Northwestern League adopts split-series schedule for season
The Northwestern League unveils a three-game split-series format with a four-club circuit. Seattle and Tacoma start in April with three games in each city and a Seattle home stand, then Vancouver and Spokane to follow, aiming to boost fan interest and reduce long homestands. Spokane will miss a season-ending home slate due to travel, while most teams train at home except Spokane as the Indians shift more. Joe Cohn pushes for a Portland Coast league franchise and broader schedule rights, with George Capron added to the roster as Vancouver seeks a strong outfield piece.
