It passed and sent to the Senale a bill designed to clarify the antitrust status pf the big four sports by giving club owners unqualified permission to con- inue present practices. Only strictly business practices ike concessions, ticket sales and operation or sale of stadia would be subject to antitrust law restric- ions against ac- ivities. The House shouted aproval, without a recorded vote, of a bill Rep. Francis E.

Walter (Da) to exempt the player reserve draft, club territorial ights, of TV and radio iroadcasts and designalion of ports commissioners to supervise he sports. The Walter bill was substituted or a measure by Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-NY), approved by the Judiciary Committee, which would lave limited antitrust exemptions 10 practices' deemed "reasonably necessary" to continuation of the spo rts The House rejected the "reasonably necessary" qualification which foes contended laid the sports open to involved court litigation. The House action was a victory for club owners, who had opposed the Celler bill and announced themselves in favor of freedom from antitrust restrictions where the games were concerned. Before aproving the Walter bill, the House shouted down a substitute by Rep.

Albert W. Cretella (R-Conn) which would have abolished baseball's a "farm" system and sharply re stricted telecasting of games into minor league territory. As passed by the House the bill would exempt contracts, agree ments, rules or any course of con duct applying to organized profes sional baseball, hockey, basketbal and football as it applies to: 1. Equalization of competitive playing strengths. 2.

The employment, selection, or eligibility of players, or the reservation, selection or assignment of player contracts. 3. The right lo operate within specific geographic areas. 4. The regulation of rights to broadcast and telecast reports and pictures of sports contests.

5. The preservation of public onfidence in the honesty in sports ontests. The bill specifically states, how- ver, that nothing in the proposed xemptions shall be construed to eprive players of their right to argain collectively or engage in ther associated activities for their mutual aid and protection. The legislation stemmed, from ecisions of the Supreme Court olding that organized baseball fas exempt from antitrust pro- ibitions on monopolistic or retraining practices, but that other rofessional team sports were not xempt.
