Minor League
Draft Issue
To Be Talked
. ' By JIMMY. JORDAN
CHICAGO, July 23 OP) That
old argument concerning the
worth of a class AA player to
a major league team is he
-worth $7,500 or $15,000 or some
figure in between in the annual
draft may be officially
thrashed out here today.
Clarence B. (Pants) Rowland
plans to be very vociferous on
that subject at the sessions of
major and minor league com
mittees. Possible revisions in
the major-minor league agree
ment are the official topics.
Rowland. Dresident of the Pa
cific Coast league and a mem
ber of the minor league commit
tee, plans to push that point
hardest when the group works
on possible cnanges in tne old
code.
"The majors draft our ball
players when they have reach
ed their peak at $7,500," Row
land said today. "They're worth
more than that to us. Not only
that, but if it wasn't for the
draft regulations, our clubs
could sell their contracts to
major league teams for a lot
more. The draft price should be
doubled.
Aside from Rowlands pro
ject, the only other business on
the agenda that members of
either the major or minor league
committees would discuss was
possible legislation for insuring
tne integrity ot minor league
territorial rights.

Joe McCarthy
Will Probably
Quit Baseball
NEW YORK, July 23 (7P
Joe McCarthy will finish the
current season as manager of
the New York Yankees but the
man who led the Bronx Bomb
ers to eight pennants and seven
world series victories probably
will be out of baseball in 1946.
Indications that Marse Joe had
contemplated resignation last
winter because of ill health were
brought to light for the first
time yesterday when President
Larry MacPhall and McCarthy
denied reports he had quit.
Discussing the illness that
kept McCarthy from his club
Saturday and Sunday, MacPhall
said. "Joe told Ed Barrow he
wanted to quit last winter but
he felt people would think he re
signed when I took over, so he
changed his mind.
"He is upset at the way the
club has been going and hasn't
been able to sleep sinco Wed
nesday. His physician advised
mm to rest lor a while.
You moy think you have a
sood that does everything, but
If you want to keep your fire
record clean It Is better to de
pend on common sense. Give
serious thought to your fire.
