AL Chief Seeks Prompt Action On Anti-Trust Suit on Majors
Chicago, William Harridge, president of the American League, urged a quick dismissal or trial of a 12 million dollar anti trust suit against 13 major league teams. Liberty Broadcasting System, now bankrupt, filed the suit in Dallas three years ago, naming all teams except Brooklyn, Cincinnati, and the White Sox. The action claims a conspiracy to monopolize broadcasting of play by play. Settlement talks emerged for 200000, awaiting bankruptcy court approval. The case dates to 1952 with trial repeatedly postponed. Liberty argues losses stem from league refusals to permit telegraphic game reports.
