V Banks Smashes 13th Spring Roundtripper By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sporls Writer Ernie Banks and Willie Mays, two of the National league's finest hitters, were in a fence-busting mood to day as they approached the final week end of the spring training grind. Banks virtually wrapped up the pre-season home run clouting title Thursday as he unloaded his 13th tops for both leagues in sparking the Chicago Cubs to a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mays hit two homers his seventh and eighth of the spring but also contributed a wild throw in the 10th in ning that enabled the Cleve land Indians to down the San Francisco Giants, 15-14. Mays doubled home two runs in the top of the 10th to give the Giants a 14-12 lead, but the Triba tied the score in the bottom of the same inning on a two-run double by J. W. Porter. Then Gary Geiger scampered home with the winning run when Mays grabbed Russ Nixon's pop fly in short center and threw all the way to the back stop. Cards Win In Thursday's only other exhibitions, the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Chicago White Sox, 8-7, scoring their winning run in the ninth on a wild pitch by rookie pitcher Bill Dufour, and the Pitts burgh Pirates whipped Mexi co City, 10-2, as Bob Friend pitched a two-hit shutout the first six innings.

On the other fronts, the Bal timore Orioles placed veteran pitcher Art Houtteman on the waiver list, and the Senators recalled infielder Oswaldo Alvarez from their Charlotte farm Jeam.

Summer Replacements On Television Will Have Repeats of Filmed Shows By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York (TP) What with "Climax" running a kinescope Thursday night and "Play house 90" turning to film, it was a little like sipping sum mer TV in advance. CBS-TV, shackled by a technicians' strike, had a strong excuse for avoiding live telecasts. But for some time, I've been wondering about this business of summer TV and why the networks sur render to catchpenny blahs and re-runs whenever hot weather hoves in view. Oh, actually of course, I'm just pretending. I know why. Summer TV is full of things like re-runs because it's cheaper that way. It's a little like adding water to milk to stretch it, maybe not very sat isfying, but then how often have you as a consumer of TV ever complained about your summer television being wa tered down? You don't, so here's what you'll get: You'll get repeats of filmed shows until they run out the rabbit ears of your antenna. In fact, this business of re- Walker the Weeper says: When you attend the Sportsman's Fair at the Medford Armory this Saturday or Sunday ...

Thus, when NBC -TV's "Your Hit Parade" goes off, you'll get the old "On Trial" series retitled "The Joseph Cotton Show." In place of NBC-TV's Gisele MacKenzie, starting Saturday you'll see "Turning Point," which is ac tually just old "G. E. The atre" and "Schlitz Playhouse" shows and a new name. CBS-TV will take the "Dan ny Thomas Show" off for the summer and replace it with "I Love Lucy" re-runs. Where CBS-TV has "I Love Lucy" now (Wednesday night) you'll see another revived series, "Gerald McBoing Boing." "The Brothers" is coming back in place of Jack Benny on CBS and NBC-TV also is reviving another flop series, "Noah's Ark" for Sundays. Right now, the tentative summer network schedules show only a sprinkling of new shows: At NBC-TV, a roster of singers and comedians for Dinah Shore, the Steve Law-rence-Eydie Gorme Show for Steve Allen, a filmed Western called "Jefferson Drum," a possible anthology of discard ed "Pilot" films, and what looks like a medium-budget variety replacement for Perry Como. ABC-TV has "ESP" as a summer replacement for Frank Sinatra; a new quiz, "Anybody Can Play" and a clump of on-film what-is-its like "Enterpris e," "Your Neighbor," "The World" and "Holiday Handbook." CBS-TV thus far has only one fairly interesting possibil ity "Too Young To Go Steady" with Don Ameche as a live replacement for "De cember Bride" but there also has been some talk recently of holding it off till fall. The schedules aren't com pletely filled in yet, but there doesn't seem to be much of interest brewing. Summer could be a time in which the networks turned over a good parcel of their time to young singers, fledgling comics and low -budgeted, but imagina tive drama in the DroDless style of say, CBS-TV's "Cam era Three. But it won't haDDen. The networks, working under the assumption that the whole country is sun-tanning itself until 11 every evening, will fill home screens with second hand goods and bargain base ment fare. Their principal ex cuse is that viewing is down in the summer, but what pro grammers fail to take into consideration is that viewing is down mainly because qual ity is. Waltonians Will Meet On Monday Cole Rivers, Oregon state game commission fishery agent for this area, will give the latest information on the Rogue river fishery at the reg ular monthly meeting of the Izaak Walton league's Jackson County chapter on Monday, April 14. The meeting will be at 8 pjn. in the Pioneer room of the Jackson hotel. Rivers is expected to report on the fish screen installa tions at Savage Rapids dam. The $200,000 screen project is scheduled to have its first testing next Monday or Tues day. The Walton chapter was instrumental in obtaining fed eral appropriation for the screening to protect down stream migrating salmon and steelhead from damage or de struction in irrigation district turbine intakes. Timber Exchange Extensive plans are being made to build up the spring salmon and summer steelhead fishery. There will be a report at the meeting on the progress being made in the effort to put timber land on the lower Rogue into public hands. Con gressman Charles Porter and Senator Richard Neuberger have introduced identical bills in the House of Representa tives and the Senate which would authorize the federal forest service to trakle land with private owners along the lower Rogue. The area runs from about 10 miles above Gild Beach to the point where the Siskiyou National forest includes both banks of the river. The Waltonian pollution abatement committee, under direction of Bob Huff, is working on plans to gain im provements on Bear creek. First and most important step in restoration of the creek is the $260,000 improvement planned by the city of Ash land on its sewage disposal system.
