National League Threatened With Two $1,000,000 Suits
While top baseball executives like president Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators expressed confidence that the national game would survive its newest legal test, there was no denying that a court decision favoring the two players would rock baseball from top to bottom.
New York, March 9—(U.P.)—Organized baseball, facing what could be a fight for life in its current form, was ordered today to explain in federal court its reasons for not restoring pitchers Max Lanier and Fred Martin to active duty immediately with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The "show-cause" order March 15, was one of three sledgehammer blows aimed at the present structure of baseball by the pair of suspended Card hurlers.
the "show-cause" order, which baseball must answer next Tuesday.
In addition to the "show cause" order, Lanier and Martin also filed suit for triple damages of $2,500,000. They asked the court for a permanent injunction which would keep them off baseball's suspended list and guarantee that their player contracts would not contain either the famous "reserve clause" or a "termination clause."
Besides these charges, John L. Flynn, attorney for Lanier and Martin, poised the threat of more suits to come. Asked whether he was readying suits on behalf of other suspended players, Flynn said:
"There will be more."
Lanier and Martin, each under a five-year suspension meted out to them by baseball commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler for "jumping" to the Mexican league in 1946, said they were anxious to get back in the game because they are in a tough financial situation.
Both indicated they would like to go back to the Cardinals with whom they would "just as soon play as with anyone else."
Federal judge John Clancy signed the "show-cause" order Tuesday giving baseball one week to reply.
As far as their suit is concerned, baseball must answer within 20 days. Attorney Flynn submitted a 51-paragraph brief, and all-important paragraph 47 charged that:
"The defendants (organized baseball's top officials) have. . . engaged, knowingly and continuously, in a wrongful and unlawful conspiracy to monopolize and restrain commerce among the states in violation of sections of the Sherman and Clayton anti-trust laws. . . and the defendants. . . have denied and continue to deny the plaintiffs herein the opportunity to earn a livelihood in their profession and are causing the plaintiffs. . . progressively greater irreparable damage."
This damage, it was claimed,
amounted to $333,333.33 in the case
of Martin and $500,000 in the case of
Lanier. Thus, triple damages for
NCAA List Almost Full
New York, March 9—(U.P.) The unfilled belles in college basketball's two glamour tournaments to-day could be counted on one hand.
The National Collegiate Athletic association tournament listed a full complement of four teams for the Eastern regionals, to be held at Madison Square Garden, Monday, March 21 and Tuesday March 22, but had not yet lined up any entries for the Western regionals, scheduled for Kansas City, Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19.
The National Invitational basket-brawl, which opens Saturday at Madison Square Garden, still needed one more team from the New York metropolitan area to complete its field of eight teams.
Officials of the latter tournament probably will not name its final entry until the eve of the opening round. New York university, Manhattan and St. John's of Brooklyn were listed as contenders for the spot
In the only action along the tournament front yesterday, Villanova was named to fill the fourth and final berth in the Eastern regionales of the N.C.A.A. Merry-go-round. The Wildcats from Philadelphia have a record of 22 victories in 25 games.
Wyoming was the only team certain of a bid to the western regionals after clinching the Skyline Six conference championship. Special playoffs are being planned before the other three berths are filled.
Oregon State and U.C.L.A. start a best-of-three series Friday night to decide the Pacific Coast standard-bearer, while Oklahoma A. & M must meet either Oklahoma or Nebraska before claiming the other berth.
Martin would be $1,000,000 and for
Lanier $1.500,000.
In their complaints the players charged they turned to offers from the Mexican league after getting "shabby treatment" in the way of pay from the Cardinals and because, under baseball rules, the only club they could dicker with was the Cardinals.
