"Since there were few quality baseball nines to be found on the frontier, teams searched far and wide to meet clubs of equal talent. Once located, the ensuing match was often a series of five games with a large cash prize going to the victor to make the long-distance travel worthwhile. Besides providing entertainment for the fans, these games were big business for the gamblers as well as a way for a fledgling town or city to make a real name for themselves."
1921-2-24 (Beloit, KS) "Clay Schoonover, a 1919 star with the Beloit Leaguers, writes from Sterling, Colo., that he will play again this year with the Sterling team, of which he was a member last year. Schoonover, Payton, Shimeall, Kraninger, Silcott and Vorheis, members of the team, have been spending the winter at Sterling. "Scoony" reports work as scarce, lots of idle men and money tight, and one bank closed. He has been employed there by the Titus Ice and Cold Storage Co."
