The plan covers seven Saturdays from Sept 22 to Nov 24, excluding the Pacific Coast and Southwest regions due to network hookups. Provisions include three blackout periods in each TV center.

Marciano Aims To Prove Heavyweight Status At Layne Bout
In Madison Square Garden on July 12 Marciano faces Rex Layne in a clash billed as a test of who belongs in the heavyweight picture.

The tale follows Leo Durocher from his 1928 Yankee debut to his high profile rise with the New York Yankees. It details his rapid popularity, flamboyant style, and clashes with teammates as management drafted him into a legendary yet combustible roster.
DiMag Likely To Quit After 51
Joe DiMaggio appears headed toward retirement after this season. The 12th All Star game in Detroit next Tuesday may be his last as age and injuries erode his Yankee stature. DiMaggio’s status as cleanup man and his fading power contrast with a team relying on Mantle, MacDougald, Bauer, Raschi, and others for late-season punch.
