T the IErvin bill ( o end reserve fn Gril provisions tE add~ usual House subcommittee ap- . pearance, Sen. Sam J. Ervin announced yesterday he will in- troduce legislation to exempt professional athletes from "slav- ery" through antitrust exemp- tions and the reserve clause. "I hope you will all join with me in trying to pass this legis- lation to help vindicate the cou- rageous sacrifice of Curt Flood so that those athletes that come after can say truthfully and proudly that 'I am not a piece of property,' " the North Carolina Democrat said. Declaring it "is easy to become very emotional about the plight of American professional ath- letes," Ervin said "even though their numbers are small, they are slaves. Even though many of them are well paid, they are well-paid slaves, "In this land of the free and the home of the brave, we have a group of citizens who cannot sell their talents in the free en- terprise system," he said. Ervin said his bill would per- mit an athlete upon expiration of his contract to enter into a contract with any other person. Appearing before a House judi- ciary subcommittee, Ervin said athletes are held in bondage by club owners through such de- vices as the reserve clause, op- tion clause, league rules and court decisions exempting base- ball from antitrust laws. HE ALSO SPOKE against o bill before the subcommittee to permit the merger of the Na- tional Basketball Association and American Basketball Association. "The basketball owners are asking Congress to give them the same type of monopolistic pow- ers over their players and I think it is atrocious that this He servitude is going on in 20th lie century America and any sports fo legislation that passes Congress sta should abolish it," Ervin said. far Yanks, 0's, Bosox win ody Fryman, the Tiger's new uisition, proved effective in first American League start, ttering only six safeties in ting the decision.
