Ban Johnson discards the Western League moniker in favor of calling his new league "American Leauge" as he declares his new league a major league in competition with the established National League. The six cities discarded by Mr. Johnson form the Western League. As a point of interest it is noted that Des Moines is the only club which participated in every class "A" version of the Western League.
