By the 1925–26 season, WHL teams were openly selling players to their richer NHL rivals to stay afloat. The NHL board of governors intervened by purchasing the contracts of every player in the WHL for $258,000 and the league formally disbanded. The remnants of five former WHL teams immediately formed the professional Prairie Hockey League (PHL)

/ By the first quarter of the twentieth century, the Draper-Maynard Company of Plymouth, New Hampshire had become the preeminent manufacturer of professional model baseball gloves and one of the largest sporting goods suppliers in the United States. In fact, throughout the 1920's, the company claimed that between 80 and 90 percent of professional baseball players used their gloves. The metamorphosis of Jason & Nathaniel Draper's one-room glove factory in Glove Hollow into an iconic international brand is a remarkable American success story made possible by hard work and a little good fortune.
