O Connor Rules Against Newsom Bonus Claim
Lessie M. O Connor, head of the major league advisory council, voided L N Buck Newsom’s 1500 bonus claim against the St. Louis Browns. The ruling bans noncontract bonuses and imposes fines from 100 to 500 for bad practice. Newsom transferred from Brooklyn in 1945 after receiving 1000 for reporting and an anticipated 1900 based on 1943. The bulletin says the Browns’ president Donald L Barnes had discretion over the bonus and Newsom sought a trade after a poor season.
