But Will Recommend
New Legislation

b. the Associated Press.
BELLEAIR, Fla, March 10
Baseball Commissioner K. M. Lands
has decided to recind for the time
being his ruling which prevented
major league clubs from sending
purchased players back to the
minors without obtaining waivers.
However, he said he would recon-
mend at the baseball rules meeting
in St. Petersburg March II that a
waiver requirement be adopted for
future operations.
He added that he believed such a
requirement was needed to give a
promising purchased player the same
opportunity to start in the majors
as drafted player, who can be sent
back to the minors only after waiv-
ers are obtained.
Lands explained last night that
application of the rule at present
would work hardships on clubs
which bought players with the ex-
pectation of being able to option
them out for seasoning without
waivers.
He said he made the ruling to
correct an injustice to young pur-
chased players, who could be farmed
to minor league clubs for three years
without getting chance with an
other major league club.
President Sam Breadon of the st
Louis Cardinals expressed gratiflca-
ton at reinstatement of the old
system. He said the waiver rule
confused us because we had made
all our arrangements under the old
law, and the fact that the new rule
was retroactive made it very hard
on u.s."
Gerry Nugent, owner of the Phil
adelphia Phillies, commented:
There's little doubt more players
will be given tryouts in the majors,
since owners won't have to obtain
waivers on those who are not suf-
ficiently developed"

Fresh from a scintillating victory

last Saturday night, Walter Mehl,

in history tonight in the eighth
annual Catholic University games

Not since the days of the old

1t is regrettable that Mehl (pro-

Walter snapped the yarn in 4:104

definite favorite in his subsequent
races this winter, since lonesome
John MunSki of Missouri hasn't won

Mehl credited his K. of C. victory
to considerable amount of sprint

won the national championship. His
coach backed that up by saying Wal
