Lot Of Things Going On
BY ROBERT SYLVESTER

That was a close call for the
Yankees. Just think, if they
hadn't acted with dispatch and
let Phil Rizutto go in the middle
of Saturdays game. they might
have wound up the season only
five or six in the lead. The
Giants, too. are willing to try
anything. Recently, Joe Di-
Maggie was offered $4,000 to
don a Giant uniform for one day
at the Polo Grounds to boost the
box Office. Contractual obliga7
tions to the Yanks prevented him
from accepting. Meanwhile,
Leo Durocher last week confided
to a friend over lunch that his
main job this fall will be snag-
|ging guest celebrities for the
IDinah Shore TV show. :. And
finally. when Eddie Fisher struck
out to Monte Stratton in the Old
Timers game, the singer was
terribly embarrassed until his
manager, Milton Blackstone, re-
minded him that the situation
would have been doubly embar-
lassing had he gotten a hit of the
disabled hurler.
