MINORS CHARGE BIG
LEAGUE CLUBS HAVE
RESTORED "FARMING"
Major TEAM Can Operate
Entire Minor Club on
IS Optional Men.
By JOHN II. FOSTER,

Copyright, 1928, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 19.-The major
leagues have practically reverted to the
practice of farming out players as il
was carried on prior TO the optional
agreement plan, according TO charges
by minor league officials. This has
been accomplished, the minor kaguers
say, by purchasing controlling interests
in minor league clubs.
With the number of players 10 be
sent out on optional agreement in
creased TO fifteen, a major league club
could practically operate team in the
minors with its players if it cared
to do so.
For example, it is well known that
the st. Louis Nationai League club
is a part owner in the Syracuse team
of the International League. II the
st. Louis club should have fifteen
players not quite ready for major
league company but heading that way,
it could put them out with Syracuse
under option. thereby protecting. all
fifteen against their rivals. When the
proper time came, the options could
be taken up and the players would be-
come the property of the Cardinals
again.
OF course, in the case of Syracuse
there would be no chance that any of
the players would be lost by draft be-
cause the International League doees
not recognize the draft.
That brings up another interesting
situation. How could the st. Louis
club send its own players TO its OwJ,
club by option when the National
says such players must be subject 10
draft, and the International League, to
which the st. Louis club indirectly be.
longs, says there can be no draft?
That does not affect the grievance OF
the minors. The latter say the ma
jors have placed themselves in n posi-
ton where they can operate two bal
clubs all the season. One Of these will
