Minor Leagues Get All They Ask For
The National Baseball Commission ended its eighth annual meeting in Cincinnati with minor leagues winning every demand. Class AA will rank between major and Class A, including the International, American Association and Pacific Coast leagues. Drafting rules and fees rose for lower classes, reserve list limits were set, and the annual assessment for minor leagues was scrapped. Major league pay limits for probationary players were established, and exhibition play in minor league towns without home club consent was restricted. August Herrmann was re elected chairman, with John F. Bruce and Joseph Flanner named secretary positions.
