Arlett played on the west coast, in the sunshine... a regular home and away travel schedule, in front of friends; instead of a more eratic schedule in front of a bunch of yankees. In the majors he wasn't a regular, and played in the cold and crap weather... In the PCL he could get paid for playing about 8 months, only for about 6 in the majors. He may well have made more money in the majors. And we lack the perspective of the times; out west in the 20s they took the PCL about as seriously as the 'major' leagues back east. Today the stratification of the majors and minors is more significant. There are several players in the PCL back then who chose it over the 'majors'.
