WASHINGTON, July 28—Organized baseball comes to bat Monday to defend its controversial ‘reserve clause” before the House monopoly investigation subcommittee. |
Ty Cobb, the famous “Georgia Peach” and one of the
greatest players of all time, is|
leadoff man in the witness lineup. He will be followed by National League President Ford Frick. Cobb now lives in retirement in Menlo Park, Cal, * The subcommittee, under Chairman Emanuel Celler, (D. N. Y.),
