During the past drafting season there were sixty-nine players drafted by the two major league clubs, and of that number twenty-seven have already been sent back to the minor leagues. The Class AA and A clubs claimed all of these twenty-seven, and it is more than likely that there will also be many more who will be given trials by the big league clubs during the spring training season and who may later be turned back to the minors. Of the twenty-seven players thus far sent back seventeen of them advanced in their profession, a tribute to the sagacity, wisdom and impartiality of the members of the National Commission. The decision, as announced by Chairman Herrmann of the National Commission pertaining to this return of drafted players, is as follows: ------------|-----------------|----------|-----------|-------------- Clubs. | League. | Players. | Drafted | Drafted By | | | From | ------------|-----------------|----------|-----------|-------------- Louisville |American Asso. |Stansbury |Louisville |St. Louis N.L.
