gooRight to Grow BeardsThe United States courts are going in for beards this season but in a judicial way rather than for personal adornment. A district court has decided that anybody’s baseball team can wear beards if they can raise them but that only one bearded nine cancall itself the “House of David Ball C lub .For a number of years the “House of David nine has beena good box office attraction wherever it has signed up games. In some sections of the country it introduced night ball, carrying its own floodlight equipment. Imitators were inevitable.One smart promoter or his smart lawyer conceived the idea that because the famous bearded nine does not recruit all its players from the religious community at Benton Harbor, Mich., it holdsno monopoly of the name “House of David”.Fortunate indeed is it that the court had presence ot mind enough to reaffirm the legal principle that the right to grow a l^ard is inalienable even among baseball players. In the case just decided the court might have slipped into the error of leaving that imi ortant point of law undecided anti potential cause for litigation.O G O
