CANNOT TRY
YOUNG PLAYERS
Tri-StatC Salary Rule Oper-
ateS Against the Custom
This Year

Another disadvantage that the salary
limit is working upon managers in the
Tri-State League is becoming evident
at this time. usually curing the last
month or five weeks OF the league sea,
son a manager tries out young players.
new blood for the team for the coming
season. With the present salary limit
in vogue in the Tri-State a manager
is unable TO secure a youngster to try
out unless he releases some one Of the
men he has on hand, which upon its
face is ridiculous. About this tins
last year all the clubs were trying out
youngsters, several of whom were sign
ed. Now the different managers
know where to get few good boys
but they are unable to try them out
because to do so they must release
some men which at this time is out of
the question. The managers all over
the circuit are hoping that some revis-
ion viii be made in the rule GOVERNS
this point before the present week is
up.
