Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick warned Congress could threaten both major and minor leagues by attempting to strip antitrust immunity. He argued such action would destabilize the national game, harm football and boxing by extension, and invite lawsuits and chaos for players and clubs. Frick said baseball’s vast revenue under current law supports the sport's autonomy.

The American Association’s top five clubs remain tightly bunched after a slate of razor close games. Wichita’s Braves edged Omaha 3-1 as Joey Jay held Omaha to five singles, Dick Cole homered, and Bob Talbot doubled twice amid a one run win. Paul nipped Charleston 8-7 in 10 innings, Minneapolis beat Louisville 3-2 in 10, and Denver defeated Indianapolis 2-1, keeping the leaders within five games.
