Salary limits set for minor leagues amid convention clash
A week long fight over fixing payrolls ended as an amendment allowed class AA leagues to set their own salary maximums. The ruling, adopted at the 31st annual National Association of Professional Leagues convention, also established player limits by class across leagues and restructured the executive committee. Pacific Coast League magnates backed the amendment amid disputes with American and International League owners. The action includes payroll caps of 4680, 2000, 1800, and 14-18 player limits per class, with a central shift to new arbitration leadership.
