We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Stadium. At Ebbets Field, Ralph Gif- fen commands seven cameras and 27 technicians. Lenses at Brooklyn will be manned at ground level for detailed close-ups. Club restrictions at the other ball parks force cameramen upstairs. Giffen, working his fifth year, says the hit with runners on base is the toughest for his lensmen to cover. Murphy, directing for eight years, and Susskind, for six, elect the cut-off DODGER ROAD SCHEDULE play as the one they think most diffi¬ cult to follow. A familiar item on the pre- and post-game table d’ hote is Happy Fel¬ ton’s Knothole Gang, a half hour show preceding all Dodger home games. This will be the sixth year for Happy, longest of any of the baseball TV added attractions. Happy also follows all home games with Talk to the Stars, a 15-minute quizzer. Baseball sage Red Barber gives Yankee viewers behind-the-scenes glimpses of baseball operations from various Stadium locales, before game time, and a 10-minute post-game chat from his TV clubhouse. Frankie Frisch, who will rehash the Polo Grounds hassles for 15 minutes on his post-game hearing, may be glad to be free of the hazards of pre-game telecasting. The “Flash,” a former Giant, recalls, with justifiable dis¬ pleasure, some batting tips he offered to Red Schoendienst on a pre-game show, which were so well mastered that the Cardinal second baseman lofted homers in each of his first two turns up against the Giants. The players? How do they feel about TV appearances? Most of them love it! They like the publicity. They like the money. Roy Campanella, Johnny Antonelli and Yogi Berra were named by the directors as their respective teams’ most popular TV personalities. Other before and after shows are: Hall of Fame, a quarter hour of mem¬ orable moments in baseball, on film, preceding all Dodger telecasts, and Adventures in Sport, filmed highlights of recent sports events, which follows all Brooklyn road games. It all adds up to a multi-coursed baseball repast to be spiced by a fe¬ male commentator and embellished by late-night baseball snacks from Mil¬ waukee, where telecast time is 10 P.M.
