OUTLINE
REQUESTS
OF MINORS
Six Specific Suggestions in
Recommendations to Ma
tional Commission

The efforts of owners of A. A.
league clubs to induce the national
baseball commission to modify the
draft rules, or amend them in such
a way that their application will be
impartial have aroused no little inter-
est among the baseball fans Of the
country. ..
There are six specific requests, or
suggestions in the recommendations
made to the commission, which has
taken the matter under advisement,
as follows.
9TH elimination of that part of the
drafting rules in the national agree
ment affecting the drafting of play
ers by major league clubs from class
A. A. clubs.
"The elimination of that part of the
national agreement providing that
class A. A, players purchased by ma
jor league clubs shall be required to
report to the purchasing club i'm
mediately after the purchase of the
players.
"That it is the sense of the national
thereof be permitted to take a player
from the major leagues, either on OPP
ton or by purchase, who has not hao
minor league experience.
The establishment of a board of
five members, separate and distinct
Xrom the national commission to de-
eide all matters on appeal from the
findings Of the national association,
or on all matters of controversy be-
tween major and minor leagues or
club members or players.
Changing the method OF drafting
players: first, by determining by lot
when opposite major leagues draft
the same player, which league shall
secure the player instead OF determin-
ing the league and player at the same
time; second, by naming the player
drafted from class A. A. clubs, instead
of naming the clubs first and the
player afterward. .. a.. 81
"The Encouragement of the rules and
laws of the national association af-
fecting territorial rights, classical
ton. reservation and farming or OPP
tional agreements n sasa.fs-. H..
During the discussion the spokes-
men of the class A. A. leagues made
an additional request to the effect
that If the commission finally decided
it would not eliminate the draft from
the class A. A. league, it would
set back the date Of the drafting
period from Sept 10 to Sept. rs.

are concentrating their efforts on OBJ
tanning a two-thirds majority in each
house Of the legislature.
Thirty-four votes are required in
the senate, and rs votes are required
in the house.
information Not Plentiful.
Information concerning the plans of
the Nonpartisan league in the present
session of the legislature, is closely
guarded. Caucus sessions are held
behind closed doors, in the Northwest
hotel, which hostelry has been leased
for the session by the leaguers.
The Tuesday night caucus. how
ever, Is understood to have been given
over almost entirely to the proposition
OF the constitutional convention. and
it probably was explained to the
absolutely necessary to accomplish the
fulfillment of the leagues pledges.
Makes Little Difference.
From the viewpoint OF the profess
sional organizer Of the Nonpartisan
league, the success or non-success OF
the league in this session of the leg
islature means little. Should the
league fail to put its platform through
it would go before the people once
more. The next time, however. the
question of a constitutional conven-
ton would be a real, live issue, and
would come to the front throughout
the campaign.
During the last campaign, the prop
osition that a constitutional conven-
ton was contemplated, was consist
emily relegated to the rear. and given
little or no attention.
Insist On Their Program.
The league leaders, it is understood,
would not be satisfied with less than
a two-thirds vote, thus placing the
proposition beyond the pale of the
referendum act.
They are insistent upon avoiding an
election involving the question of
whether or not a convention should
be called.
In other words-the league leaders
want their plan adopted, or they do
not want the convention at all.
Frazier Doesn't Mention Ii.
Governor Frazier did not deal with
the constitutional convention question
in his message. He simply said the
program of the Nonpartisan league
should be carried out; the legislature
ought not to stop the plan.

condition and it would be an easy task
for him to get ready for a bout and
show all his old time skill.
But there's one thing that win have
to be understood before Gibbons can

that Mcfarland must receive a fiat
