Receives Letter From Hermann Civ
Ing Reasons for Refusing Re-
quest Of Justices
Committee.
KEEP MEN SOLD
Had Asked That Players Sold by G
and D Leagues be Kept
Till End Of the
Season.

The request Of a committee, Of
which M. e. Justice, president OF the
Central association, was a member.
to the national commission that clubs
in Glass c and d leagues be permitted
to retain until the close Of their re-
spective seasons, players sold by them
to clubs In leagues of higher rank,
has been turned down by the commits
sion, according to a letter received
by Nj. Justice today from Garry
Hermann, chairman Of the commits
sion.
The committee on which Mr.. Justice
served, was appointed last winter at
the meeting OF the national associa-
ton, the organization to which all
minor leagues belong. The committee
was instructed at the meeting to take
up with the commission the matter OF
allowing the clubs of the W lower
classiflcations to retain until the close
OF their seasons the players purchas-
ed by clubs OF higher classification.
This is a matter hat has long been
urged by the great majority of fans
who have time and again been disap-
pointed in seeing their favorite play
ers sold before the close Of the season
and at a time when tina loss of the
player might cause the club to lose
It's chances OF winning the pennant.
Reasons for Refusal.
The commission gave three reasons
for refusing the request. first. that
such an amendment, II adopted,
should apply to all minor leagues.
Classes c and D ask for class legisla-
ton without advancing reasons why
an exception should be made in their
behalf; second. that the concession,
Il granted, would cloud title to class
C and D players, sold but undelivered,
confuse major league club owners rs
well as those of higher classification
In drafting such players and thers ally
result in decreasing their opportun-
tiles for advancement in their profess
sion by selection; third. that the
chances Of collision through fictitious
sales which can be presented only by
requiring players purchased by one
minor league from another to report
to the purchasing club on or before a
prescribed time, would be increased
with an impairment of the privilege
of the players promotion in their own
profession, thereby enabling them to
secure adequate compensation for ex-
%pertness, as provided for In Object 3
of the agreement"
