Knicks, Caps Will End Series Tonight Washington. April 2 — (UP)— With the National Guard armory lighting system suited to their demands. the New York Knickerbockers will meet the Washington Capitols tonight in the third and deciding game of the Basketball Association of America's eastern division semi-final playoffs. The New Yorkers, who at first refused to play ‘n the armory be- ‘ cause of the poor lighting system, | changed their minds yesterday , when they were assured that the I lighting would be increased to suit I them. The winner of tonight’s game will meet Minneapolis .for the BAA championship. The first two games of the .best four-of-seven series will be played at Minneapolis on Monday and Wednesday, the next two at New York or Washington next Friday and Saturday, and the remainder, if needed, will be announced later. Meyer Asserts Pittsburgh Is ■ Much Improved New York, April 2—(UP)— The Pittsburgh Piratls surprised the baseball world last year when they finished fourth, only eight and a half games behind the National league pennant winning Boston Braves. And their sophomore manager. Billy Meyer, maintains that his 1949 club has been Improved "25 percent." "We could win it in 1949,” Meyer said during the winter, "if we can come up with another starting pitcher." The next day the Pirates purchased Murray Dickson from the Cardinals. So alt added up, it means that Billy thinks he has what it takes. Not too many baseball men will agree with him. for they doubt whether he can get any more mileage out of his collection of old timers and youngsters this year than he did last. After all there has been another year of wear and tear on such veterans as Rip Sewell. Dixie Walker. Johnny Hopp and the other old timers. The Pirates, per man. are by far the oldest team in the league, and in the dog days of August players getting along in years often drop off sharply. But if they can hold their pace another year, the Pirates could well measure up to Meyer’s estimation of them. t His club is pretty well set with! Dickson, Bob Chesnes, Vic Lombardi, Elmer Riddle and either Cliff Chambers or rookie Bill Werle as his starting pitchers. That leaves Sewell and Ernie Bonham for spot work and Kirby Higbe., Hugh Casey and either Bob Muncriff or rookie Chet Johnson for relief. Two spots in the infield are open with Les Fleming and Eddie Stevens, who held down the post last year, battling for the first base job. Two other players. Pete Castiglione, the better hitter, and Eddie Bockman. a more polished fielder, are fighting on even terms for the third base post left vacant when Frank Gustine was traded to the Cubs. Stan Rojek. a star in the making, and Danny Murtaugh are set at short and second respectively In the outfield, home run hitting Ralph Kiner will be in left with Wally Westlake in right. Right now it looks like Walt Judnich, obtained from the Indians, will start in center, leaving Walker and Hopp as the handy men and pinch hitters. A rookie. Ted Beard, who hit .301 with Indianapolis last year, also is in the running. I ■ . Trade fa a Good Tens —- Deeatwr Big Savings ‘Wo CARRY - OUT Beer Prices

Injunction Denied I Lanier And Martin New York, April 2 — (UP) — j Denied an injunction which would I re-instate them immediately to I their old jobs in organized baseball. , Max Lanier and Fred Martin, for- . mer St. Louis Cardinals pitchers, I today prepared to take their case . to the circuit court of appeals on Monday. Federal judge Edward A. Con- , ger ruled yesterday that he could not order the sought-for injunction against organized baseball before it was determined whether the players’ five-year suspension for' jumping to the Mexican league in 1946 were unjust of illegal. Lanier and Martin, charging that their supensions deprived them of a livelihood, had asked for the injunction so that they might return to the game pending the outcome |of their 32,560,000 damage suit against organized basehall, which is scheduled to begin April 2S. ; -Attorney John L. Flynn, representing the players, said, "1 have I no dispute at all with judge Con-, | ger’s decision and I appreciate the ! speed with which he has handled . our request. But 1 shall certainly: ! appeal his decision.” In issuing his ruling, judge Cont ger pointed out in a 15-page opinion that the issues involved were . so complex that a trial — and not t merely, one judge's verdict — must j ■, decide the cases. Judge Conger e said that questions of both fact and I law must be decided. e The principal factual point to be e decided, judge Conger pointed out, e was t/ie claim of Lanier and Martin that commissioner A. B. Chandler had exerted unofficial "presE sure” on independent teams to h prevent them from playing semipro ball after they had been barrII i, iii---v y aiHWjy.- ' — • ■

ed from organized baseball. This charge has been denied by the leaders of organized baseball. In the category of legality, judge Conger cited the players’ argument that baseball is interstate commerce and as such is subject to the federal anti-trust laws. This point must be decided by a trial, the judge said.
