Tony Trabert, Vic Seixas; Davis Cup finals will be in the U.S., with TV there. No Holiday For Sports Summer Television Schedule Is Packed With Top Events This summer on television you can practically pick your sport and settle back in the easy chair to watch the top events. In the present controversy over television vs. turnstiles, nobody has yet suggested how the average fan can check in at the gate for such widely scattered events as the tennis championships from Forest Hills, N.Y., the All-Star football game from Chi¬ cago’s Soldier Field and a cham¬ pionship fight from San Francisco. For the average fan, the only way to see these events is through the magic medium of television. One of the high spots of the sports year will be the All-Star bfiseball game between the top performers of the American and National Leagues. It will be played July 12 at Milwau¬ kee and carried over NBC. Also on NBC’s schedule is the IVorld Championship of Golf from the Tam O’Shanter Club near Chicago on Aug. 14, the Davis Cup tennis from Forest Hills Aug. 26 to 28, and the National Tennis Championships from the same club. Sept. 10-11. Football willTfiake an early bow on Aug. 12, when the College All-Stars meet the Cleveland Browns, cham¬ pions of the National Football League. The “Baseball Game of the ,Week,” featuring Dizzy Dean and Buddy Blattner, will continue over the CBS network throughout the season. This is in addition to the heavy program of baseball telecasts scheduled by the individual clubs of both the Ameri¬ can and National Leagues. Boxing will continue throughout the summer, as far as network origina¬ tions are concerned. Du Mont will carry the Monday night bouts at New York’s St. Nicholas Arena. ABC will carry a full schedule each Wednesday night. NBC’s Friday night schedule will be largely replaced by an up-to- the-minute newsreel of leading sports events, but some bouts of champion¬ ship caliber will be presented. 18
