No date was set for the | miners’ fall classie, but it probably |will open in the East, if the World’s |series starts in the West, and vice |versa if the majors stage their first two games in the East. | Before agreeing to the contin- uation of the Junior World's Series, the International League revamped the rules governing the Shaughnessy play-off for the Governors’ Cup, victory in which entitles the winning team to compete against the Ameri- can Association club, and vot- ed to create a $12,000 players’ pool, to be raised by a one-cent tax on admissions. The pool would be distributed on the following basis: $4,000 to the pennant winners, determined by the standing at the end of the regular reason; $2,000 for second place, $4,- 000 to the winners of the play-off and $2,000 in the runnersup in the |four-club Shaughnessy competition. | ———— C.
