Baseball Would Limit
Bonuses 10 $4,000,
Starting Next Year
By the Associo.ed Press


NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Payment
of fancy 100000 bonuses to un-
tried youngsters to sign with
major league baseball clubs may
be sharply curtailed in 1858.
Major and minor league clubs
at their joint December meeting
in Phoenix, Ariz, will be asked to
vote on a proposed new bonus rule
that would restrict such payments
to $4,000 tops"
The new proposal follows the
shelling out of vast sums by major
league clubs on green talent dur
ing the past several years. During
the past 18 months, for instance,
the Boston Red Sox spent some
$430,0 for high school and col
lege stars.
Two of the highest bonus play
ers are Pitchers Paul Petit and
Billy Joe Davidson. Petit, prop
erty of Pittsburgh, received an
estimated 100000. Davidson re-
portedly received $120,000 for
casting his lot with Cleveland.
Neither has yet made the majors.
The new proposal was drawn up
yesterday by a special recommen-
dation committee of the games
Major Minor Executive Council.
Committee members and the
council met in Commissioner Ford
Frick's Office here. Afterwards
they refused to say what was dis
cussed, but it was learned that the
bonus was the main topic of dis
cussion.
The new proposal provides:
/. Each major league club
owner would agree-in sort OF
a "gentlemen's agreement not
to offer a bonus exceeding $4,000
to any player.
2. Violation of this agreement
would subject the transgressor to
a years suspension. $500 fine
and loss of the player.
3. Minor league clubs would en-
ter into a similar agreement with
$4,000 the ceiling for open classi-
fication, Triple and Double A
and $4,000 for B, C and D organ
izationS.
4. All bonus players, regardless
of the amount they received, would
be subject to unrestricted draft
if not called up to their major
league club within one year.
5. Clubs would be forbidden to
make special payments to parents,
friends. relatives or agents in
forms of cash, homes or automo-
hileS.
