Dec. 5 (P) Base ball notables, here for the minor league .convention that opens to morro,w,are determined to lay the foundation for a new order in the. game in the same city where they agreed to operate under the present major-minor agreement 23 years ago. At a banquet held in early I December, 1921, Commissioner K. M. Landis, after one year in office, mode his first appearance i before the 26 minor leagues to ! map out-plans for major-minor I unity. - He warned them of the i grave problems confronting baseball and was especially critical of the draft and the ter ritorial problems. Today Judge Landis is gone, but there are still 26 leagues, although only 10 are operating, and the minors face the same problems. Resigned to the fact that due to Landis' death, the major-minor code automatically extend; to January 12, 1946, the lower leagues arc prepared to give full consideration to 13 amendments to the major-minor agreement Chief of these are the draft and the territorial problem. Proposed by the AA Pacific Coast league, an amendment calls for the doubling of the draft price from $7500 to $15, 000. With an eye on develop ments after the war, the coast loop also proposed a more iron clad territorial protection. As the rules stand, a major league may go into a minor league tcr ritory by the payment of $5000 to the league and of a reasonable amount to the affected club as determined by agreement, or fixed by the commissioner.
