Plan Goes Before Joint Meeting Of League Tomorrow
New York December 10 Commissioner A B Chandler joined the Major Leagues west to expand each league from eight to ten teams. He plans to present the 10 club plan at the joint major league meeting tomorrow with the National and American leagues. The coast league issue was discussed as winter meetings began with the National league reportedly opposing PCL requests. The American league is expected to take similar action. If agreed the big four clubs of Los Angeles San Francisco Hollywood and Oakland would push to buy territorial release from the PCL to enter the majors. Frick elected to a four year term as National League president and Harridge was re elected American League president for ten more years earning about forty thousand dollars annually.
