IB EVERY CLUB PROTECTED Smaller Organisation Will Benefit From Resolution National Com mission and Two Majors Ave Expected to Adopt. BT w. J. yrTsaix. Tha National Association of Profes sional Baseball Leagues votd last weak to Incrsasa th clas rating of tha Pselflo Coast League, Eastern Leagu and American Association to that of AA and In so doing the base ball orranlsatlon itsto the leagues only vhit they were entitled to. Hitherto tbere had been fire Class A leagues, but In point of efficiency as veil as population, the Southern and Vntirg lealtues were not on a par lth tho three bis; minor leagues ad vanced a class higher. Tha new rating gives the three leagues advanced the privilege of drafting from the Southern and West em lescues by paytng the regular Class A drsft price for players select ed. Thl price Is $1000. The major leagues, as soon as the National Com mission and the American and Na tional league ratify the new ratine, which they will undoubted'.y do. mut pay 11500 for players drafted from the Class AA organisation. see The advantage rained by the ad vance In classification is not so much benefit to the league raised as will be the resolution adopted relative to the purchase of players la midseason. This resolution requires all major learue clubs to recognise the purchase of players In midseason by the minor InrnM when these players are select ed for future delivery. As an Instance of how the rule may work the following; may be cited: Portland purchased In fielder Mclmwell from a Class C team. and paid I7S0 for blm to be delivered next Spring. Under old conditions a major learue club could have drafted McDowell for 1300 from the Class C team, and that club stood to lose IIS0 by the trans action bad such a draft been made. Under the new rule, if adopted by the major organisations, the bis; learners will have to draft the player ' from the blrher class minor learue. This method protects all clubs In the transaction. In tbs past the major learues bars been able to purchase players In the . lesser learues and allow them to fin 1st) out the season with their respect ive clubs, but the higher clasa minor learue teams dolns; likewise stood to lose the purchased player by draft, and the lower claas team to lose the ad vanre In the purchase price over the regular draft prlc of Its circuit, which was an injustice all around. e "The Increase In ratlnr riven the Pacific Coast and the two othsr blr minor learues. said Judjre McCredle, yesterday. was certainly due these organisations. The Western and Southern leagues are hardly entitled to higher classifi cation than the Northwestern Learua The Western and Southern leagues are left In Claas A Each of them has everal towna listed at less than 60.000 population, whereas the Northwestern ln has only one town with less than that number of Inhabitants. All of the others have 100.000 or more with one exception, and that one Is close to the century mark." MKTEU TEAM IS SELECTED Intereriiolastie All-Stars to Play Australian Boys.
