Radio and TeIevision
Called Key 10 Probe
OF Baseball Trust
By Miriom Ottenbero

A member of the House Mo-
nopoly Subcommittee investigat-
ing baseball said today the probers
will have to dig deep into the
radio and television angles of the
game before it can decide whether
baseball comes under antitrust
laws.
Representative McCulloch, Re-
publican, of Ohio said a weeks
hearings on the structure of Or
ganized baseball has failed tc
cast much light on whether base
ball is either interstate or COM
merce. An industry must be ir
interstate commerce to be subject
to antitrust laws.
Mr.. McCulloch said he wants
to know a lot more about how
much radio and televising OF
games is being done. under what
agreements and how much is be-
ling spent on radio and television
rights.
"One of Keys" to Question.
He called radio and television
lone of the keys" to the whole
question of whether baseball
should continue to regulate itself
or, on the other hand, should be
exempted, through congressional
action. from antitrust laws.
The legislator pointed out that
when the Supreme Court con-
sidered baseball in 1922 and found
it was neither interstate or COM
merce. there was no radio or tele-
vision. He added, however, that
that's not the only new element.
Judicial thinking itself may have
changed since then, he said.
If the subcommittee doesn't
go into radio and television." he
said, well be left where we are
now"
Several Suits Pending.
The subcommittee staff has in
dlcated it may explore the anti
trust angles where the ball clubs
put restrictions on the amount of
oroadcaSting they will allow. The
Justice Department also has got
ten into that, and several suits
are pending against ball clubs.
Mr.. McCulloch's question, how
ever, does not center on these re-
strictions but on how radio and
|television may have contributed to
making an interstate industry out
'of the great American pastime.
The subcommittee is in recess
until Monday. when the featured
attraction will be A. B. CHappy)

only in making it interesting three
times by losing one-run decisions.
Six pitchers have take part in
beating the Mats here, with Joe
Dobson grabbing two decisions
and Holcombe, Harry Dorish, Lou
Kretlow, Marv Rotblatt and Saul
Rogovin snaring one win each.
MarrerO Seeks 11th Victory.
Marrero, soundly smacked by
the White Sox the last time he
faced them in a game eventually
won by the Mats in Chicago, will
try for his 18th win.
Rogovin was off to a shaky start
last night, but the White Sox
broke 3-3 tie with a two-run out
burst in the fifth inning and the
big right-hander required no more
help. He held the Mats to three
hits in the last six innings to grab
his seventh victory.
Hudson, meanwhile. went down
to his seventh defeat. He yielded
a run in the first inning when
Nelson Fox walked, Ed Stewart
doubled and Orestes Minoso
grounded out, but the Mats gave
him 81 edge in the second in
ming on Mickey Vernon's single. a
walk to Gene Verble and singles
oy Clyde kluttz and Hudson.
Fox singled, stole second and
scored on Minoso's single to lock
the game in the third. Again the
Mats staked Sid to a lead in the
same inning when Gil Coan sin
gled. stole second, took third after
Vernon flied out and scored on
Sam Mele's infield hit.
CarrasquePs Fly Scores Zarilla.
Chico Carrasquel's pop-fly single
TO left scored Al Zarilla from sec
ond base in the fourth inning to
tie the score at 3-3, and in the
NTH. Ed Stewart started another
White Sox uprising with the sec
ond OF his three extra base hits.
Ed ratified the right-f1eld fence
for a double and scored on an
other double by Minoso, who drove
across four runs during the eve
ming. That blow finished Hudson
but not the rally. Eddie Robin
son greeted Sandy Consuegra with
a single which scored Minoso.
Fox's single. Stewards triple
and Minoso's single shot Chicago
into a 7-3 lead in the sixth and
the Mats obtained their final run
IN the seventh when Verble sin
gled. Whisked to third on Kluttz's
double and scored when Irv Noren
batted for Consuegra and flied
deep to Zarilla. Noren was out
OF the starting lineup for the first
time this season with an upset
stomach and cold.
The White Sox were directed
by Doc Cramer in the absence of
Manager Paul Richards, who left
for Chicago yesterday upon re-
celving word of the death of his
6-year-old daughter Lou Redith.
She had been i'll for a year or
more with a heart condition and
kidney ailment. The Richards
have one other daughter, Paula.
Funeral services for Lou Redith

Young Mcdonald, sold to the

had plenty of support in his first
win. The Brownies knocked out
Rookie Bob Wiesler, Yankee lefty

Raschi's first game triumph was
made easy by a Yankee six-run
second Inning blast that fattened
their old teammate, Tommy

Bob Kennedy's double off Sam
Zoldak, an ex-mate, topped off
Cleveland's winning surge in the
eighth at Philadelphia. Mike
Garcia needed help from Early
Wynn in the eighth to nail down
his 14th win.
Ramsdell Strikes Out 10.
Brooklyn's power was checked
by Ramsdell who struck out 10 in
the three-hour and 44-minute
contest. The Dodgers seemed to
have won it in the 14th when Billy
Cox tripled home Roy Campanella.
But Cincinnati bounced back to
tie on Hank Edwards pinch dou-
BILE. Edwards went to third on a
wild pitch by loser Ralph Branca
and scored on Campanella's
passed ball.
Stan Musiars three-run triple
featured Cardinal seventh
inning squirt that produced all
five runs and knocked out loser
Sal Maglie. Harry Brecheen was
chased by Bobby Thomson's two
run homer when the Giants rallied
in the eighth and Rookie Dick
Bokelmann, up from Houston,
finished with a hitless job.
Pittsburgh's Bill Werle wasted
525 innings of hitless relief work
after the Phillies blasted Vern
Law for 10 hits and all their runs.
1t was the Phils' sixth straight
win at Forbes Field, giving them
a 1913 record against the Pirates.
Minner scored the tie breaking
