From the Cincinnati Tmes-star:
Minor leagues are not doing the whole
sale drafting that they we're expected
TO do. The reason for this IL found
In the fact that Class a minor league
clubs find that little or no desirable
talent was left In the Glass u, G and d
teams. after the major league raid was
over. The result is that the Glass A
clubs must hold OF on making up their
teams until the major league teams
have made their dlscards In the mat
ter Of this wholesale drafting by the
big league the minor leagues need soma
protection. for how can the Western,
Eastern. Atlantic and New England
leagues recruit when the big league
captures all the desirable talent In the
Glass u. G and d leagues? II would
seem the proper thing 10 connection
with drafting Of players that rule
should be- enacted allowing clubs oxer'
cialng the drafting rule to claim play
ers from only the class Immediately be
meath them. That Is 10 say, that the
big league clubs could draft only from
class a minor league teams. Glass \
from Glass y only. and 90 on. In this
way the minor leagues would not suiiei
80 much from the draft. as no mino'
league club would lose more than two
players al the end Of any season. and
the players would be properly deyel
oped before they reached the tastes
company. This scheme would also cur
tail the farming practice TO some ex
tent.

Arnln., Agreement Change.

The minor league magnates have al
WAYS claimed that they would rather
have the players they sell than the
money they receive from the sales OF
their stars to National League clubs
Yet they strcnuoualy protest against
the proposed amendment to the Ma
tlonal Agreement providing for the ie-
turn Of a player. who on trial Is found
not TO be fast enough for the National
League. The most logical objections
10 the amendment In question are that
"the period not exceeding thirty play

and further. no compensation accrses

clause that In the event Of the return
OF the player, "tho amount (of the
