United Baseball Association Will Hold Draft

NEW YORK, NY. March 15, 1912 - The United Baseball Association issued a bulletin yesterday that was met with both positive and negative reactions.

In the American and National Leagues, amateur players are free to sign with the highest bidder. Proponents of the system say it's just capitalism at work, but many believe it's just the "rich getting richer."

In this new system that the UBA will use, a five-round draft will disperse the best amateur players to professional teams. The draft order will be ordered by the previous seasons record, worst to best. This will allow teams that struggle to enhance their future by having a higher draft selection.
