THE BATTALIA
Chain Store Baseball Marks 42 Anniversar
By HAROLD RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Forty-two years ago (July 3,
1922), in a smoke-filled room at
the Goldman Hotel in Fort Smith,
Ark., chain store baseball was born.
It was known as “the farm sys
tem” by its creators but it was
tagged “chain store” by the press ]
because it became a chain of minor
league clubs controlled by the
majors.
The St. Louis Cardinals, under
Branch Rickey, started it. The
Cardinals would move into a town,
pay a few thousand to a financially

distressed club and get three

The system spread from Class D
to the other classifications of base
ball. Houston of the then Class A
Texas League was one of the first
clubs for the Cardinals to gain
control. Eventually they owned it.
The other big league clubs got
into the swim. Soon the minors
were dominated by the majors.
Harry Wander ling, who was in
baseball for many years, recalls
that meeting in Fort Smith when
the first club in the Cardinal chain
was obtained.

sociation; Wanderling, owner of
McAlester, Okla., who had his club
in town for a July 4 double-header,
and a newspaperman nobody seems
to recall, were at the meeting.
Wanderling did not take part in
creating chain store baseball; he
was present only because he had
been invited to sit in. But he
formed some definite ideas on
what the farm system might do to
the minors.
Many baseball men, and that in
cludes Fred Ankenman, who was
business manager of Houston at
the time Rickey bought into it,
says that the farm system was
what saved the minor leagues.
They argue that many clubs in
those days were finding independ
ent operation a burden and that
they had to have help or close up.
But Wanderling has other ideas.
He owned four clubs in his day
and he organized the Class D
leagues in the late twenties and
thirties. He lost money on all
except one of his clubs but he says
minor league baseball didn’t ac
tually need the help of the majors
—it just took the easy route.
“A baseball club owner always
could get financial help without
selling out,” he says. “Take me,
I used to get help from fellows
like Charley Comiskey, owner of
the White Sox, without strings
attached.”
Wanderling says minor league
baseball is in the shape it is today
because of the farm system. “It
took away home ownership and
killed the local interest,” he ex
plains. “Had we never had the+
farm system, minor league base
ball today would be twice as big.”
Now minor league ball has to
depend almost wholly on the ma
jors. The Texas League, for in
stance, is subsidized by the majors.
Back when minor league baseball
was doing well under the farm
system—and it did very well for
25 years under it—there was one
thing that always was causing con
troversy and hurting the local in
terest. The big league club often
would reach down and take a star
player in the midst of a hot pen
nant race.
This has been the basis of great
complaint over the years and there
have been instances where the mi
nor league club claimed it had lost
the championship as a result.
This situation still prevails. Dal
las of the Pacific Coast League is
a fair example. It is controlled by
the Kansas City Athletics. Kansas
City has been taking its players in
a steady stream and it may never
get a club together that might win
a few.
Presumably the farm system will
have to continue at least until all
the minors are gone. No one would
attempt local ownership and op
erate independently. In the first
place, they couldn’t get the players.
That would come only if the ma
jors pulled completely away from
the minors.
Even then it would be difficult
to find anybody willing to risk his
money in trying to rebuild the
minors.
