While removing the threat of prosecution, the court did not necessarily give baseball a clean bill. It said that "if there are evils in this field" requiring anti-trust action, it is up to congress to act.

It noted, however, that congress has failed to act for 30 years. There was no indication congress plans any action.

Burton and Reed also noted that congress never had specifically exempted baseball from the anti-trust laws. The senate commerce committee has approved a bill to permit baseball to restrict broadcasts and telecasts of major league games in minor league areas without fear of anti-trust prosecution. The senate failed to act on it before adjourning. Technically, the bill would permit baseball to restore a rule that prohibits unauthorized broadcasts and telecasts by one baseball club within a 50-mile radius of the home territory of another cluh. The rule was junked in 1951 after the justice department threatened antitrust action.

The suits, totalmg $825,000, were brought by two minor league players and the former owner of the minor league El Paso team of the Arizona-Texas League who claimed they suffered because, of the reserve clause and other baseball regulations. Chandler said he was pleased and delighted that baseball had "won its fight." He predicted that the court ruling will "stand for a long time without further challenge."

Mary's Troy In Line For Title Bout Against Olson By GEORGE RIDGE Republic Sports Writer TEMPE If present negotiations by Athletic Director Dr. D. R. Van Petten are completed. Arizona Sun Devils may play both Texas Tech and the University of Cincinnati in football here next year.

A game with Cincinnati Nov. 6 at Goodwin Stadium was virtually certain yesterday as the Bearcats released their 1954 slate containing the Sun Devils. Van Petten, however, would not commit himself except to say that the game is "very apt to go through." He was given permission yesterday by the ASC Board of Athletic control to negotiate for a guarantee, the only obstacle blocking a signed contract. So far this year, Cincinnati has lost only a 31-7 decision to Marquette while the Hilltoppers were red hot at the beginning of the season. Since then, the Bearcats have won six straight for a 7-1 season mark.

Others included on the 1954 Cincinnati schedule are COP, Hardin-Simmons, Dayton, Tulsa, Marquette, Xavier, Miami of Ohio, and a possible shot at the University of Georgia. Van Petten would only say that the Sun Devils are "very interested" in Texas Tech as a home opponent in 1954. Among others being considered in case the deal with Tech falls through are College of the Pacific and Houston. Both teams would be signed on a two-year, home and home basis. If arrangements are completed, it would be tbe first time a Sun Devil team baa played either school.

Ahearn said he received an assurance of this from Jim Norris, president of the International Boxing Club. Should Sandy defeat Troy, Ahearn said, Sandy will be matched with Ernie Durando, and the winner of that fight will go against Olson here in May. Ahearn said there will be no Troy-Durando fight, if Troy wins because Durando fights for the same manager.
