Marshall's Plan For PCL Trouble Faces Major League Talk
Arthur Edson reports George Preston Marshall warns West Coast trips cost clubs 10 000 a journey. He estimates 500 000 extra travel costs per season and 25 000 losses on western trips for teams like the Boston Yanks. Marshall predicts limited All-America playoff appeal and tough odds to break even, noting eight of 18 pro football teams profited little. Goose Goslin of Detroit grounded into four double plays against Chicago Bay Sox on April 28.
