at 8:45. This is the last week of
regular competition in the Basket
Ball Association of America for
the Caps, who play at Philadel-
phia Thursday night and bring
down the curtain here against

The playoffs will get under way
next week with the Caps battling
in all probability either Baltimore
or Philadelphia in the first round
two out-of three series. The Caps
meet the fourth-place team and
right now Philadelphia is in fourth
only one-half a game behind the
Bullets. Boston practically is out
of it, clinging to only a bare
mathematical chance of tying
Philadelphia.
In the Western Division Roch-
ester and Minneapolis still are
fighting for the No. l spot. Roch-
ester leads the Lakers by two
games and each has four to play.
Chicago has third place wrapped
up and st. Louis is entrenched
solidly in fourth.
The Caps-Lakers game Wednes-
day will be the rubber test, for the
two clubs have split even in four
games. But if the Caps want to
gain the edge. they'll have to take
the edge off Mikan, the 6-foot

Reinstatement
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 14.-Legal
fireworks start popping today in
moves to break down organized
baseball's reserve clause.
Frederic A. Johnson. attorney
for Danny Gardella, said he would
seek a Federal court writ today
restoring the former New York
Giants outflelder to active play
until his 100000 suit against the
game is settled.
Tomorrow two other major
league players suspended for
jumping to the Mexican League
Max Lanier and Fred Martin, both
forcer st. LOUIS Cardinal pitchers
will seek reinstatement pending
settlement of their damage suits
amounting to $2,500.000
Officers of the game have been
directed to show cause tomorrow
why bans on Lanier and Martin
shouldn't be lifted Immediately
and why the players shouldn't be
permitted to dicker on contracts
not containing the reserve clause.
It's the reserve clause, that part
of every baseball contract which
binds a player to one team until
that team is ready to dispose Of
him, that is under fire in these
separate suits.
Yet to Hear From Reds.
The banished players charge
that baseball is a monopoly func-
tioning in violation of the anti
trust laws. They contend their
suspensions have prevented them
from earning a livelihood.
Defendants in the $4,000 900
suit filed by Lanier and Martin
are A. B. Chandler, commissioner
of baseball; Ford C. Frick, presi-
dent of the National League; Will
Harridge, president of the Ameri-
can League; George Trautmar1.
president of the National Associa-
ton (minors) ana the 16 major
league clubs.
John J. Flynn, New York attor-
ney for the former Cardinal play
ers. said papers on the show
cause order had been served on all
the baseball executives and Is OF
the 16 clubs. He said he hadn't
heard from Cincinnati.
Papers were supposed to be
served on Cincinnati but. that's
one club I haven't heard from,
the attorney said.
Players Polled on Issue.
While baseball is girding for
defense of it's legal backbone.
players throughout the National
League are being polled on their
opinion of the controversial con-
tract matter.
This is being done through
player representatives. who are
authorized spokesmen for the
baseball men in dealings with
management.
In st. petersburg, ria, marty
Marion. st, Louis Cardinal player
representative, said most Of the
Cardinals were in favor Of the
reserve clause as the only Esy
baseball can operate" -
But Marion said the Cardinals
also had suggested that three
man neutral committee be set up
to settle salary disputes. This rec
ommendation, he said. was being
sent to Dixie Walker of Pitts
burgh. National League player
representative.
The Pirates voted unanimously
