"In early 1911 Crown Point became a founding franchise of the Northern Indiana Baseball Association, which set the maximum pay for a pitcher at “$12.50 per game and a catcher $7 per game, and in no case shall the total payroll per game exceed $50.”22 When Crown Point’s equipment manager lost Henning’s wallet to a pickpocket in midseason, the $25 he was out thus corresponded to his pay for two games.23"
