BASEBALL TRUST
IS WORST Of ALL,
SAYS DAVIDSON

RAFTING rules seemed per-
fectly satisfactory until they
- began TO get into operation,
and then the little technicalities be-
gan TO show up. In the main these
,.,,Ies are satisfactory 10 class IA
.r1bs but there Is one flaw in them
that lends an advantage to the ma
iors that is hardly fair to the mi
rors concerned. The drafting sea-
son extends over a period of five
DAYS and disappointments can be
,urne6 into happiness by what is
Known as supplementary" drafts,
or drafts that are filed after the
first deal Like poker, you can dis
card and call for more to help your
hand This would be all right if 1t
worked equally. But several class
"A crafts were disallowed this year
because major league clubs were
narnoitted to cancel some drafts
made and take a new pick. Yer
non and Los Angeles put in drafts
for payers IIOfIi 81. JUG, but al
were disalIowed because the majors
had filed supplementary" drafts,
or taken two picks.
A MENDMENT to the drafting
u rules should be made so that the
first deal should be the limit AS
the rules now work, the majors
may scramble for the first pickings,
and then if they fail they can
cancel their original drafts and go
back after the class of the rem
nants. BY the time they get through
picking the minor league bone,
there is nothing left for the class
IA clubs. Supplementary drafts
should be canned because they de-
feat the real reform asked by the
minors. In that drafting should be
allowed only for the purpose Of
strengthening, not for brokerage
purposes.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-11

RAFTING is a farce, anyway.
~ 1t should not be permitted at
sll. Instead of an agreement that
permits q raid by leagues of a
higher classification upon an infe-
nor league, the right Of private con-
tract only should be recognized.
Let every club make its own con
tracts and buy and sell and trade
at will, as long as no violation of
private contracts occurs. This will
be the stand that the minors will
take when the present national
agreement comes up for renewal.
Under the present rules the right of
private contract is prohibited, and
time limits are prescribed in which
minor league clubs may deal with
one another, all in the interest of
the majors.
