Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-07-08
BY LAYTON CARVER

international News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK. July 8.-After two
years, the silliest, most short
sighted and least sporting rule ever
devised by the baseball people
finally will come off the books at
the end OF this season. when the
American League will go back 10
the traditional idea behind sports
in this country and let the cham
pion stay on top until better
team comes along.
They're wiping out the nonsense
perpetrated in 1899. prohibiting
the pennant-winner from making
trades except on waivers.
Assuming that baseball is sports
as well as big business, that rule
never should have been adopted
and everybody. including the Ma
tional League. knew it at the time.
The latter refused to have any
part of IL and the American tactily
admits its error in the dispatches
from Detroit revealing that the
magnates have decided TO wipe out
the only baseball legislation ever
designed TO stop one specific team.
