Player Draft Is Formalized In Major League Baseball
CHICAGO Baseball's four year player draft was formalized by a six man committee led by Commissioner Ford Frick. Adopted in Colorado Springs last December the rule allows a club to draft any number of players with four years minor league experience at 25000 per man, replacing the prior limit of one at 10000. The aim is to deter teams from keeping potential major leaguers in the minors, with effective date at the next December draft. If returned to the minor club a drafted player brings back 12500. Other attendees included Warren Giles Will Harridge George Trautman Trautman's assistant Phil Piton and Charles Segar.
