IHSAASued For Declaring Two Ineligible SEYMOUR, Ind. (UPI) -A suit against the Indiana High School Athletic Association charging "dictatorial power” in connection with the inelegibilty of two Seymour high school basketball pros- ' pects from Illinois was on file today. The suit, filed in Jackson Circuit Court at nearby Brownstown Tuesday, in effect prevents the IHSAA at least temporarily from enforcing its restrictions against Seymour. Circuit Judge John M. Lewis a temporary injunction ’which prohibits the athletic group from declaring. the two Negro athletes ineligible and from placing Seymour on probation until Oct. 1, 1959. i A hearing on a permanent injunction was scheduled for Feb. 11. IHSAA commissioner L. V. Phillips declined comment in Indianapolis on the court order until he has seen it. Attorneys for Billie Joe and Frank Stevenson filed the injunction after th eIHSAA declared the boys ineligible for Seymour, athletics. The IHSAA Board of Control took the action last October and implied that its investigation uncovered indications of "undue influence” to persuade the Stevenson fafnily”to move to Seymour from Joppa, 111., last August. The IHSAA held two hearings after Joppa high school officials protested to both the Illinois High School Athletic Assn, and the Indiana group. The suit alleged that the IHSAA, its officers and Board of Control “attempts to and doeS exercise and usurp arbitrary, capricious and dictatorial powers and authority over the member high —schools of the State of Indiana.” Cleveland Indians Sign All Players United Press Internatfotui Ryank Lane achieved annua) goal of being “firstest with tire mostest” today with the announcement that the Cleveland Indians have signed all their players for the 1959 season. The Indians achieved that status Tuesday when infielders Woody Held and Bill Harrell and pitchers Bill Dailey and Hat Woodeshick returned their contracts. Lane/who always made it a point to sigh his entire roster first when .he led the Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Cardinals, said this is the earliest date on which he ever accomplished the job. Harrell hit .214 in 101 games last season while Held hit only .194 in 67 games after the Indians acquired him from Kansas City. Woodeshick had a 6-6 rating for Cleveland and Dailey was 7-7 for San Diego in the Pacific Coast League. On other fronts: The White Sox added three players—pitcher Dick Donovan and infielders Bubba Phillips and Don Prohovich. Donovan had a 15-14 record last season and Phillips hit .273 in 84 games for the White Sox while Prohobich hit .298 and knocked in 98 runs for Colorado Springs. ' . The San Francisco Giants added pitchers Paul Giel, Dom zanni and Frank Funk plus infielder Jose Pagan to their satisfied list. Giel, the only player who was with the Giants all last season, had a 4-5 record. We Will Do Our Best To Give The THINKING Man’s Wife a Rest!
