Rickey Sees Continental League Ready In Three Years
Branch Rickey, president of the proposed Continental League, says the new major circuit could play big league ball within three years even if it must recruit outside the current system. He envisions nationwide advertising and a possible annual player draft, aiming to pressure organized baseball to accept the league and break Kefauver bill resistance. Rickey cites scouting camps and a Western Carolina League testing ground as proof unsigned players exist, and warns failure to pass the Kefauver bill could force the Continental League to go independent.
