Backed by an overwhelming ma-

the thirtieth annual convention
today and ready to complete their
plans for a drastic reorganization
of the association—a reorganization
which would oust the present ad-
ministration body and replace it
with a committee of five club own-
ers with absolute powers of man-
agement and control.
The showdown of their fight was
definitely set for today and not
one member of the old regime
headed by President Mike Sexton
had any hopes of retaining his
lowers Only because seme -rebel-
minded" owners wanted o get more
information about the reorganiza-
tion plan was the movement post-
poned from yesterday.
Under the plan Sexton president
for 22 years would be reared with
a full years salary and the com-
mittee. three members from the
Class AA league and the other
two from Class B and D leagues
placed in full charge for a year
during which it would make recom-
mendations.
The committee would be d reeted
to create a central purchas.ng
agency for all minor league supplies
make contracts toward general re-
habilitation and to map camnaigns
to give minor learue baseball a
wider appeal.
