CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The minor
leagues are satisfied with the new
baseball legislation that makes the
draft optional with the leagues,
and the fact that Federal Judge
lands is the supeme head OF their
interests they believe that justice
will be done. according to A. X.
Tearney. president Of the Western
and Three-I leagues, in a statement
issued here today
President Tearney considers the
draft the greatest evil that confronts
the minors and predicts that all of
the larger minor leagues Will vote
20 deny the privilege Of the major
leagues to draft players. The
American Association, Pacific Coast
league, the International league and
the Western league are among the
larger minor organizations that
have voted TO reject the draft.

in which time the National associa-
ton experienced its greatest pros

the draft optional President Tear

No Argument for Draft.

failed TO offer = logical argument in

marked ability the majors do not
wait for the draft, but purchase
him Then II he does not make
good, he "a returned 20 the minors
for ms much and in great many
instances, for more than the pur-
chase price, with an additional
boost in salary which is a hardship
to' 'he minors.
However, this procedure does
not work as serious handicap on
