Renewal BY Minors
Of Abrogation May
Result in Trouble

The renewal by the minor leagues
last week of the abrogation Of h Ma
tional agreement with the major lea
gues is pretty sure to lead to many
complications before h season is over,
There are already several cases now
of controversy between major and mi
nor league clubs over minor league
layer and there Is no such body to
which an appeal can be taken. as the
minors no longer recognize the Nation
al Commission
One OF the things which the minor
leagues agreed to among themselves
last winter when they broke on rela-
tons with the majors and decided to
paddle their own canoe. was that no
minor league club should take a major
league player on optional agreement.
Some OF the minor have lived up to
his rule. while others have not taken
IL seriously. according to report. There
are numerous players now In he In
tcrnational League. who were sent
there last spring by the majors. but
/. is understood. at least by these
players, hat they were not handed
over to the International as a gift.
Some of these youngsters were given
to understand that after a period OF
seasoning in the International they
were to be recalled by the majors.
