DRAFTING RULE
MAY BE LIMITED
BAN JOHNSON SUGGESTS THAT
MAJORS BE PERMITTED TO
DRAFT FIVE AND PUR-
CHASE FIVE.

Chicago, Nov. 16-Curtailment of
the privileges of draft and purchase
players from the minor leagues will be-
discussed by the club owners of the
American and National leagues in
New York next month. II the big
Ieaguers are able to agree upon a
limit, the restriction will be framed
into n rule by the national commission
at the January meeting.
President Johnson OF the American
league stated yesterday that he favor
ed a rule limiting major league clubs
TO five drafted and five purchased
players each season, with a reserve
limit of thirty-hve players during the
winter and twenty-five players during
the season proper The National
! league now has the thirty-ive limit
rule and the American league a forty
| player limit-that is, constructively--
but there is no limit on drafted or Boir-
chased players.
Restriction Of the drafting privileges
was one of the concessions asked by
the Class A league at the recent meet
| ING of the national commission i'm Cin-
cinnati. but no action was taken, Pc
titioners we're told to present this and
other questions involved TO the Nat
ional minor body at san Antonio this
week and TO secure the appointment OF
n committee with full power to act.
False Hopes Raised
The contemplated reform Of the
majors. however, is not an answer
to this appeal only, but to curb the
practice of major league clubs OF
rounding up every player who shows
moro than average ability. Most o
these players never get even trial IT
the majors and the traffic in players
as we'll as the raising of false hopes
among these youngsters, in the opinior
of many magnates is proving harmiu
to the game
with an allowance Of only five play
crs by draft and FIVE by purchase, 1t Is
thought major league clubs Woul'
choose their material more caretully
secure better men and pay better
prices for what men they did secure
oven raising the draft price as re-
duested by the minors. Moreover th'
Glass A leagues would find the bushe'
not quite bare when they in turn
sought to draft from the fellows be
low.
If the National league takes kindly
to the scheme, for the approval OF th'
American league usually follows an!
plan espoused by President Johnson
II practically will be an adoption OF al
idea suggested by Mr.. Johnson severa
years ago. At that time the minors
were seeking concessions and com
plaining that their players were ne
ing gobbled UP and their team
wrecked by the big fellows at eacl
drafting season. Mr.. Johnson then oil
ferel TO limit the number of purchase
and drafted players and an agreemen
along that line was drawn up but no
ratified by the minors most interested
