[from Frank Brunell's column] Why not give the minor leagues full protection and a representation on the Arbitration Committee that can be handled? As a consideration for these privileges reserve the right to make a draft of players for the Association and League, at the end of each season. Limit the draft per club and agree on a price per player, which shall be paid by the club taking to the club losing him. Thus the clubs are compensated for their losses, salaries are controlled, and there will be no more $1,000 packages of young blood.
