...THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIES (CBS, 9-11 p.m.). Shirley Booth and Robert Ryan in About Mrs. Leslie (1954), a story of two people who meet during World War II and spend a holiday together in California. Every year thereafter the idyl is repeated, and each year he vanishes until the next...

California's roster doesn't contain a single starter sure of winning five games.

Cleveland has Sam McDowell, the league's best pitcher, Sonny Siebert, who threw...
