DiamondAgrees On New Policy NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (IP) Baseball is one happy family today with the major league's policy committee, reporting "agreement in. principle'' between players and owners on proposed contract efTheS'diamond social revolution, mild in form, will cost the magnates more money in 1947. There can be no question about that. But in the long run, if the improved owner-player relations can snap the union threat and end the Mexican raids, the mag nates will consider it cash well spent. High on the list of matters to be discussed at yestcrduy s parley between the six-man policy committee, representing the owners, and the six-man player group was a minimum wage. The National league athletes had asked for $5500 and the Ameri can had set no figure.

He included the min imum salary. Because the owners believed it would be better to keep se cret the exact details of their agreements until the August 27 meetings in Chicago, the exact minimum make is not known. The players will also get an allotment to cover incidental expenses during spring training. MacPhail indicated it would not be the S5 per day that was asked, a sum he estimated would run into $150,000 per year. Pension Okayed A pension plan is another definite development although its nature will depend on me reports of actuaries who may require several months for an investigation. Before the own ers and atnictes can oeciue whether to raise the money oy a series of inter-league games or by assessments, they first must determine how much cash will be needed. That is the im mediate problem. . Of more than passing inter est was MacPhail's word that there was no move to aiscara the reserve clause of the con tract by which the players are hnnnH "to the same club, year after year. The New York Yan kee president saia tne pia n tnM him less than 1 per cent of their group was in favor of such a radical move. Although there was mucn talk earlier about the player sharing in the sale price when his contract was iransiem-u, the matter did not come before the joint committee.

If there is anything 1 can do, I'll be glad to do it." Asked if he would take I Mickey tack into the Dodger told. Rickey answered: "That's something I can not discuss now. It's up to Commis sioner Chandler to rule on his case first." Chandler, at the time Jorge Pasquel and his four brothers were recruiting U. S. players for their Mexican league, stated that players who jumped south of the border could not be re instated for five years. Leo Would Like It Manager Leo Durocher. as sur prised as anyone over the latest development, was asked if he would like to get Owen back. Said Leo: "Personally and as a player, I would be glad to see him with the Dodgers again. But it's up to Mr. Rickey and Commissioner Chandler." At Mexico City yesterday Ger ardo Pasquel expressed "com plete surprise" at the report that he had jumped back to the United States. Luis Olmo, formerly wiih the Dodgers and Danny Gardella, ex-New York Giant player, who have been Owen's teammates at Vera Cruz, said he was not at his apartment when they stopped by to pick him up.
