Bonuses Could Be On Way Out
In a brief joint session Tuesday the two major baseball leagues agreed on a program to curb excessive bonuses, streamline minor league clubs, and plan for the future. Commissioner Ford Frick said it would take 10 years to standardize league operations and that bonus and minor league issues could be resolved. He noted the 1962 All Star game was awarded to the Washington Senators and said decisions on multiple All Star games would come after a December meeting. Frick plans a committee to craft bonus legislation and sought a system to maintain enough minor league teams to supply talent to 20 major league clubs.
