CLARK C. GRIFFITH OUTLINES
RULES THAT WILL HELP GAME
Pilot OF Nationals Does Not Approve of Selling

Ideas to Leagues for Consideration.

Clark c. Griffith, who last summer
proved one of the best little diplomats
that baseball has ever seen in its his
tory. voices his opinion on the recon-
struction OF organized baseball. The
Foxey Pilot. in digging deep into con-
stitutional law. has drawn up an out
line that should meet with the ap-
proval of the major league bodies
when they meet this month. The fol-
lowing is Griff's ideas:
Sporting Editor. The Washington
Herald:
An outline of an agreement under
which major and minor league clubs
could work that would give justice and
equity to the players as well as the
owners is recorded below. This would
be boom to the minor leagues, as
they would no longer have to purchase
players.
Three years ago 7 presented a reso-
luton to the American League, re-
questing 1t never again to buy, trade
or sell a ball player. After discussion
the resolution was denied on the
grounds that it was not the proper
time to adopt such a measure as the
Federal League players were thrown
out of employment at that time.
Il am mailing an outline of this
agreement to all club owners for dis
cussion. Yours truly.
CLARK GRIFFITH"
Organized baseball. both major and
minor. can be governed by three rules

The reserve rule. 2. The draft rule.
3. The waiver rule.
The reserve rule will protect clubs

The draft rule will insure the ad-
vancement OF the player in his pro-
fession.
The waiver rule protects the club
owner and at the same time the rights
of the player.
Rules that shall govern the applica-
tion of the three above mentioned
rules to be as follows. viz:
l. No club shall be permitted to sell
or buy player except by the waiver
rule
