initial Pleas Heard in D5. BasebalLBatlle

WASHINGTON, (AP) - The United states supreme Court Tues- day heard initial pleas in an his- toric battle over the question of whetiher organized baseball violates the country's anti-trust Jaws.

Attorneys for former minor les- gue players asked the court to outlaw the much-disputed "reserve clause". the keystone of modern high finance baseball.

Defence attorneys relied heavily on s 1922 Supreme Court. ruling that baseball is sport, not business, and does not fall under the anti- trust laws.

The hearing will continue today.

Lawyers, seeking to brand base- ball as an illegal monopoly in re- straint of trade, based their argu- ments on those main contentions:

1. Baseball is a commercial en- terprlse and thus is subject to anti- Lrust laws.

2. It is heavily tied up with n- dio and television and is actively in the field of advertising.

it. Baseball exercises an illegal monopoly over the activities of its players and teams as well as its physical planks and exhibitions.

1922 Ruling

Howard C. Parke of Santa Bar- bara, Calif., representing the ball- players, said tht in his opinion the 1922 ruling should be overthrown. He sold baseball, with its tie-ins with radio and TV, is a. far dif- ferent. activity than it was back in 1922.

Norman 5. Steiry or Los Angeles representing baseball, argued that the anti-trust question was not In- volved ln the appeals now before the supreme Court. He said these appeals are based exclusively on the question of the legality of player contracts, particularly the reserve clause.

The controversial clause is writ- ten into all baseball contracts and puts a player under the absolute control of the club which owns his contract. The club may sell his services as it sees fit or keep him under its control, but the player may not. make any deals of his own with other clubs.

Sterry told the court that the regulation of baseball was not its business. He suggested that Con- gress write laws spelling out just what baseball may or may not do.
