Salary Clash Prompts Doubts on Oshkosh Baseball Rules
The Oshkosh state league club plans to hire manager Pink Hawley at $3,000 for four months next season, raising questions about a $1,300 monthly cap for the entire team and whether other clubs must follow suit. If Oshkosh skirts the limit, other teams may push back, reshaping rosters and salaries across the Wisconsin-Illinois league. Madison baseball stockholders weigh a plan to cover a $2,000 deficit by 20 investors, each paying $200 to gain control of the majority stake.
