Someone wrote that the team's attendance suffered after Prohibition was imposed: "The small population of Vernon became a liability, as few Angelenos were willing to travel the distance to watch a game in a 'dry' town." (Previously, Vernon was one of two "wet" communities in the otherwise "dry" Los Angeles County.) There probably was more to the attendance slip than the distance: Vernon is only two or three miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The population of Vernon was and is tiny: it is an all-industrial city with only a few dozen housing units. But, it was and is close to the heart of a major city.
