Annual Row Over Draft May Result in Bolt by Double A Leagues
Three powerful Class AA leagues the International Pacific Coast and American Association threaten to withdraw from the National Association over draft legislation at the Toronto meeting. President Branham of the Piedmont Class C League proposes that any player first signing with a draft league be subject to the draft, potentially limiting AA star sales. AA owners argue the plan would erode draft prices and threaten investments in ballparks franchises and contracts totaling over a million dollars per club. Voting at Toronto will be by leagues with a nearly empty Class D ballot.

Draft price clash alters major and minor leagues
Horweens of Harvard and Class AA investors clash over draft economics. The AA circuits push to raise the draft price from 5000 to 10000 while majors suggest 7500. A modified rule keeps players with major status out of the draft from the minors, unless they have four years in the minors or have not been up. Jim Perry of Indianapolis travels toward Toronto with Betzel and Corriden arriving after Buffalo. Secretary Claver to arrive later.
