100 players who at one time or another
were playing in the former outlaw or
ganization.
It was not until three years ago that
the Tri-State got protection. Previous to
that time immense salaries were paid.
| considering ii was only minor league
some Of the players receiving as much as
500 and $500 a month. AS a result Of
these high salaries. many players jumped
to the new organization, which gave the
Tri-state exceptionally fast ball for SO
small a league. and made 1t the talk
OF the baseball world Although the out
laws put up a strong fight for several
years, the extravagant pace was too
nueh for the hackers. and. therefore.
they sought and secured protection.
For the first three years the class of
baseball in the Tri-State was admitted to
be as fast as any league in the country
with the exception of the two major
| leagues. and although many players have
been lost by cuts in salaries and by be-
ing drafted. the playing is stin very fast
| for a minor league.
