Baseball card
bubble popped
William P. Dixon, the con-
vention manager, released a
new schedule on Tuesday which
anticipates endless hours of
wrangling over the platform
and party rules.
Robert Torricelli, executive
director of the rules committee,
also set out a scenario that
almost assures a bitter floor
fight over a proposed rule
forcing President Carter’s
delegates to vote for him.
Supporters of Sen. Edward
M. Kennedy immediately say
ginal version. And that
raises visions of the Miami
Beach marathon eight years
ago, when nominee George S.
McGovern found himself ad-
dressing a scant television
audience ordinarily reserved
for the late, late, late show.
Dixon cited rules which allow
25 percent of the members of a
standing committee to bring a
challenge to the convention
floor and 20 percent of the
delegates to demand a roll call
vote on the floor for any
measure defeated by voice
vote.
As it is, Dixon now plans to
open the convention at 11 a.m.r >and acceptance speeches, goes
on Aug. 11 and leave the hall 12 from 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
hours later. The second day is 1
to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 1
a.m.
On the third day, which in-
cludes the presidential
nomination, the mpst^ op-
timistic schedule now runs
from 9 a.m. to midnight. And

nominations for vice president

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A
federal judge has popped the
bubble in the baseball card
business by ruling that the
Topps Chewing Gum Co. and
the Major Leagues Baseball
Players Association violated
antitrust laws.
U.S. District Judge Garence
C. Newcomer ruled Tuesday
that “Topps and the players
association have unlawfully
restrained and monopolized
trade in ... pocket-size pictures
of active major league baseball
players.”
The suit was brought by a
former competitor in the
baseball trading card market,
Fleer Corp. of Philadelphia.
But while Fleer, which claims
to have invented bubble gum,
had asked for $16 million in
damages in the suit that was
filed five years ago, Newcomer
awarded it $3.
