Text | [reporting on the Arbitration Committee meeting of 11/11] It was expected that the new classification scheme of Mr. Spalding would be introduced, and it was. This scheme was to classify all minor league cities according to their population, and have a definite salary limit. Then, if a major league club desired a player he must be released at a week's notice and at a stipulated amount already agreed upon. The different minor leagues were to be apportioned into four classes, with a separate salary limit for each. After the scheme was presented the representatives of the Western and Atlantic Associations attacked it so fiercely that the International delegates had no opportunity to express their views before Mr. Spalding came forward and said he would withdraw it. |
