TV Football War Proving Break For Stay-Home Fans By TED SMITS NEW YORK (AP)--The multi- million-dollar football battle of the television waves gets under way in earnest in the United States Aug. 13, with the all-star game in Chi- cago. Never" before has so much foot- ball been offered to the TV public. The American Broadcasting Company will televise college foot- ball Sn afierhonns. : C = ute pal ,000, or righis alone ay the total bill may hit $4,000,000. Dumont will televise the Chicago all-star Pie as a prelude to pro- fessional football Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons by exclus- ive contract with the National Football League. The season's cost is around $2,600,000. DARING EXPERIMENT . In a daring experiment but on a more modest scale, the National Broadcasting Company is bringing Canadian football to American viewers Saturday afternoons for the first time--with at least four games in direct conflict with ABC's programs. e fourth big TV network, the Columbia Broadcasting System, will stick to its regular week-end programs which are light on the sports side except for a half-hour Saturday afternoon show featuring major Forse races, and possibly some football scoreboard pro- grams, Even without CBS this will mean a pigskin foncentiation in excess of an; seen ore, Lids T0iq which paid the bill for the college game the last two years, has shown a marked disinclination to do it again. GM was reported to be ready to shell out its millions again this year if it could have latitude in showing three schools twice durin the season, The schools were Sai to be Notre Dame, Michigan State and Michigan. But the NCAA said "no."

SPORTS ROUNDUF Plenty Players Stepping Stones Wearing Out NEW YORK (AP)--If the min- ors seem to be withering on the vine as leagues fold from day to day, baseball for the kids seems to be enjoying boom times. The Little Leagues enjoyed a tremendous expansion and now the Babe Ruth League (formerly the Little Bigger League) is spreading to all corners of the United States. Youngsters who outgrow the Little League class move on to this organization for boys in the 13-14-15 year age group and, even- tually, play school or college ball, SCOUT'S DELIGHT There is a big, deep-chested boy of 15 in Stamford, Conn., who has itched the town to three National i championships and is gushing for a fourth, Big league scouts can do noth- ing but drool over Andy Wasil, jr., for the next two years until "he gets out of high school. Then it will be up to him and his. father, a former semi-pro pitcher who now is a shipping clerk," to decide Coming Up But whether he turns pro or goes to college. The young phenom's father, now 42 goes over each game in de- tail the next day, trying to work out th~ 'mistakes. "Once he looked slow fielding a bunt off the mound," Andy senior said. "I told him to be ready always to field his position. He catches on quick." CAN HIT, TOO Young Andy bats cleanup and also plays the outfield when he isn't pitching. In a recent tournament game for the Connecticut title, Wasil hit a ball into the top of a tree almost 400 f t away in right field. They say it was the longest ball hit at the Stamford Park since Johnny Mize hit one over the trees when St. Louis Cardinals came" through for an exhibition. The youngster is just one of hun- dreds laying in approximately 600 Babe Ruth Leagues in 40 states and Canada. A national sponsor picks up the tab for this non-profit, tax-exempt organization.

