Equally heartened major league officials headed .for Chicago where they begin their own sessions Mon day. Beyond doubt the biggest fac tor in healing the long standing breach was the special S500.000 fund set aside by major league club owners to aid distressed minor league operators.' '.

Paul said he would try' to work out some way to help Cooper and the Columbus official said . he would await the help. At Thursday's concluding ses sion, the minors voted to leave" the bonus rule untouched and j to cut down major league rost-! ers io 28 men by opening day. i Currently, the rnajors carry 40 men on opening day and pare down tq 25. a month after the start of the seasqn.
