Chief objection Of the minor leagues.
as expressed by Mr. Names, are that
the agreement for twenty-five years
covers too long period: that the
minors would have too little influence
IN settlement of questions in which
they were vitality Interested, and that
they would have no voice in the Sc
lection of a successor for Judge X. NJ
Lands after the expiration of his
seven years as commissioner,
In Favor of Lands.
President Names voiced the opinion
previously expressed by President
Hickey of the American Association
that the minor leagues would be will
ing to accept Judge Lands as a COM
missioner Of base ball, but would
want that agreement to expire when
power. In fact. the final article of a
substitute agreement proposed by
President Names reads as follows:
This compact shall remain in force
as long as the Hon. K. NJ. Lands con-
tinues to hold the office of commits
sioner."
In discussing this angle of the
proposition President Names said: "1f
the ma1Or-mlnOr compact were to re-
main in force only as long as Judge
Lands continues to hold the office of
commissioner, it would make little
had voice in choosing his successor,
or whether provisions for this voice
were made at this time.
THAT bridge can be crossed when
we come to it, and as many Of the
faces now in the majors and minors
probably will be changed before an
other commissioner must be chosen.
method Of choice satisfactory to
everybody may be reached by that
time"
Another Objection.
Another objection by the minors is
found in the proposed provision for
the settlement of disputes between
majors and minors in that it is claim

question Of the draft and the prices
