The Right To Grow BeardsThe United States courts are going in for iicards this season but in a judicial way rather than for personal adornment. A district court has decided Lhat anybody’s baseball team can wear beards if I bey can raise them but THAT ONLY ONE BEARDED nine can call itself the “House of “David Ball Club.”For a number of years the House of David” nine has been a good box office attract ion 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 conepived the idea that because the famous bearded nine docs not recruit all its players from the religious community at Benton Harbor, Mich., it holds no monopoly of the name House of David”Fortunate indeed is it lhat the court had presence of mind enough to reaffirm the legal principle that the right to grow a beard is INALIENABLE even among baseball players.-In the ease just decided the court might have slipped Into the error of leaving that important point of law undecided and a potential cause for litigation.
