Rule Not Effective
The enforcement of this rule would
mean that none of the players turned
back from the major leagues could
find berth in the State League The
plan was to encourage the development
or young baseball material.
However, it happens that the Elmira
club is farm of the Phillies and
then Manager Pat Moran is turning
over number of his players to Jimmy
Jackson, who was chosen to lead the
Elmira Colonels partly on the promise
OF Moran to help out with some of his
youngsters. So far Jackson has re-
ceived five players from the Philies
and the presumption is that they are
turned back on an option to get more
experience.
