In 1943, Jimmy Mandas announced the
West Seattle Yellowjackets and
Seattle Shipbuilders teams would merge under the
Seattle Ironworkers name as Isaacson Iron Works was the sponsor. The Yellowjackets had won the Northwest
championship of 1942.
When the 1943 season started up, Tacoma and
Portland could not field teams so Seattle found itself as an
independent.
The military refused permission for Walla Walla to
fly up to Seattle for a game, and two-weeks after playing in Bremerton,
the Mountaineers were refused permission to travel for the second game.
