This league played on a schedule drafted by Herbie McFarlin, "bicycle riding ex-secretary of the Oakland club"[1]. McFarlin's schedule defeated at least one other candidate:
Joe Ziegler, young Sacramento secretary, worked 104 hours on another schedule that was turned down. However, as Ziegler is a bridegroom, Coast league directors voted to give him a wedding present. Joe Bearwald was appointed to buy the gift, it being explained he could "get it wholesale."[1]
