Baseball Bonus Rule
Is Upheld by Minors
After Majors Repeal
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 13.-
Despite major league opposition,
the controversial bonus rule will
remain a part of organized base
ball law.
The minor loops, in country
wide ballot, decreed today the
rule should be retained. The
majors at their recent meeting
voted repeal of the much-debated
regulation, but today's action by
the "bushers" nullifled the major
loop decision.
Failure of the minors to repeal
the rule was construed by some
baseball people as a slap at Com
missioner A. B. Chandler.
Forced Second Vote.
1t was the commissioner who
actually forced a second vote by
the minors, for it was he who cast
the deciding vote-in favor of
repeal-when the National and
American Leagues found them
selves hopelessly deadlocked last
December.
George M. Trautman, president
of the National Association of Pro-
fessional Baseball Leagues, said Is
of the minor loops voted to retain
the bonus setup, while 33 leagues
opposed it and one passed it's vote.
Three-fourths of the SO minor
leagues had to oppose the bonus
to GUST the rule from the books.
AT the recent minor league meet
ing in Baltimore, 80 loops voted
for repeal of the law, while rs
opposed repeal.
Yesterdays vote. in which the
minors reaffirmed their stand, was
requested after the majors had
declined to concur in the previous
bush loop action.
Rule Written in 1916.
The bonus rule was written into
the books in 1916, but has been
amended a couple of times since.
Under the original rule. a club
paying a bonus to a free agent, to
obtain his signature to contract,
was forced to keep that player
on it's roster.
Now the club has the privilege
of farming the bonus player out
for one year, but his contract may
not be assigned outright to a club
of lower classification unless
waivers, which may not be with
