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.

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-

runs has now reached the
point where yanked-off shows
now are being replaced by re
runs of other shows.
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.
