Minor Leagues Demand Changes In Ball System
New York oct 28 minor leagues refuse to join a proposed Lasker plan for baseball reorganization unless radical changes are made. Officials say the scheme gives government without representation and graft, with the minors gaining no voice despite control of players and territory. They oppose a major league chosen board, urging full control of their own affairs and equal influence in relations with majors. The conflict centers on the commission’s composition and funding, with criticism of appointing “national repute” figures paid from World Series receipts. A Kansas City meeting is planned to vote on alterations before the November 1920 deadline.
