SPORTS University Daily Kansan, February 29, 1984 Page 14 Name submitted for commissioner's job By United Press International RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Lt. Gov. Richard Davis, millionaire president of the New York Mets' top farm club, said yesterday that he was under consideration to be the next commissioner of Major League baseball. "What I know is that my name has been submitted, along with others, for consideration," said Davis, adding that she was not approached directly for the job. Davis, 62, a lawyer and mortgage banker, has been president of the International League's Tidewater Tides of Norwalk for 21 years. The Tides have held the Metz club and recently supplied the Mets with a new manager, Dave Johnson. A search committee, headed by Milwaukee Brewers owner Bud Selig, is seeking a successor for Bowie Kuhn who is scheduled to step down commissioner tomorrow. Selig was not immediately available for com- Davis said that his experience in sports, law, business, civic affairs and politics qualified him for the job. "THEY LOOKING for a lawyer, a businessman and someone who is devoted to the sport — and I am." Davis said. He told a Richmond radio station that he was very flattered to be considered for baseball's top job. Should he become commissioner, Davis said he would insist on complete authority. "I would not want to be involved in second-guessing in player negotiations or what I consider to be the best interests of baseball, and I would address myself seriously to what I consider a very serious drug problem in baseball," he said. Davis, readying for a bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1985, has been touted as a possible commissioner by "people in out of baseball," said Tides general manager Dave Rosenfield. HE DECLINED to identify those suggesting Davis for the position. "I know his name has been advanced and everybody who knows him thinks he is a hell of a man," Rosenfield said. White House aide James Baker III was reportedly approached for the commissioner's post several months ago. Peter Ueberoth, the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee head, is also considered a leading candidate. Davis, mayor of his native town of Portsmouth from 1974 to 1980, has also been involved in professional basketball, football and hockey. He has extensive interests in several television stations. DAVIS WAS part of an interim management team for the Virginia Cavaliers of the now-defunct American Basketball Association and helped handle the Norfolk Neptunes football team from 1968-70, and in 1975 the Tidewater Sharks hockey team of the Southern League.

"Holding that the NFL is not a single entity, but rather an aggregation of economic competitors, is tantamount to ruling that the NFL structure itself is per se invalid under the Sherman Act." The same sporting leagues as are currently used in football, hockey, golf, soccer, basketball." Davis beats NFL again in fight to remain in LA By United Press International However, in a dissenting opinion, Judge Spencer Williams said he disagreed with his two colleagues. SAN FRANCISCO — The National Football League's right to dictate to franchise owners a set of rules for the operation and location of their clubs and teams, which must be ratified by a federal appeal court ruling on the Raiders' 'shift to Los Angeles.' The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal in San Francisco upheld a U.S. District Court ruling by a 2-1 margin that said the league violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act when it attempted to block Raiders' General Manager Al Davis from moving his franchise from Oakland, Calif. to Los Angeles. Al LoCasale, Raiders' Executive Assistant, said the team was overjoyed with the court's ruling. The league appended the decision and damage award to the federal appeals court in San Francisco. The court, in its decision yesterday, said that while the Sherman Act would prevent a single business entity" that would exempt it from the Sherman Act. The NFL now has one last legal alternative to preserve its right to control the movement and operation of its franchises — an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court — An NFL spokesman overtime that the league intends to do just that. The first trial in a Los Angeles federal court ended in a hung jury. A second trial ended with the jury siding "The 2-1 split among the 9th Circuit panel emphasizes the need for Supreme Court clarification on the fundamental question of how the antitrust laws should be applied to sports leagues," said the league spokesman in a statement. Accordingly, we intend to take this case to the Supreme Court." In the Davis case, the Raiders' general manager challenged the league's Rule 4.3, that says 21 out of 26 franchise owners must approve a move before a team can be relocated. Davis was given permission to move but was turned down. "Throughout this litigation we knew we were right and that the National Football League was operating in bad faith as well as in violation of the federal antitrust laws," he said. "In fact, the NFL has continued to act in bad faith trying to drain us economically. The NFL has aided in seeking eminent domain action whereby a city can condemn and take over a team whether it wanted to move or not."
