For example, il is well known that
the st. Louis National League club is
a part owner in the Syracuse team
of the International League. If the
St Louis club should have fifteen
players not quite ready for major
league company, but heading that
way, il could put them out with SYRIA
ruse under options. thereby protect
ing all fifteen against their rivals.
When the proper time came the
options could be taken up and the
players would become the property
of the Cardinals again.
Brings Up Another Question.
OF course. in the case of Syracuse
there would be no chance that any
of the players would be lost by draft.
because the International League does
NOT recognize the draft. That brings
M another interesting situation. How
could the St. Louis club send It's own
players to its own club by optlon
when the National League, TO Which
St Louis belongs, says such players
must be subject to draft, and the In
ternational League, to which the ST.
Louis club indirectly belongs, says
there can be no draft?
That does not anect the grievance
of the minors The latter say the
majors have placed themselves in
nosition where they can operate two
ball clubs all the season. One OF
these will be the major league club
proper which is fighting for the
rhampionship in its own league and
the other could be an entire club in
a minor league whose interests might
be subordinated to the requirements
of the major club.
Los Angeles, for example, is owned
