SALARY LIMIT TO
BE DISCUSSED
Trenton Falls Into Line For
Change in Individual
Figure

That the TriState League will have
more to do than to adopt its schedule
and award the eighth franchise to
York at the next meeting in this city
on February "a now seems evident. as
there is going TO be another attack on
the present salary limit rule with more
than one club, Harrisburg, in favor
of a change.
From Trenton comes word that An
drew J. Lynch. tho new owner of the
Tigers. and Manager Percy Stetler are
strongly opposed TO the individual
limit being placed at 5000 a month and
say Il will act as a detriment TO every
club IN the long run. While the new
Trenton officials are satisfied with the
$4,000 limit they feel that every mani
ager should be the judge Of what he
should pay each player. the same
argument put up at the recent meeting
Of the league by Manager George w.
Heckert and Representative Tunis Of
the Harrisburg club.
Harrisburg. like Trenton, is satisfied
with the monthly limit but Manager
Heckert figures that by paying several
oughly sum that will satisfy them
and then filling mp the gaps with young
players, these Young men viii learn
the game more rapidly and will be-
come greater assets for the various
clubs at the clos of the season when
the major leagues are looking for men
Ia purchase and draft If the teams
must carry an entire aggregation OF
young players they will not develop as
fast as with some old stars to lead
them and show ehe finer points Of the
game. Then there are men who gave
the Tri- state their services i'm the war
days and have been loyal ever since,
men who are worth more than 5000 to
any club, yet mus. and would rather
remain ir the Tri-Siate than play any
where else Then. too, there are star
players who may hc secured at high
er salary. men who would prove attrac-
lions In every city on the circuit and
more than make IN the Xtra amount

LAVE CROSS LOSES
HIS ENTIKE TEAM

Some Glass A and b league managers
make an awful fuss when they lose a
player or two and make excuses that their
teams have been wrecked in case they fail
to start out winning in the springtime.
What would these managers do IL they
were in the fix that Lave Cross. the form
err Athletic captain, and sometime resident
Of Sussex county, Delaware. finds himself
in this spring.
Lave managed the Shamolgin Club the
Atlantic League last year. when he joined
the team IL was a hopeless taiiender.
When he quit IN the fan he had the cham
pions Of the league IL was an outlaw
league. however. and every man he had
was grabbed away from him by some
club higher up. Centernelder strunk going
to the Athletics and Pitcher Van Dyke to
the Phillles.
So as nucleus Of team for the com
ing season. Cross has only himself OF the
championship winners. But. nevertheless
he expects to place another winner on the
field this season. He has his team about
complete. Il includes two Cleveland boys
Duvie. who pitched for the County Engi-
neers, and Welf. the former Glenvine
High southpaw. who has since pitched for
the McWatters-Dolans. OF the City League
and the Wiliamsport team OF the Tri-
State League.
1T sure is tough to get a championship
team together and then lose every man
without getting a cent for them" said
Cross the other day in Cleveland. "but
that is the penalty of being In am outlaw
league I was hoping that they would get
under organized baseball this year, but it
does not look ms II they would. shamolSin
