Rickey backs Kefauver draft bill for new leagues
Continental League president Branch Rickey endorsed a revised Kefauver Bill curtailing major league player operations and enabling a new major league. The measure would grant an unrestricted draft for minor leaguers with four years' service and promote nationwide expansion. Rickey cited equal talent distribution and a ban on the bonus system as public benefits. Negotiations with the International League over franchises Toronto and Buffalo ended without progress after IL demands of 350000 per club remained unchanged.
