O'CONNELL SALE DRAWS BEAD ON
a A" ANT|-ORAFT M0vfMtb,

tho upper leagues an even chance to
obtain the leading stars of the lower
leagues each year. Second. to give the
players Z chance to move into higher
classes as their work merited.
The names Of players eligible to the
draft were drawn by lot each year and
the fortunate clubs paid set amount
for each player.
This draft is still in force among
most minor leagues and between the
majors and many of the lower class
minor leagues.
MANY ANGLES IN MOVE
The three Glass AA leagues men
toned broke the draft agreement be-
cause it gave them no chance to realize
big money on their stars. They chose
to sell their players whenever and
wherever they saw fit. The draft
price paid by the majors $500, seemed
puny to them.
But these leagues looked at the mat
ter from only one angle. The other
angles are what most concern the
players involved, the majors and the
public in general.
Without the draft the owners OF the
clubs in these leaguea have the final
say as to when their star players shall
60 up to the ma jors and the price said
majors must pay. This has manyAre
suits.
First of all. il the club sees fit 1t
can keep young and coming player
for one or more SEASONS after he is
ripe" and deserving of chance in
better company simply TO draw
larger price for him. This works
grave injustice on the player. Also. 1t
depriycs the major league fans to
chance to see him. 1t prevents the
player from obtaining the larger sal
ary which usually accompanies 4 big
league contract. Second. 1t gives the
ma jor league clubs with the largest
pocketbook the best chance to grab off
| the star players of the Class AA
| teams.
! BY making the purchase price OF
| these stars cxhorbitant it increases
! the overhead OF the big league clubs
and encourages them to continue the
| high finance methods which arc now
jcopardizing the future OF the game.
| So
From the standpoint OF the owners
| of tho Class AA clubs abolition OF the
draft is to their advantage at present
They are rcaping big dividends on
| their stars.
WEALTHY CLUBS PROSPER
Likewise, the major clubs with wide
open safe doors are grabbing off many
good players that they might not
otherwise obtain.
But there can be only one result ~
this practice is kept up. Tho biddinr
ultimately will run SO high that mai
ors will simply be bsnkrupting them
selves. They will realize this finally
aud quit offering fabulous prices IN
the meantime the club owners VII
have become accustomed to tho high
prices and tho players Will have alb
sorbcd the high finance spirit The
other minor leagues cannot be CEN
surcd II they hear the call of the coin
and try the high finance game them
selves.
In other words. the antl-draft move
mcnt can lead only to disorder and
chaos.
Tho draft is indeed in the game &c
stabilize Il and insure fair treatment
for tho minor and major league cur
owners, and the players of all stages
The basic idea OF the draft Is SOUND
II It is found wanting as applied al
