York Appeals Court after low

The Appeals Court directed a
prompt trial of Gardella's suit,
but before the trial could be
held, Gardella reached an agree
ment with the baseball people
and returned to the major
leagues. there to remain briefly.
In its action yesterday, the
Supreme Court acted on three
separate appeals, all from ver-
diets in the lower courts which
relied on the 1922 decision. Ap-
pealing were George ToolSon and
Walter KowalSki, former minor
league players, and the Ell Paso,
(TeXD team and Jack Corbett,
representing the Texas club.
All three suits asked the courts
to find organized baseball in
violation of the antitrust laws.

for Kowalski and Corbett, said

tee examined the reserve clause
at some length last year in an
effort to decide whether Con-

specific conclusion.
Ford Frick, baseball's COM
missioner, told that subcommit-

Reserve Clause
CONTINUED From Page CID

year, put it this way after learn
ing of the courts action:
LAS organized baseball is now
constituted, the reserve clause is
the keystone in the arch. If that
clause falls, the arch falls"
He predicted that if the court
decides Baseball is a business in
interstate commerce. the reserve
clause will be found illegal. Many
baseball men have conceded this
point in the past.
If the court comes up with that
ruling, Celler said, Congress un-
doubtedly will be asked to pass
a special law exempting baseball
from the antitrust laws. He
added:
Congress may we'll see its way
clear to continue the reserve
clause. but only on condition
that baseball clean house-Set
up new leagues, safeguard the
interests of players and the
like"
Ruling Made in 1922.
Back in 1922, the Supreme
Court agreed with organized
baseball, throwing out a suit
which contended the game vio-
lated the antitrust laws.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
said at that time:
Playing baseball, whether for
money or not. is striking in
stance of human skill eXterted
for its own sake and with no
relation to production. In the
case of an exhibition of athletic
skill, as in the case of dramatic
performance, the OnlookerS de-
rive nothing but enjoyment"
This position was challenged
in 1948 by the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals in New
York, which heard an appeal in
the Danny Gardella case. The
Appears court SAID:
Defendants suggest that or
ganized baseball which supplies
millions of Americans with deSir-
able diversion. will be unable to
exist without the reserve clause.
Whether that is true, no court
can predict. In any event. the
answer is that the public S
pleasure does not authorize the
courts to condone illegality, and
that no court should strive in
geniouSly to legalize a private
(even if benevolenD dictator

Third street in the north end of
town.
The latter is one Of the largest
residences to be built in recent
years, and when completed will be
80 feet wide by 40 feet in length.
The foundation Of the Ryan home
was completed last year and has
been used since then as living
quarters. The same procedure was
followed by Eugene Johnson, who
recently completed his home on
Pennington street.
A number of new houses have
been erected recently i'm the north
etn part Of town following the re-
location of Route 2l9. Among them
are those Of J. S. Cooper, Earl
Roth, Mrs. Aza c. Stanton and two
built by Edgar 7. Hardesty and
now rented. Other construction is
planned in this section.
Arthur Lawton, clerk-collector,
estimates that between 40 and 80
new homes have been built in Oak
land proper during the past six or
seven years. This is particularly
noticeable on Pennington street,
which has been extended and i'm
proved to connect with the Country
club road. Residences have been
built there by Maurice Brookhart,
Edward Smouse, c. A. Williams
and Gertrude Aronhalt.
High street has developed into
an attractive residential area in re-
cent years with the building of
homes by Irwin Field, Earl Zepp and
Walter f. Dawson, the latter
property now being owned by John
II. Wolf. The Earl Zepp property
is owned by DR.. Joseph Alvarez,
while the Zepps have constructed
a new home on the old site of the
Bush house ON Crook Crest
As building has increased, the
demand for apartment space isn't
quite so futile. Persons who con-
verified large homes into apartments
several years ago, when the hous-
ing situation was more critical, re-
port difficulty in keeping their
properties rented. Today, small
apartments can usually be secured.
While building costs have lcveled
off, most home owners have found
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1953-09-17

actual expenses to be greater than
anticipated. One home owner,
whose house is nearing completion,
reported more than $4,000 spent
on a dwelling which was estimated
to cost no more than $4,000.
In the commercial construction
the motel Of Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer
Graham, north of town, built last
year with nine units, has added a
wing Of like size. Several private
garages have been built, and the
Oakland Equipment Company is
planning an addition to its garage
on Third street.
Browning's, Inc, has under CON
struction an addition to its store
on Third street which will add one
third TO one-half to the floor space.
The new structure will house a
hardware department on the first
floor, and a furniture section above.
Cheston H. Browning said this
week it is hoped to have the new
departments open by November /,
the tenth anniversary of the found
ing of the firm.
Also nearing completion is the
gymnasium at Southern High
school. An agriculture building at
the school has already been finished
and is in use.
Still in the future is am addition
to the National Guard armory ON
High street According to Capt.
Arthur c. Calhoun, commanding
officer of the unit, construction is
expected to start within the next
few weeks.
An addition to the Garrett
County Memorial hospital is also
planned, which will increase the
capacity Of that institution from
"a to 80 beds. II is planned to seek
bids vet this year.
