[Three-I League organizational records : 1937-1962].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/39517534

These Organizational Records are housed in two archival boxes and include annual reports, minutes, rules, financial material, memorandums, and other sundry items illustrating minor league baseball history in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and other Midwestern states from 1937 through early 1962. These records span the history of the league during some of the minor league's most trying and successful periods in 20th century: the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war boom and decline. These records document primarily the operation and financial aspects of a low minor league, colorfully illustrating the reasons for the decline of the Three-I league and general minor league decline in the 1950s.
