the fall of the year all of the owners
reported a loss and the salary limit
was again cut 10 $1,000. A number
of stars we're lost, but the league
continued to deliver a fast article of
ball. Since that time the annual
meeting nearly every year has cut the
salary limit until last year it was
down TO S1,4O0.
The fans and players complained
bitterly against each salary cut, but
it was of no avail. The owners of the
several franchises claimed that the
gate was not meeting the expenses.
and they were forced TO pay lower
salaries or give up all altogether. The
league never played Sunday ball, eX-
cept the exhibition games which were
staged at Atlantic City in 1913. and
they were never of great profit other
class b leagues seemed 10 exist be-
cause they could play on Sundays.
Among the Tri-State ppnnant win
ners in the years past, up to 1911, the
team led by Bill Coughlin, the old Dc
troit third baseman, now managing
the Scranton New York State League
team. and George COckill, who has
been appointed an umpire in the Ma
