Lands Proposes
Elimination of
Farm System

! CHICAGO. Jan. 81. (UPD-Com-
missioner KeneSaw Mountain Lam
dis. champion of the young ball
player and arch foe Of the farm
system, turned the baseball world
upside down again today with his
revolutionary proposal TO eliminate
chain store methods from organized
baseball
DiScrete silence prevailed among
Jlttery magnates in every major
league city except Chicago, where
the latest Lands plan enjoyed quick
circulation.
Both owner Phil K. Wrigley of the
Chicago Cubs and Harry Grabiner,
general manager of the White SoX,
approved the suggested substitute
for the farm system which would do
away with working agreements be-
tween major and minor league clubs
and place all minor league players
under direct contract to the club for
which they play.
Since neither Chicago organiZa-
ton has extensive minor leaue pro-
pertes their reaction could not be
construed as the probable trend.
1t was the second time in eleven
days that lands had attacked the
farm system.
In most cities, baseball men are
still reeling from his edict of Jan.
Is which specified fines and sus-
pensions for club officials who vio-
late his 5-point Interpretation of
the term working agreements"
He assessed heavier penalties for
intractionS of basball law, regarding
the signing of players TO blank con-
tracts, manipulation Of players
without filing of proper transfer
agreements, and secret working
agreements between major and mi
nor league clubs.
In his first constructive recon-
mendations for replacement of dis
puted farm hand methods, Lands
declared, the essence of this new
plan is that players are to be ac-
quired by higher classification clubs
for present service only, not for
anticipated future needs
I1c SuBBCoICo liioI PAoySi NC sAS
signed outright only for an agreed
consideration and all not assigned
by fixed date would be subject to
draft bv higher class clubs. Thus the
present system of optional agree
ments, whereby minor Lacquer can
be nursed along by the parent club
until he is ready or needed in the
majors, would be discontinued.
To make up for withdrawal of fl
nancial support by individual major
league clubs, he suggested that sub
sides be granted to all class B, C,
and D clubs, presumably by the l6
major teams.
After the program is in opera
tion," he said, funds could be der
wed from the sale or draft OF player
contracts"

try to cross the starting line first
which is maniiestly impossible. be-
cause ONLY one of them can cross
anything first.
Tnc idea IS to crowd the living
human cadaVer into the staring
gate, all his various condiments and
endeavors held firmly and strictly
in their proper place. Then the
starter will press the button and the
various and sundry human doo-dads
will explode in unison resulting in a
smoother uniform, coherent and
otherwise fluid backswing.
The use OF the starting gate will
not be restricted TO the tee, but will
be moved about the course just as
a racing gate is moved about for
races OF various lengths. Drawn by
teams Of matched pcrcherons, it will
follow the players down the fair
way, enabling them to be electrically
started on braS&le, No. 2 iron, and
niblick shots.
The gate Will be of particular val
uc TO the duffer in sand traps, be-
cause it is in traps that the chump
golfer is most inclined to dawdle,
dig his feet in so deep he all but
takes root. and practice a swing
that got him-eut Of trap once
years ago. With the gate in USE
he will be backed in, faced toward
the 9rcen and, before he can launch
into his endless maneuyerS, the gate
sprung.
The Job Of starter will open a
new field TO veteran professionals.
Just as a racing starter pushes the
button when the horses are in line
and set, the golf starter will ring
the bell when the dub gets his head
