Tacoma in The House of Daniel[]
In 1934, Tacoma was a medium sized port city with several industries. Unfortunately, Seattle had all of those industries and more. Further, the bursting of the Big Bubble had hurt the port and logging industries in Tacoma. Thus, the city had fallen on hard time.[1] They had local semipro baseball league, which included McNulty Transfer, Superior Dairy, and Kimball Gun Store.[2]
Beginning on July 15, 1934, the House of Daniel played those teams, beating the Transfer and the Dairy, but losing to the Gun Store.[3]
