this idea is agreed upon by the ma
jors, it will be operated in conjunc-
ton with the State high school ath-
letic associations.
A $500 fine on clubs signing boys
still eligible for high school ball was
also recommended.
Among other ideas were the for
nation of clinics for improvement
of umpiring, elimination of payment
of bonuses to free agents, with SUBJ

of the sales price to players assigned

playing rules.
Also coming up was resolution
Of j. Kemp Bartlett. secretary of
Baltimore's International League
club, that a committee be formed
to meet with football owners to
erase overlapping schedules of the
two sports.
Most important OF the amend
ments adopted, all of which must
be concurred in by the mai
leagues, dealt with the draft and
territorial problems.
The agreement on $4,000 for a
Glass AA player, an increase of only
1919 per cent instead of the original
100 per cent, was felt by observers
to be conciliatory gesture to the
majors. However, passing of an
amendment giving the minors the
right to buy the franchise of any
invading major league club clearly
stated the minor leagues intention
to protect their territory.
The only amendment defeated
(five were withdrawn was that
sponsored by the Southern Associa-
ton which would have permitted
the Class Al and A leagues to pay
bonuses to returning servicemen.
