[Newsreel with narration] Spirits are high in Sacramento; after a lengthy owner's meeting, the Pacific Coast League declares itself Major League. Seeking to protect the west coast territories from the encroaching NAL, the PCL agreed to bring their salary structure in line with the former National and American Leagues. Long a showcase for near top-flight ball, the PCL has decided to back-up years of bluster with action.
