Posing the question, Where
do we go from here?" Miss
Mabel r. Cook, executive direc-
tor of the YWCA yesterday en-
phasized the need for more
funds to carry on work of the
group.
Speaking at the annual lunch
con meeting of the YWCA in the
Mayflower Hotel, Miss Cook
noted the tidal wave" of young
children in the community who
need the services of the organ
ization and of others who seek
help and guidance from the
association.
She pointed out the group had
"a $4,000 deficit for 1855 and
called it a serious situation for
the board to face"
1--WE have been closing each
year with an operating deficit, u
she said, land now we are
puzzled at the crossroads at the
51st year. What is the next
step? Which way do we go?"

The defendant testified he had

fore the court for being behind
in support payments, said he hao

A woman who charged a man
she said she had seen only once
six years ago with being the
father of her son lost her case
yesterday in Juvenile Court.
Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill dismissed the complaint,
saying it was not shown beyond
d reasonable doubt that the man
was the father.
This taught me lesson the
37-year-old mother remarked
after the decision.
At Church Supper
The woman said she met the
man in November, 1949, at a
church social supper and had not
seen him since. The defendant
testified he had danced with her,
but that's all.
Both the man and the woman
are colored.

$50 far as that decision deter
mines that Congress had no in
Itention Of including the business
lof baseball within the scope OF
the Federal antitrust laws. =
Moreover. as the dissenting
opinion pointed out, Congress
never expressly exempted base
ball from the Sherman Act and
the Court in 1922 ''acted on its
determination that the activi-
ties before it did not amount to
interstate commerce" In the
view of the diSSenters, of course,
that situation no longer applies
to baseball.
In several later instances the
Supreme Court has itself COM
mented on the Toolson case in a
way which appears to mark it as
"a possible future target.
1t has said. for example. that
the ToolSon decision was "a
narrow application of the rule
of stare decisis," lie. it was de-
cided solely on the basis Of up
holding precedent. And when it
made the boxing profession sub
ject to antitrust laws, the Court
noted that if it were not for the
baseball situation the Govern

on grounds that it is a sport and
not a business, any apparent dis
position to move franchises
around the country just for
profit is something that might
later boomerang in court.
Reserve Clause
It could be very significant
for baseball that the Supreme
Court granted certiorari in
R1doUich D. National Football
League. This case is of critical
Importance since it means that
the reserve clause" principle
will get a thorough inspection
from the highest court in the
land, an inspection never made
in regard to baseball.
The Court agreed to take the
RGdoUich case in spite of the
fact that it was dismissed by a
Federal district court in Cali
fornia and that the dismissal
was upheld by the 9th Circuit
Court of Appeals at least partly
on the grounds that pro foot
ball was a team sport" and thus
in the same category as baseball.
Moreover, the Justice Depart
ment filed an amicus curiae brief
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-17

IbasebaIl's antitrust status. And
Those circumstances could be
comprised Of ID a Supreme
Court decision bringing team
sport" like pro football under
the Sherman Act, plus ~ the
shift Of some major league
franchise. such as that being
considered by the Washington
ball club. where the move seems
dictated primarily for the flnan-
Icial benefit Of the stockholders.
When the Boston Braves
moved to Milwaukee, the Phila-
Idelphia Athletics to Kansas City
and the st. Louis Browns to
Baltimore. this was done to pre-
serve the sport" itself. That is,
competition was rough since
each city at the time had two
major league teams. Each
franchise shifted had been losing
money, and quite a lot Of it. for
years.
The Washington club. although
far from showing handsome re-
turns, has not been losing money
and has no cross-town major
league rival.
Since baseball has urged its
antitrust-exempt status largely

BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

The projected shift of the
Washington Senators to another
city at a time when the ball club
is still making money may be
reopening a Pandora's box of
antitrust troubles for organized
baseball.
Baseball management which.
by and large. shudders at the
mere contemplation Of another
legal go-round over its crucial
reserve clause" practice, con-
eiders the matter settled on the
basis Of the United States SUI
preme Courts 1853 decision in
Toolson .. New York Yankees.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-17

in that case, Justices Reed anc
Burton, are still around. But
several Of the men who helped
take baseball on the hook at thai
time Justices jackson and Min
toni are no longer on the court.
If the new circumstances men,
toned develop. other Justices
might reconsider.
A recheck of what actually
happened in the ToolSon case,
together with consideration OF
other similar cases since then
further suggest that the anti
trust ground under baseball may
be tenuous.
TOOlsoB Decision
In the ToolSon decision the
Court simply said that since
baseball had been left for 80
years to develop on the UNDER
standing that it was not subject
to existing antitrust legislation. "
the Court was not prepared to
overturn the 1852 ruling in the
absence Of amending legislation.
The decision was made, how
ever, without re-examination
of the underlying issues" and
the 1922 case was upheld only
