|Prober Warns Majors To Expand the Game

By United Press et WASHINGTON, Aug. 2—A Congressional baseball in- - |vestigator warned the major have to be more “enthusiastic” about taking on new teams if they don't want to be branded a monopoly.

Rep. Patrick J. Hillings (R. Cal.) admitted that major league magnates have made a good case for the controversial reserve clause before the House Monopoly

the subcommittee will consider other baseball practices, such as limitation of territorial rights and restriction of big league expansion, before deciding whether to exempt baseball from the antitrust laws. “If we fail to interest the major leagues in expanding the game, if they don’t show a desire to co-| operate,” Hillings said, “the com-| mittee may conclude that: they are engaging in tight control.” Not Enthusiastic Hillings, who wants big-time baseball on the West Coast, told a reporter that the major league magnates who thus far have testified before the subcommittee “are apparently not very enthusiastic about opening up the majors to many new teams.”

until tomorrow, when Minor Leagues President George Trautman will continue his testimony. Trautman and National League President Ford Frick have argued that the reserve clause is vital to baseball to keep richer clubs from buying up all the talent. Needs Convincing Hillings said this was an effective argument, but added that the major league spokesmen also would have to convince him that “it wouldn't be to the best interests of baseball to encourage expansion” of the big leagues. Hillings said there was no reason why big league franchises could not be moved to the West Coast or elsewhere. Raising the whole Pacific Coast League to major status would not work, he said, because all eight cities could not support major league operations. His solution would be to add a few West Coast clubs to the two existing leagues as, he said, western fans and
