NFL May be Declared MonopolySaysAttorney Maglie Signs; Receives Raise From Brooklyn By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sal Maglie and Mel Parnell, a couple of old pros topped the list of baseball signings yesterday as major league clubs padded their contract files for the 1957 season. Maglie, who will be 40 on April 2G, agreed to a $30,000 contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. That’s reportedly a $4,000 hike Over last season and makes up for the pay cut he took at Cleveland a year ago. It was Sal, who didn’t win a game until June 4 but finished with a 13-5 record, who prac tically pitched the Dodgers into the National League champion ship all by himself. During the stretch run, Maglie was a men ace—pitching his first no-hitter in the final week, against Phil adelphia, and closing with a 1.86 earned run average during Au gust and September. The Brooks now have 23 play ers under contract. Parnell, a 34-year-old sputhpaw who also gained a no-hitter in 1956 vs. the Chicago White Sox, joined young outfielder Marty Keough in returning signed contracts to the Boston Red Sox FRIDAY SENSATIONAL! Supreme Court May Want Anti-trust Violation Trial By WHITNEY SHOEMAKER WASHINGTON, (iP) — A pro football attorney said Thursday the National Football League “may very well be destroyed” if the Supreme Court orders trial of a suit charg ing the league with anti-trust law violations. Bernard I. Nordlinger, Washington lawyer, told the high court, “harassment and utter chaos” might result. NFL attorneys fought an appeal by William Radovich, a former University of Southern California and pro guard, whose bid for $105,000 damages from the league and some of its clubs was dismissed in lower federal courts. Radovich contended he was blacklisted for jumping from the Detroit Lions of the NFL to the Los Angeles Dons of the now folded All-America Con ference in 1946. He charged the NFL seeks to monopolize the professional grid sport. Maxwell Keith, his San Fran cisco attorney, asked the Supreme Court to order a trial on merits of the complaint. District and circuit courts at San Francisco tossed out the suit, saying football was a team sport like baseball and thus entitled to exemption from the anti-trust laws. The Supreme Court has held baseball is not a business of in ter-state character, which would be subject to the Sherman Anti trust Act. But it also has ruled professional boxing and legitimate theater bookings do fall within the scope of anti-monopoly laws. The government joined Rado vich in his appeal to argue that pro football is covered, that Rado vich clearly charged violations and that the case should go to trial. Marshall E. Leahy of San Fran cisco, another NFL attorney, said football claims no general exemp tion from such legislation. Nor, he added, does football believe baseball has such an exemption. But Leahy contended none of the offenses charged by Radovich are forbidden by anti-trust laws. For support, he cited two Supreme Court rulings on baseball. Radovich, now operating a retail grocery store in North Hollywood, had attacked the NFL’s “reserve” clause and what he described as a blacklist. The reserve clause binds a player to a club, which contains the right to trade him.
