American League Adopts Schedule and Ends Fraternity Ties
The American League voted to sever relations with the Baseball Players Fraternity after alleging repeated violations of an agreement. The 1917 schedule was adopted, with no rule changes, and proposals for military training at spring camps were approved in spirit as part of a national safety effort. The commission denied removing draft rules for AA and A clubs despite other requests. Three pitchers signed 1917 contracts: Shawkey, Harper, and Rudolph. Tinker’s Columbus club purchased Wade Killifer and Bob Harmon.
