Major League Players to Decide on Rule Change in Cincinnati
Major league player representatives meet in Cincinnati this week to decide on two issues. First, whether to abolish the March 1 deadline for starting trading. Second, whether J Norman Lewis should be named permanent attorney for the players’ group. The current rule, pushed by players, barred clubs from spring training before March 1, drew fines on Milwaukee Braves and Kansas City Athletics. The players are expected to push abolition, lengthening camp time by 10 days to two weeks next spring.
