Laugh on Magnates as Long-Term Contracts Dominate Baseball
Frank G Menke argues that long-term, high-salary contracts will force major league clubs to endure heavy payrolls into 1916 and 1917 regardless of Federal action. He notes players signed two to four year deals and predicts salaries will fall to about 3000 to 4000 as the market adjusts. Magnates hope to regain control, but players expect a windfall in 1914 and a salary crash once long-term deals expire.