He's 18-year-old Ross Siemms who has en playing the game since he was nine. The chess medn captured his imagination and in- terest when as a boy he began moving them across the board for his sick father. The Toronto-born player ada's unofficial junior champion-- there is no official title--and on one occasion defeated Canada's top senior player, Now he's fot his eye on the world junior title. MANY TRIES T His triumph in the U.S. Junior championship at Long Beach, Calif. last month culminated a long se- ries of tries, At 14 he just missed becoming one of the youngest play- ers ever to win the U.S. title. He's played in the tournament every year since 1947 except last year when he competed for the world title at Copenhagen. At Copenhagen he was 4th in a field of 20 of the world's best young players. "I think I'll do a lot better if I go over again," he said as he ar- rived back home. He hopes through experience gained in recent tourna- ments to place among the top three next year. The affable young man with steady blue eyes and a relaxed manner attributes his success to the experience gained by playing in tournaments at an pa age. KEEN MIND NEEDE! "You need an analytical mind, the power of concentration and plenty of experience to be a top player," he said. He thinks Canada is not a strong chess country because her players lack experience. In matches with Canada's best Ross has acquitted himselt vw #'. In 1952 he defeated Frank Ancci- son, Canadian co-champion. In the Toronto championships. He earned a draw with Canada's other cham- pion Abe Yanofsky, of Winnipeg during the Canadian champion- ships in' 953. In the United States he twice captured the Dittman trophy sym- bolic of the 16-year-olds and under. TOP COMPETITION During the 10-day Long Beach last month he com- peted against 44 top junior players. He defeated defending champion Saul Yarmack, 20, of Passaic, tourney at is Can-|im U.S. championship for | § Young Canadian Chess Player Wins United States Jr. Crown N.J., in a tense 4%-hour duel after warding off a strong attack by the American on the side. Ross broke Yarmack's attack on the 65th move and then went on to checkmate him. He also won the rapid - transit chess championship, a contest in which each move must be made within 10 seconds. He led the regu- lar tournament contest the last five days of the tourney. The young player, whose other interests are playing the piano, bridge and swimming, places great portance on rest and prepara- tion before each match. "In Long Beach I got lots of sleep and pre- pared for each match by studying : ks on chess and game collec- tions." NEEDS MATHEMATICS But chess doesn't occupy all his time. He plans to drop it com- pletely for the next nin® months and devote his time to sS.udying higher mathematics. He is studying to become an actuary in a To- ronto life insurance company. '"That is my ambition," he added thoughtfully, 'to become an actu- ary and make enough money so that I can devote three months of the year exclusively to chess."

(CP Photo) WHIPPER WATSON BEATEN Irate Fans Make Togo And Referee Their Main Target For The Night "The king can do no wrong' -- that was the way one scribe in the distant past put it--the mod- ern version is '""Whipper Watson must not lose ir Oshawa. There were wild scenes of riot- ing, mayhem and old-fashioned disorder at the Kinsmen Mem- orial Stadium last night at the conclusion of the main bout of the evening when The Great Togo was awarded the third and deciding fall by Referee Joe Gollob, follow- ing a wid and hectic session that had the fans in a frenzy. The climax came when Togo managed to hurl Watson out of the ring, with the unintententional but still effective assistance of the referee himself--and then when the official counted Watson 'out of the ring" and awarded the de- ciding fall to The Great Togo, bedlam reigned. When Watson did get back into the ring, Togo promptly piled into him again and Jainlustered another cruel pound- g. FOOD FOR THE FIRE Just as if the fans weren't al- ready seething, fuel to the flames was added by the unscheduled ap- pearance of "brothers under the skin". Brother Tosh Togo clamb- ered into the ring just before they resumed the action for the third fall and then he was Frompily on the scene to share in the glo when the bout ended--or at least, when 'it should have ended . But about that time "Pat" Flanagan hove into view like an Irish washerwoman doit spring cleaning. He whipped aside every- thing that came in view, includ- ing Referee Gollob (oh, how the fans loved that) and then he pil- ed into Togo and brother Tosh. But his flurry came to an end with Tosh and Togo ganging up on him. But the worst was yet to come, On the way to the dressing rooms, the ushers weren't big enough to keep away the blood-thirsty fans. Remember When. , . Phil Edwards, British Guianan running for Canada at the Los Ageles . Olympics 22 years ago to- day, pushed the 1,500-metre field to record time as he himself set the early pace and finished third to Luigi Beccalli of Italy.

Referee Gollob was attacked and retali- ated--with a neat punch, but they couldn't cope with them all and finally they beat a hasty retreat to the dressing rooms. The Togo brothers were moving faster than their country's sprint champion as they dashed for safety, and Gollob beat his way to the opposite dressing - room. A miniature lake and chain of deep mud-puddles further hamp- ered the crowd and it was a full 25 minutes before the milling crowd could get outside the main gate--let alone get to their cars and 'dry land". The Great Togo won the first fall of the main bout with his favorite 'judo chop", administered as a helpless Watson catapulted back of the ropes, into which Togo hurled him. Whipper Billy evened the count with his newest punishment hold, the claw. MIDGETS AGAIN PLEASE Over 1560 turned out last night despite the rain and they were rewarded with a bang-up card. The prelimin bout and the h of high order, although as it turned out, they were com- pletely eclipsed by the sensational action produced in the main go.

While they were pum- melling each other outside the ring, the referee counted them both out and ualified them on a "no match" decision, "The Mighty Schultz" was a mite late in arriving, so for a start Otta Bohmann took on 'Pee Wee' James in an individual session.
