South Atlantic Clubs
Will Seek Rating

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AUGUSTA, Ga, Nov. 3.-Before
next season opens, the South At
lantic Baseball League will ask the
National Association for B-1
rating. If granted, it will be the
first such rating in organized ball.
A B-1 rating would provide the
eight clubs with the necessary struc-
ture to draft players from B leagues.
The South Atlantic now is a B
league. The rating also would re-
quire higher player salaries and In
creased assessments against men,
ber clubs.
Decision to seek the new rating
was reached at the Board of Direc-
tors annual meeting here yesterday
The board also approved a proposal
for 140 games again next year,
openers to be played in reversed
locations, compared with last season.
Thus Augusta would be host to
Columbus, Macon to Jacksonville,
Columbia to Greenville and Savan-
nah to Charleston.
The season would end on Labor
Day under the proposal, expected to
be ratified at Jacksonville meeting
next month.
