MINORS IN BIG MOVE
Plan TO Withdraw From National
Association by Class AA.
international. American Association
and Pacific Coast Organizations
Dissatisfaction Be Brought
Up at Next Meeting.

(By JACK VEIOCK, International News
Sports Editor)
O. W. Wathen, president of the Lou
isyille American Association club and
vice president of the league, expressed
the sentiment Of the three big minor
leagues recently when he said plans
are being made for a withdrawal from
the National association by class AA
leagues.
For a number of years the three big
minor leagues-the International, Pa
cific Coast and the American Associa-
tiou-have been the minority faction
in the national organization. Last fall,
for the first time, they succeeded in
dominating the annual meeting of the
minor leagues at New Orleans. They
managed to secure a resolution on the
part of the association asking for a
change in the draft rules, and the sup
port the move received was a real
surprise.
But the three big minors are not
satisfied. They feel that they should
bE pei AiiALAEk " h1A1iilNN az dNbAf Z
members Of the National association.
They would like to be recognized as
a third party to the national agree
ment. for they feel that the affairs
Of their leagues are of no vital in
terest to the smaller minors and they
believe they could conduct their bust
ness to a much better advantage on
the outside.
President Edward Barrow of the
International League has admitted
that such a plan is on foot, and he
intimates that it will be brought up
at the next meeting of the national
association, which is to be held in
Louisville next November
The plan being worked out by the
big minors is expected TO receive the
support of the national commission,
for it will in no way interfere with
the smaller minors, and it will not
affect the major leagues in any way.
Glass AA owners feel they should
be set apart from the smaller leagues,
because they are in a distinct class
by themselves. Furthermore, the
vast amount of business In which
the many small leagues are inter
ested has little or no interest for AA
owners. except in a very few cases
where there is a controversy over
players. Many of these cases are
threshed out between the owners
themselves.
The new move of the big minors
Is in no way an attempt to cut loose
from the protecting wing of organ
lied baseball. They merely feel that
they, as a distinct branch of the ma
tional game. should be permitted to
fora an organization of their own
and operate under the laws of or
gauized baseball In the same manner
as the National Association does at
present.
