CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-The American
wague at its meeting here yesterday
declined to ratify the revised national
agreement. The liltch was over only
the clause referring to inter-league
waiving on drafted ball players. Al-
though one or two clubs were oppos-
ed to it, the meaning of the clause
was accepted. but President Johnson
said it was not worded just to suilV_
them and he was instructed to take it
up with Ilerrmann and put it' in clear-
or words then declare it ratified.
The new agreement provides that
clubs of both major leagues waive on
drafted players befort they can be re-
leased. The old agreement required
only that clubs waive on drafted play-
ers in their own league.
American League. owners yesterday
declared that they always have spent
more money in digging 11p new mu-
teriui than their rivals in the National.
They" also say they always have. had‘
more scouts out. They do not want
to become compelled to ask the Na-
tionul League niugnates for waivers-
