manuVerlng.
Lou Novikoff of the Chicago
Cubs was slipped out of the Nation
al League and sent back to the
minors last year. Any other team
in the circuit would have paid plen-
ty for him. The American League
waived on Zeke Bonura so Wash
ington could sell him to the Giants
- a reputed "gentlemen's agree
ment'' among the American Lea
que execs SO that Clark Griffith
would consnt to putting light for
night games into Griffith Stadium.
How do they manage to get good
players waived out?
"It's easy, really one New
York executive explained. You
just keep asking waivers on a play
err that will bring a fine price.
Sure, they'll all put in for him at
the $500, tag but you just with
draw him from the market. Keep
putting him up and after while
all the other honers in your league
figuring you won't let him 60 at the
waiver price, fail to put in claim.
Then you're clear and you sell him
out of the league"
That's what MacPhail did, and
if any of the others had done il
they would have considered it a
smart piece of business. The. trou.
BILE is that now the shoe is on the

Baseball C m m sioner A..
B Happy Chandler probably
isn't too joyous tonight as he in
vestigates the Yankee sale of pitch.
or Hank Borowy to the Chicago
Cubs.
The Commissioner has declared
that he will mark the sale null and
void if he finds anything detri.
mental to baseball. If he does that
he'll have to declare the major lea.
que waiver rule null and void, too,
which undoubtedly would be food
thing.
Larry MacPhais, President of
tbe Yanks, didn't do any more
wrong - or any more right - than
any other executive in the majors
when he finally got waivers on
Borowy and sold him out of the
league. It's big business chain
gang deal that has existed for
years.
The way the waiver rule works
is this. If you want to sell Joe
Bloke to another league or to the
minors you ask waivers.
If somebody in your league
claims old Joe, why you just with
draw him and try again some time
to catch the rest of the clubs nap
ping. If nobody puts in a claim
then you can sell him at your own
price, instead of letting him 60 in
your own league for a paltry ST..
500.
The only exceptions are 10-yea,
men in the majors. They dom
have to 90 TO the minors.
MacPhail didn't start this under
stand. They're giving him fits be
cause he slipped winning pitcher
