Ed Merseth
Scores 3rd
Win in NWL
By UNITED PHESS
Ed Merseth nailed up his third
straight pitching victory last
night and his Tri-City team
mates used one big inning to
get him a 9-1 Northwest league
win over Spokane.
In the only other loop action,
second-place Lewiston nosed out
Wenatchee 4-3 to move a half
game closer to Yakima, rain-out
victim at Salem.
The Braves, playing in miser
able cold weather in Spokane,
put together four singles, Ernie
White's double, two Indian er
rors and a wild pitch for all
nine runs in the third.
Joe Rossi spoiled Merseth's
shutout bid with a stinging dou
ble to score Ronnie Johnson,
who got on compliments of the
Tri-City infield, in the eighth.
Two Jacobs, second baseman
Joe and pitcher Jerry, were the
winning combination at Lewis
ton. The Broncs tied it up, 3-3,
in the fifth of the scheduled
seven inning contest. Jerry hurl
ed no-hit ball against Wenatchee
the last six innings. ,
In the ninth, Joe Jacobs pow
dered one of Gene Shortledge's
offerings out of the park to sew
up the contest. The second game
was called off because of the
weather.
The first Iron furnace in the
U.S. was constructed In Virginia
in 1619.

Operation of TV Cameras
At Baseball Game Outlined;
College Fray
(Second of a series of three)
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York U.R) Television
and baseball met on a college
field here on a sunny Wednes
day afternoon In 1939.
The meeting was a shy,
fumbling affair. It is doubtful
whether it could be classified as
love at first sight
The principal parties In the
matter were Princeton and Co
lumbia, the home team. Also
present were one NBC camera
which was stationed behind
third base, and Bill Stern, an
experienced sportscaster who ap
proached the task with some
trepidation
The date was May 17. The
place. Baker Field. The station
was W2XBS, AN NBC project.
We were stationed on a hill
overlooking a field," recalls
Stern. "The field was about 100
feet away and about 10 feet be
low us. It was the second game
of a double-header.
"I didn't have a minltor so I
never knew at any time what
the camera was shooting. Half
the time, I was talking about
things that weren t even within
camera range.
"The only people who saw the
game, I think, were back at Ra
dio City. We did the whole thing
words !
First Tried
to find out what we could do out
doors with a TV camera I
think It was the first time a
camera was taken outdoors.
Talks Too Much
"After the game, John Royal,
the program manager of NBC,
told me I had talked too much.
And I did. I still do, as a matter
of fact."
.Princeton won that game In
10 innings, 2-1 (they also took
the first. Untlpviuri 09ma a.n
Afterwards, the NBC engineers
present suggested that that two
cameras might serve the cause
of baseball better.
They did get two cameras
when the first major league
game was televised on Aug. 23,
1939, from Ebbets Field in
Brooklyn with Cincinnati the
visiting team. Again W2ZBS did
the honors, with Red Barber
calling the plays.
Nowadays, the televising of
baseball games is considerably
more complex. There mnv no
three or four cameras on the
Held and a couple of others un
der the stands for interviews
and commercials. The camera
men are ball fans themselves,
since the trickiest part about
televisine baseball is trvino-
anticipate the plays.
WPIX in New York is a prime
example of a baseball - conscious
TV station. This year's WPIX
schedule calls for the casting of
77 Giant and 77 Yankee home
games and 18 Yankee rnnH
games the heaviest such as
signment in TV.
At the Polo Grounds, where
the Giants play, WPIX stations
four cameras on the field. Two
are behind home plate one
to cover the infield and pitcher
catcher area, the other to follow
batted balls to the outfield and
scan the bullpen.
Another camera is behind first
base it follows the lead run
ner. The fourth is set up along
the foul line in right field and
is used for color shots of the
crowd, the dugout areas and the
catcher racing back to the screen
for pop-ups.
There are four cameramen
and one relief man, an assistant
director who calls the camera
shots, and a pair of announcers.
Below the stands is the control
booth. In it sit two video men
who check constantly on picture
quality, one audio man who
checks the sound quality, a
technical director who rides herd
on the crew, and the director,
who is the brains of the telecast.
The director, assistant direc
tor and cameramen all are con
nected by an inter-com system
over which instructions ara bel
lowed. The director never sees the ac
tual ball game, but he is the key
man in getting it to the fans at
home. He sits in front of a series
of seven 4-by-3 inch monitor
screens four of which show
what the field cameras offer,
two of which are used for com
mercials and one for the names
of ballplayers which are super
imposed on the screen.
The director must make snap
decisions. Looking at his field
monitors, 1, 2, 3 and 4, he will
rattle off a series of commands:
"Stand by, 3. Take 3. Standby
2. Take 2. Take 1."
Sometimes, over the intercom
he will call for certain shots:
"3 Give me a tight shot of the
Giant dugout." He will wait as
camera three pans and order:
"Take 3." I

sports editor of tho Portland
Oregonian, has said. "This is a
matter of state prido and ap
preciation." COMMITTEE OKEHS
SCREENS
Jackson County chapter mem
bers of the Izaak Walton league
have received word from Wash
ington, D.C., that the Senate ap
propriations committee has ap
proved the $208,000 allocation
for screening the turbines at
Savage Rapids dam. The funds
are included in the public works
bill which already has passed
the House.
Savage Rapids screening is
one of the main objectives this
year of the local Walton chapter.
Unscreened turbines have been
termed possibly the No. 1 factor
in the decline of salmon and
steelhead runs on the Rogue
river.
LEGION ACTION BILLED
Medford high athletes who
reached the Oregon A-l finals
in baseball continue right on
into American Legion junior
ball with hardly a breather.
They travel to Rosoburg this
Friday for their opening game
in District 43.
The Medford-Ceniral Point
aggregation will compete this
summer in a loop which in
cludes Ashland. Grants Pass.
Myrtle Creek and Roseburg.
Success of tho Medford and
Crater high clubs this season
Is an indication of the fine
talent that will be seen on the
Legion club and Legionnaires
have high hope that their club
will get the backing of fans it
deserves. It is planned to play
most of the games under lights
at the fairgrounds but a good
gate for each of the games is
needed in order to pay for the
expense of lights.
Jack Sides is manager and
John Kovens, Medford high
mentor, is coach of the Legion
team. They have urged all
boys eligible in the Medford
and Central Point areas to
try out for the team. Boys
born after September I. 1938
