The minor representatives also will
seek to establish the status of play
ers under contract to leagues which
suspended last season. Several clubs
have been seriously crippled through
the loss of star players who were
signed by other leagues. They want
those players returned or settlement
made for their loss.
Players in the Glass AA and A
leagues hereafter may be released
without the customary five-day So
tice. The convention unanimously
passed a resolution presented by
President Baum, of the Pacific Coast
League, calling for the elimination
of the five-day clause from the play
ors' contracts. The convention also
passed a resolution prohibiting play
ers in every league from participat-
ing in any game outside of the reg
