MCA Televizes 500 Mile Indy Race For Moviegoers
Music Corporation of America bets one million dollars that auto racing fans will prefer four hours of closed circuit television from Indianapolis Motor Speedway to attending in person. The project wires 87 miles around the 2 1/2 mile oval with 12 camera positions, delivering more action to movie houses than stands offer. Viewers gain comfort and lower costs, while the only missing element is the smell of burning rubber.

The Cleveland Indians have won 10 of 11 night contests under the lights, with only one defeat by the New York Yankees. They swept Boston in a rain-shortened 3-0 win, as Dick Donovan and Sonny Siebert combined for six innings of two-hit ball.
