Major League Leaders In Inactive Session
The winter meeting of the two major leagues and their joint session closed with little action. Jurisdiction over a September closing rested with league presidents, not club owners, making the 1930 dates likely April 15 to September 28. Trade talk was common but deals were scarce. Grover Cleveland Alexander returned to Philadelphia in a sentimental move, joining Harry McCurdy, Homer Peel, and Wally Schang in a series of swaps among the Phillies Athletics and Browns.
