BURKE Washington U.R) After 10 months of investigation, Con gress has decided to leave base ball alone. The House Monopoly sub-committee, making its formal report, was unanimous in its decision to reject any legislation which would make baseball exempt from the federal anti-trust laws. The key to the probe was the reserve clause. This part of a player's contract ties him to one club for life, unless the club it self decides to sell him. The sub-committee decided that "some form" of a reserve clause is necessary to keep baseball operating "profitably." But its 232-page report said baseball "should work out its own solu tions to the problems confronting it." The only thing concrete to come out of the hearing was a suggestion that big league ball should extend west of the Mis sissippi River. This was contained in a sepa rate statement by Rep. Emanuel Cellar (D.-N.Y.), chairman of the investigating group. He pointed out that the third largest city in the U. S., Los Angeles, does not have major league baseball while the 15th largest city, Cin cinnati, does. The committee report saw two sides to everything. For exam ple, the report said baseball's operating rules "would be en tirely inappropriate in an or dintry industry." Then it added "baseball is a unique industry" in which co-operation between the clubs is needed "to the maintenance of honest and vigor ous competition on the playing field."
