Will Decide Fate Of Western Loop Thursday
OPERA Kansas AP Dale Gear president of the Western league said the league's 1934 season depended on authority to operate as a compact circuit after Denver was eliminated. A hearing on Denver's restraining order to block the move will be held Thursday in Chicago before Judge Bramham. Gear warned an adverse decision could force the league to disband as Pueblo failed to secure a park and eastern clubs balked at travel costs for a single Colorado series.
