Association President Frank C. Lane said yesterday that his league would not take exception to the coast league seeking major ma-jor league rank but added emphatically em-phatically that he did not believe there was any justification for the PCL seeking a higher minor league rating than the American association and the International league. "We also would very definitely take exception to the Pacific Coast league not being subject to drafting of " players unless the American- association is granted such a privilege," Lane said. "However, we are not seeking any such privileges and the association associa-tion is much more concerned with continually maintaining -its rejr utation of being the best triple-A league in the country ratherfhan aspiring to major league status.
