Suspended Leagues
May Sign Players
For Next Season

DURHAM, Aug. 10 P) -
Judge W. G. Bra mham. minor
league chief, announced today
that suspended leagues which
file 4 declaration to operate
next season and qualify under
the rules of the National As
seciation, may start signing
players either as free agents
or by purchase September l.
His statement said this also
applies to newly organized
leagues, but added that men,
bers of such leagues cannot
sell player contracts until the
minor league convention in
December when legislation
covering the situation will be
proposed.
Originally, October 1 had
been designated as the date
such clubs might start signing
players, but the date was adj
vanced because of the turn of
the war. Bramham said pres
ent conditions are resulting in
many players being discharg-
ed from the service, while
many others are being releas-
ed from frozen jobs.
