Cut in Salaries for
The Minor Leagues

San Antonio, Tex. Nov. 1.-THE
salary limits Of every league except
the major leagues will be cut to the
quick. next season, If movement
started. today, at the convention of the
National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues BY Wilbur P. Allen.
president of the Texas League, bears
fruit The Texans plan is that CEN
trail board fix A salary limit for ev
cry league of a certain classification
and fix penalties TOR the violation of
such limit, taking the power of fixing
salaries away from the individual
! leagues. The existence of some leagues
depends upon the adoption of such a
rule, 1t is commended. 1t was further
argued that unless the salary limit of
each league in class is the same, the
classification is in fact made void.
The Advancement of the Pacific
Coast League, American Association
and the Eastern League to a higher
classification to oe known as AA was
recommended by committee
which met, today. 1t is proposed that
leagues in this class be permitted to
Draft from all other minor leagues.
Practically the entire business ses-
sion. today, of minor league leader was
devoted to the salary limit problem
and in the end it was referred to a
committee. II was the consensus of
opinion that fixing OF salary limits
either by classification or population
under the direction CT the National AS
sociation is imperative.
The suggestion by Secretary Quinn
of the Columbus, Ohio, club that the
salaries of players who go to high
er league should be on a fixed scale.
was generally approved. 1t is antici-
pated that both suggestions will be
reported 'favorably by the committee
on revision of the constitution, tomor-
row.
President Sexton of the National
Association, President Ebbetts of the
Brooklyn. National League Club and
President Murphy of the Chicago Ma
j tionals were the special champions of
the Allen plan.
President Ebbetts suggested that
league presidents and club owner be
bonded to insure the observance of the
salary limit imposed. Incidentally
President Sexton urged that the pay
Iment of railroad fares and expenses
of players and their families report
ing or returning 70 their homes after
the season be altogether discontinued
or regulated
Betting will be a subject of discus
sion. tomorrow. President Baum of

that he would offer q resolution ask
