O'Connel Sale Draws Bead on
"A A" Anti-Draft Movement

or shall go up TO tho majors and the
price said majors must pay This has
many results.
First Of all. if the club sees fit
il can keep Young and coming play
er for one or more seasons after he
is ripe and deserving of chance
in better company simply TO drsw n
larger price for him. This works a
grave injustice On the player Also, It
deprives the major league fans of a
chance to see him II prevents play
or from obtaining the larger salary
which usually accompanies big
league contract. Second. it gives the
major league clubs with the largest
pocketbook the best chance to grab off
the star players of the Glass AA
teams
BY making the purchase price Of
these stars exorbitant It increases
the overhead of the big league clubs
and encourages them TO continue tho
nigh finance methods which are now
icopardjzing the future Of the game
So
Wealthy Clubs Prosper
Likewise, the major clubs witt
wide open safe doors are grabbing
off many good players that the!
might not otherwise obtain.
But there can be only one result il
this practice is kept up. The bidding
ultimately will run so high that ma
lors viii simply bo bankrupting them
selves. They will realize this fina'tl
and quit offering fabulous prices. II
the meantime the club owners will
have become accustomed to higf
prices and the players win have alb
solbed the high finance spirit. The
other minor leagues cannot be censur
ed if they hear the call Of the cor
and try the high finance game them
/ selves.
In other words, the anti-draft move
ment can lead cnly 10 disorder ant
| chaos
/ The draft is needed in the game t
stabilize it and insure fair treatmen
for the minor and major league clul
owners and the players of all stages
The basic idea Of the draft is SOUND
If it is found wanting as applied
present these defects ought 10 b
remedied easily,
AS it is now the flood gates ar
open and no one knows where IN
tide will carry the game-which a
ready is floating in leaky craft.
