The perfect golf match-well

It happened the other day at
one of the country clubs here.
The match was another in a
series between two season-long
rivals, and inasmuch as the golf
year is drawing to a close, the
stakes were raised for the occa-
sion.
One player is a member Of the
board of governors OF one OF

another hospital. One player
wagered $25 that he would equal
or better his average score. which

Baseball Elite on Witness List
AS Inquiry Resumes Monday

The congressional baseball in
Ivestigation will combine glamor
with hard facts when the House
Monopoly subcommittee picks up
its antitrust study of the game
next Monday.
On the glamor side will be such
witnesses as Joe DiMaggio and
Phil Rizzuto of the Yankees,
Freddy Hutchinson of the Tigers
and Peewee Reese of the Dodgers.
For hard facts. the subcommit-
tee will call series of witnesses
on what it costs to run major and
minor league clubs and. specifi-
cally. how much money is involved
in developing a ball player.
Figures Prepared.
Earl Nelson, controller and vice
president of the Cubs. and G. j.
Lanier. controller of the Yankees,
have prepared a set of figures at
the subcommittee's request on the
actual cost Of bringing a baseball
player up to the big leagues.
Subcommittee aides said they
also have accumulated a mass of
financial data which will be SHOW
eled into the two-week hearings.
In its post World Series investi-
cation, the subcommittee is focus
ing on two angles-the reserve
clause" which ties player to the
club that first signs him. and the
territorial franchise rights by
which organized baseball preserves
the status quo.
In the earlier hearings, recessed
until after the baseball season,
the management end Of baseball
argued that owners had too big
"a financial stake in their players
to let them be free agents.
Final Huddle Planned.
What actually comes out of
these hearings will depend largely
on a final executive session at
which Justice Department officials
and lawyers for organized base
ball will go into a huddle with the
subcommittee.
The likely result will be a COM
promise bill protecting the "re-
serve clause" by eliminating some
of the strings attached to it.
