But it was to be a short-lived experiment because of a strong competition from an independent Mexican League, created by a multi-millionaire Jorge Pasquel, who attempted to turn his baseball circuit into a first-rate rival to the Major Leagues, which forced the Class B regional league to fold.
As a result, the Mexico and Torreón-Gómez Palacio clubs disbanded in late April and the Mexican National League closed its operations on May 27. By then, the Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua teams were tied in first place with an identical record of 23 wins and 21 losses.
