Or men and their sons i Wen s and Young men s footwear shops for Mitsn Malfe offt the particular Circle of connoisseurs new York a after three confused years it looks As if base Ball is going to toss out its Bonus Rule. The average fan probably will appreciate this move. He does t understand the Rule anyway. And the fan in t alone. There Are plenty of baseball men who Aren t sure about All the complicated regulations. The Bonus Rule is a set of regulations to govern the baseball life of exceptional players. It be Gan feb. 15, 1947. This code stretches from the lowest minor league through the majors. Since the regulations Are basically the same except for the Money involved this breakdown covers Only the majors. A Bonus player is one who 1. Was paid More than Cash for signing a contract with a major team or 2. Received anything Worth More Han for signing such As a House and car or 3.

If nobody wants the Guy his club then can Send him to a minor league. If somebody says Well take the club has to let him go. With any other player the club could change its mind and re move him from the waiver list. In other words no matter what a youngster s present ability the major league team must keep him on its roster or give him up to another club. He has no Chance for minor league seasoning. This is what soured the mag nates on the Rule. They had figured it would do away with fantastic payments to untried youngsters.
