rfoEDFORD-kTRIBCNZ Baseball Cracking Down On Money-Laden Outfits New York, Feb. 1 (U.R) Tak ing a business as usual attitude, the major leagues moved today to crack down on members in their midst with overloaded bankrolls as well as the bumper crop of rookies flushed by the sight of victory money. A special committee of the two leagues recommended for adop tion at the majors' meeting open ing today a rule that any player paid a bonus for signing be made subject to the waiver rule if his employers decide he has not, or can not, make the grade. In other words, a prize rookie picked off the campus of some college or the loom line of a spinning mill cannot be bought up for a neat sum and then farmed out for his prep work. The St. Louis Cardinals, for in stance, could not give a player a bonus for signing and then farm him out to Columbus with out the rest of the clubs in the league passing on him. The celebrated case in point was Dick Wakefield of the De troit Tigers who was signed off the University of Michigan cam pus for $52,000 (with an auto mobile thrown in, some people say). The Tigers had him out to pasture for two years before; he came Into Briggs stadium as a star. The majors' recommendation was in line with the minor leagues', recent application of a flat ban on bunuses-for-signing. The meeting of the major leagues coincides with a gather ing of numerous minor circuits and the big town will boom with baseball for the next three or four days. Sgt. Bob Kenaston, former marine from Gold Hill and ex junior heavyweight champion of the world, has decided to at tempt a wrestling comeback and has issued a challenge to any one, Promoter Mack Lillard said today. Joe Lynam, coast champion, and Jack Lipscomb have been signed for the six-round main event. Lipscomb has been after a rematch ever since losing to the Redmond flash two weeks ago. Lynam took the belt from the ex-Hoosier some time ago.
