The decision Of the Columbia
Broadcasting System to tele-
cast a Sunday major league
game-of-the-week next season
brought bitter comment today
from baseball officials.
ITS a bad thing for baseball
and I'm sorry some of our clubs
are going in for It," Commits
sioner Ford Prick said. "I'm
hoping that Congress will pro-
vide legislation that will take
us out OF the hands OF the
Justice Department and give us
the right TO regulate such
telecasts."
Frank Shaughnessey, IA
year-0ld chairman OF the minor
leagues committee to block the
telecasts, blasted the CHS plan
TO blackout areas where minor
league teams are playing home
games as lust a cover"
They know as we'll as we do
that the blackout can cover
only a certain area" he said
He also maintained that the
network has disregarded a
congressional order in making
It's plans. Shauehffessy said
CHS had been warned" by a
House committee on monopo-
lies not TO proceed with Its
plans until hearings on the
matter are completed.
They've gone ahead despite
the order and now we'll Just
have to wait and see what the
committee has to say about 1t, /"

is the preservation of Columbia

He added that the minors
