Infield Fly Rule Dilemma Cubs versus Braves
A Chicago Cubs infield fly scenario against the Milwaukee Braves tests rule interpretation. With one out, George Altman on second and Frank Thomas on first, Ernie Banks hits a fly to right of second. Mantilla flags it as an infield fly but wind carries it foul and Mantilla muff's it in foul territory, Altman tags up and advances. Mantilla recovers and throws to Mathews for the tag, prompting the question of who is out and who bats again.

Setting Up A TV Program For Football League
New York viewers will see more Dallas Texans than Giants in 1960 as Jay Michaels helps Harry Wismer set up an AFL TV plan. Titans home games will air Friday nights with about 30 AFL games on TV plus road games, a Saturday night game of the week and a Sunday game when not playing. Regional networks will cover areas without AFL teams while Chicago and others see more AFL than NFL games. Protests from Dallas and other college-televised cities influenced the plan.
