MORE TROUBLE
FACES MINORS
IN DRAFT FUSS
Big Leagues Dissatisfied With
Conditions and Agreement
May Be Terminated.
BAN JOHNSON SPEAKS

CHICAGO, Nov 29.-When the major
| league ma gnates gather in New York
| next month for their annual argument
! they may cook up more or less of a stew
Tor the little fellows to swallow. This
was indicated today by a statement from
! Ban Johnson, American Leag executive,
| who said there was a possibility of the
| big leagues terminating their present
working agreement with the minors.
The major minor agreement was put
into effect when Judge X. NJ. Lands be-
came baseball commissioner, but is sep
arate and apart from the major contract
which was adopted at the same time.
! The big fellows accepted the pact, al
though admitting it wasn't to their liking.
| Now, having operated under it for q
year, there is agitation afoot to wipe 1t
out and either draw up a new agreement
or let the small leagues swing along on
/ their own hook.
FRICTION OVER
THE DRAFT.
All the dissatisfaction is due to the
bail for many seasons. Under the pres
nize the right Of the majors to swoop
down every fall and pick off what ap-
Reared to be excellent diamond timber.
The. five circuits are the American Assoc
western, and Hhree-I-the first three
being the most fertile in the country for
big league prospects.
The major viewpoint is that the alb
]
the clubs from improving. but works
to the detriment of the players. In
| der the draft, a player is bound to
advance if he shows sufficient playing
| skill. Without the draft a minor
league club can either hold him or sell
him, but usually the price is so high
that the majors refuse to buy for fear
the athlete involved may turn out to
/ be a lemon"
REAL SALVATION
Is IN TRUST"
Without a working agreement all
kinds Of things would be possible. The
minors would have TO sign their athletes
to irOnclad contracts to avoid the pos
| sibility of major league raids. Such
thing is not likely however, for the
simple reason that the majors have no
dispute with the small circuits that
recognize the draft. The only preace-
full solution is for the majors to buy
! minor franchises and farm out"
players for development.
