Bob,

Thanks for your insight.

I would absolutely rank #6 Alexander, #7 Haines

As for why no New York teams? The Orbit Gum Company was a midwestern firm. I would think that the larger northeast conglomerates (Delong, Goudey) had some sort of agreement for the 1933 season that made the New York players exclusive to their firms. That's the best half-baked theory I can come up with!
