bold enough 70 make number OF
recommendations for the betterment OF
baseball in its own immediate circle
The minors want it understood
that they are not making demands.
They have merely adopted resOlu-
lions to be placed before the big
Ieaguers at their winter sessions.
and they are living in the hope that
favorable results will follow.
The biggest thing asked for by the
National association as a whole is the
sanction of a new baseball court of
appeals by the majors Minor leaguers
do not want TO erase the present IA
tional commission. but they believe
that they should have some votes in
controversies between themselves and
the majors.
For this reason they viii ask that 4
new board of appeals be formed. con-
sisJinE OF two major league represen-
tatives two minor league members
and neutral member. the body as a
whole to decide all cases in dispute
between minor and major league club
owners
Men high up in the national game
have said many times that the mi
nor leagues could gain concessions
from the majors II they would but
ask for them. And the plan for mi
nor league representation on n new
board of appeals seems likely to be
given support by the majors, since
il does away with the much-taIked
of idea of disruptinE the time hon
Ored national commission.
Another appeal to be placed before
the major leagues at their December
meeting has to do with the lifting OF
the draft from the three class "A
leagues. This recommendation. backed
UP by the National association as a
whole. viii extend the privileges Of the
association ana the International
league. If 1t is sanctioned by the two
big leagues these big minors viii en-
joy freedom that they have been look
ing forward to for years
What class A club owners want is
the right TO build up strong teams and
see fit. They viii not ask equal draft
ing privileges with the majors. and
they do not expect 30 be given a rat
ing on the same level They hope by
having the major league draft lifted
from them. TO create a better market
for their stars. and TO enjoy the right
OF selling players to whom they please
instead of being forced to sell their
best talent each fall or lose il in the
draft at a much smaller price than they
could get otherwise
The sentiment Of the minor leagues
as a whole IN supporting their three
big brothers in this move has been
prompted by the belief that in lifting
the draft a better market VIII be ere
ated for BAH players OF all classes. and
This with no great hardship on the
majors
T. league would have fatty refused to
support such a move. but the task of
boosting Old King Swat to his former
high plane of prosperity is 4 big one,
and the minors have come to the con-
clusiOn that they can afford 10 grant
concessions TO each other in order TO
gain their ends.
