Four Yankees Are Named On All-Star Team NEW YOHK, UP ~ Four Yankees -were named today on the annual United Press American League All-Star team but top honor® went to Cleveland’s slugging third baseman, Al Rosen, the only unanimous choice. That 1953 was a year for new stars was emphasized in the fact that there were only three holdovers from last year's team, Rosen Yb<gt Berm and MicW Mantle of the Yankees. Rosen received every vote of the special 24-man committee of the Baseball Writers of America while-catcher Berra and first basemanl Mickey Vernon of Washington, the league batting champion, were named on all but one ballot. The other Yankees to be selected were» Hank Bauer and Billy\ Martin? Washington with Vernori and pitcher Bob Porterfield and Chicago with outfielder Minnie Minoso and pitcher Billy Pierce, were.the only other teams to place more than one man on the honor squad. The other players selected were rookie shortstop Harvey Kuenn of Detroit and Rosen, who was the lone Cleveland representative. Rosen, praised by Yankee Manager Casey .Stengel as “the best in the league," demonstrated that he is a heavy favorite tq win the most \ valuable player avrard by “sweeping the tickets # He did it with an impressive set of statistics. Vernon beat him out of the batting championship by one point, .337 to .336, but Rosen had it everywhere else, in homers with 43, in runs batted in with 145, and in runs scored with 109. Moreover, he improved considerably afield. Vernoii, who won the\ batting championship in 1946, made a fine comeback smacking 15 homers, leading the league in doubles with 24, and driving in 116 runs. Berra, after a slow start when ■he was weakened by chronic colitis. was the hottest Yankee hitter in the stretch, and as usual outclassed the other catchers behind the bat. He w-ound up wih a .298 average, 27 homers, and 108 runs batted in. Second baseman > Billy Martin, the Yankee World Series hero, collected 12 votes to win the berth\ •from Billy Goodman of Boston, who had nine. The marching years finally removed little Phil Rizzuto from the honor squad and a kid with a great future, young Kuenn, took over. He received 12 votes. \ Minoso set the pace in the out-

High Court Studies Basebail Question Controversy Hinges On Reserve Clause W’ASHFNOTON UP — The xn preme court scheduled arguments today on whether organized baseball Is still a sport oi whether it has become a business —subject to the autl-trust laws. The justices are examining complaints by two ball players and a minor league club oWher. The three are seeking damages they .claim they suffered under the present rules of the game. An hour’s time has been allotted to each tbse. The arguments will car y over into Wednesday. Lower courts have dismissed the cases without trial on the basis of an opinion rendered 30 years ago by Justice Oliver Wrndell Holmes. The supreme court found then that baseball was merely a sport—outside the scope of the anti-trust laws. If the present bench reverse the Holmes decision, the. cases could go to trial to determine whether there actually have been violations and if so what damages the complainants have suffered. The controversy centers around the “reserve clause” which is inserted in every contract "between a placer and a club owner. This uni 4 ersally accepted ?lause permanently “reserves” a man’s pleyivg rights to the team that owns his contract. He may thgn be sold or transferred anywhere fnth e country at the owner’s whi,n. The player cannot bargain as a “fry agent” until the owner gives him permission—a situation which seldom occurs if the player has any trading value. The so-called “farm system,” »n---def which big league clubs train young players, is an important factor in the test cases. Under tbe system a big league club owns severHyniinpr league vlubs. Players maypromoteb thaough ttye minor, leagues to a majefr* team. But his moves are always .Controlled by the big league owner Professional fOotba’n, basketball and hockey operate m a similar manner. . Opponents of the system claim players shouid be able to sell their services at the end of the season to the highest bidder. Baseball officials argue that professional baseball would disintegrate completely Jdbr«*triotiohß_wer& way. ’ The complainants In the test cases maintain that changed circumstances such as radio and TV coast-to-coast broadcasts, interstate
