The only hint that this was Memorial Day is the Indians-White Sox daytime doubleheader. For many years, that holiday was observed on May 30 regardless of the day of the week it fell on.

Am I correct in assuming that Cleveland was observing Daylight Savings Time then? The entire State of Ohio did not do so until 1967.

Sounds possible, since the boxing match on NBC aired
at 10 PM instead of 9, which would have been its airtime
on Eastern Standard Time. I'll defer to Tim Lones on this
one, however.

Yes..Cleveland was on DST then..When I was young, our family subscribed to a small town newspaper from Dover, Ohio in 1967 for a time..We were closer to Canton than Dover..The Dover area, in Tuscarawas County was just below Stark County, where I lived..Did not observe DST, so their TV listings were off by an hour..

1967 was the first year that DST "standardization" (pun intended) took effect, and the
entire state of Ohio observed it. The Cleveland area had DST going back to the 1940s.
