Peace Pact Matter Re-Opened in Baseball Draft Talks
The draft peace pact between the major leagues and the American Association was pulled from Landis files and sent back for reconsideration. Kansas City Blues president George Muehlebach demanded a special meeting, with American Association president Thomas Jefferson Hickey agreeing to hold one though no date is set. Five clubs accepted the draft by mail vote, while Louisville, Kansas City and Minneapolis rejected, risking a renewal of baseball conflict. The proposal would have majors pay 7600 dollars per selected player and delay drafting until players gain at least four years in professional or minor leagues.
