BERKELEY. Calif. (UPD A
strong earthquake believed to
have been centered in western
Nevada was recorded on the Uni
versity of California seismograph
here early today.
However, the Washoe County
sheriff's office in Reno reported
that the quake had not been felt
here, nor had any phone calls
been received from persons who
felt the temblor.
Seismologist Don Tocher said
that the earthquake's eniccnter
was about 240 miles from Berke
ley. He said that the temblor be
gan at 12:37 a.m. and lasted six
minutes. It registered an intensity
of 5.5 on the Richter scale, ac
cording to Tocher.

NEW YORK ( UPI i Former
New York Gov. Avcrell Harri
man oraised Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon Sunday for stand
ing up to Nikita Khrushchev in
their public debate at the U.S.
