Major Leagues Crack Down On Bonus Payment New York. Felt. 1 I UP! TakInp u hu*lne*s a* usual attltud* . the major league* moved today to crack down on member* in their midst with overloaded bankrolls a* well as the bumper crop of rooklee flusb d by the si*, lit of victory money. A «pe<ial committee of the two league* recommended for adoption at the major'* meeting op ning today a rule that any player paid a bonus for signing Im* made sulc ject lo the waiver rule if bis employer* decide hi- has not. or can not. make the grade In other wonts, a prize rookie picked off the campus of some college or the loom lira of a spinning mill cannot be bought up for a neat cum and then farmed out for his prep work. The St Ixuiis Cardinals, for Instance, could not give a played a bonus for signing and then farm him out to Columbus without the rest of th' club in the league passing on him. The celebrated case in point was Dick Wakefield of the Detroit Tigers had him out to posture for University of Michis|n tampti? for 352.000 (with an autmoblle thrown in. some people say I. The Tigers had hi snout to pasture for two year* before he came Into Brigg* Stadium as a star The majors' n commendation was in line with the minor league's recent application of a flat ban on bonuses-for-slgiiing. The meeting* <»f the major leagues coincides with a gath* ring of numerous minor circuits and the big town will boom with baseball for the next three or four days. o Notional Basketball League Standings Eastern Division W L Pet.
