Sexton Re elected President Of Minor Leagues
M H Sexton of Rock Island Illinois was reelected president of the National Association of Minor Leagues by unanimous vote at Memphis. The meeting considered an agreement with the Californian state league and the admission of the outlaw league, with changes to classifications and territory rules likely delayed until 1911. A committee was named to revise the association's agreement and arbitration approved the outlaw admission under conditions retaining many outlaw players in the California State league for two to four years.
