Under the new rule, the players who
are put out by the majors must be
accepted by all minor league clubs
whether the clubs favored or opposed
the draft--with the understanding
that all such players shall be subject
to draft when the drafting season
rolls around. Optional agreement
players are not subject to draft il the
option is exercised. but. il II Is not
exercised. they are subject to draft
ing.
OF course. those minor league clubs
opposed to the draft can refuse 20
take any players under such condi-
tlons. They have that right. But. IL
they do refuse. they must find their
players in some other way. Perhaps
they viii be abl. to do so. They have
much confidence in their strength. II
they refuse 10 take such players un-
der such conditions. the major leagues
may lind themselves loaded up with
players when the time limit for re-
ducine runs out. and in that case
would bc compelled TO let those ex-
ira PLAYERS go Internationally. That
would suit III" minors 10 a T. but they
can I conceive that tn. majors will
ever permit that to happen.
On the contrary. IL the minor
league clubs opposed to the draft ac-
cept players with the stipulation that
they may be drafted. they are placed
in the dilemma of being opposed to
Ihe drdIt ana yet Welding to the
draft which has nettcd them SO
much.
Added Blow 30 Minors.
On top Of this draft provision
there is the added blow to the minors
OF tieinR up fifteen players for each
minor league club by optional agree
ment. total Of 2so men. These arc
under the direct control of the big
league clubs being merely temporar
lily at school in the minors.
The real high-clsss base ball play
ers of the United States do not ex-
ceed 500 in number That is. per-
haps. an excessive figure. If. OF the
500. the major league owners have the
full total under their domination in
ono way or another. il is easy to see
why the minors are furious that the
major league grip has been tight
encd: in fact. is tighter than II has
ever been since the new agreement
went into effect
And il has all come. about because
the ma jor league owners are mad over
having to pay. AS they call it, $4,000
