Tri-State Manager Has
Good Salary Scheme

One of a Tri-State managers schemes
with a player who wanted more money
than the rules would allow was to
shake dice with him. The manager
would say to the player. for instance:
TN bet you 500 to 81 that I can
throw three skies"
OF course, the ball player would take

the manager. and as he had only one
chance In a million or SO to win he
wouldn't even have to glance at the
would hand over the 500 to the player
Thus the player would be satisfied and
no baseball rule would be broken.
Various other schemes were used, all
of which were devised by the men who
were supposed to be eager to maintain
the salary limit.
