Drop Free
Agent Rule
Clubs May Farm Players as
Often as They
Desire.
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press stan Correspondent

Jniteu frfNa stan correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Club own
ers of the National and American
Leagues have clamped a curb on
Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain
Lands czar-like powers by adopting
legislation to assure the unhindered
development of chain store" base
ball.
The owners at their annual joint
meeting also bowled over one of the
commissioners pet policies by dis
carding the mandatory sale of world
series tickets in blocks for three
games and permitting clubs to sell
them for one or two games.
Keeps High Salary
The white-haired commissioner
emerged from the meeting, at which
he presided, without suffering a cut
in his $4,000 salary, however.
He has been opposed to chain
store baseball ever since this sys-
tenn, whereby major league clubs
took over minor league franchises
for developing young players was
exploited widely by the st. Louis
Cardinals and other powerful clubs.
But Thursday he was forced vir-
tually to accept the system when
the proprietors voted unanimously
that all player transactions between
major and farm clubs must be re-
garded exactly the same as between
major and outside minor clubs.
This new deal will enable the
club owners to save considerable
money as they no longer will have
to pay optioned players a major
salary.
Previously, Commissioner Lands
had refused to accept dealings with
in a chain system as independent
transactions. He insisted that play
ers owned by major clubs still were
under control Of those clubs when
they we're farmed out, by option or
otherwise.
Recall Bennett Case
He claimed that if major clubs
were permitted to farm out a player
indefinitely, it endangered the
chances of young players ever
breaking into big league baseball in
cases where the owning club had
failed to recognize their ability.
Consequently, he ruled that when
a player had been farmed out three
times, without waivers, he became
a free agent and no longer belonged
to the club.
This free agent ruling caused
much conflict with the owners and
it reached a deadlock last year in
the Herschel Bennett case in which
Lands declared outfielder Bennett
a free player after Phil Ball, owner
of the st. Louis Browns, had OPP
toned him out three times to Brown
farm clubs.
Radio Ban Dropped
A proposal to ban broadcasting
of baseball games was not consid-
cred by the meeting because more
than two hours Of stormy debate
showed that the owners could not
hope for a unanimous vote on the
commission.
The date for fixing the twenty
three player limit was advanced
from June 15 to May Is. However,
June Is still stands as the deadline
for inter-club trading without a
waiver.
The minor league draft agree
ment was sanctioned and will con-
tiAue in force for seven more years,
dating from Feb. 4, 1881.

 Roosevelt has a farm, also. which he bought some years ago. On it are a dairy, hens and the usual farm crops. Moe Smith, known as "chaarcter' in the sec tion, is in charge. Incidentally, on the night Roosevelt was nom- mated Moe became so excited he forgot to do the farm work for the next two days Celebrators who organized parade the night Roosevelt was selected went to the farm and were greeted by Moe with joyous yells.

 while he was still in bed. He's al- ways friendly like that"
 When at home Roosevelt de-
 spite being crippled by infantile paralysis, often comes to- the will lage to chat with the people. They all know him and he knows them. Fremont Vandewater, local butcher who was once supervisor is another opposed to Roosevelt politically but he admits that Roosevelt always played square with me-"
 Roosevelt and his family attend the 120-year old St James Epis-
 copal church where they are all members. The governor is senior warden. Adjoining the, church in the rear is the cemetery where Roosevelts are buried and where
 Franklin, too, may be buried some day.
 Although the normal republi- can majority of 600 may prevent Roosevelt from carrying his own neighborhood. he is a popular
 man, one who grew up among the people. The first time he ran for governor he was defeated at home, but in 1880 he had a small major | ity.
 That doesn't matetr, especially.
 In Hyde Park he is regarded as a fine gentleman who bravely overcame the handicap of a crip- bling illness to be nominated for. and possibly elected to. the high est office in the Unitel States. ] They are proud of him.
