Salary limits risk sidelining veterans in Texas league
Club owners at the Texas league meeting planned for 1913 rosters dominated by veterans with at least one season in the league. A salary cap of 2500 dollars looms, prompting talk of downward pay revisions while teams seek cost effective rosters. One owner suggested three or four veterans plus cheaper recruits to end the season with gains through trades, a plan unlikely in San Antonio due to President Black retaining most of the 1912 squad. The Nags and new recruits give San Antonio a strong pennant bid despite revenue doubts.
