Raiders Win Another Round Mens Judge Rules Against City SALINAS, Calif. (AP) Oakland city - two attempts officials were stopped in Friday to keep the Raiders pro football team in their city. Monterey County Superior Court Judge E. J. Leach Jr., hearing the case on a change of venue, denied Oaklands attempt to reinstate a preliminary injunction or to get a new temporary restraining order to stall the teams desired move to Los Angeles. The city wanted the judge to keep the Raiders in Oakland until a trial could be held on its attempts to seize the team through its powers of eminent domain. Leach denied Oaklands requests qfter hearing arguments from eight attorneys. This is really a situation of economic bargaining, and always has been, the judge said. Leach said there wouldnt be any irreparable damage to Oakland if the National Football League team left. He also believed the use of any injunctive relief for parties involved in eminent domain cases should be approached cautiously. The judge agreed with arguments for the team that Oakland hadnt taken any official action to acquire the franchise through eminent domain. Traditionally, such municipal power has been used for parks, roads and urban renewal. But Oakland is seeking to use the power to keep the Raiders in place. Roger Sullivan, an attorney representing the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission, argued that Oakland has made no attempt to follow the procedures outlined under eminent domain laws. Those laws require Oakland to put up a deposit in order to purchase the team, then get estimates of the fair market value of the Raiders franchise. Moses Lasky, attorney for Raiders owner A1 Davis, said he wasnt surprised by the judges decision, adding, I expected it because it is the obvious and correct decisioq. David Self, an attorney for Oakland, said he was disappointed by the rulings. DESIGNER SPORT COATS 2$l 70.00 TOMORROW 7 A.M. SHARP Simplicity GARDEN TRACTORS . . .
