Text | The minor leagues continue to fall by the wayside. The last to go is the Indiana League. It is the same old story of big salaries, big railroad jumps and small gate receipts. When will the managers of the minor leagues learn economy? It seems that when a city has decided to put a club in the field the only thing figured on is getting a winning team at any cost. The result is, each club has a salary list which would wreck a mint. There can be but one result, and after June has been tided over, so as to get in the Fourth of July games, the leagues gradually disappear until only a small percentage of them finish the season. The majority of those that do finish have quite a balance on the wrong side of the ledger. |
