In January 1932, Posey organized the East–West League. The league featured eight teams located in the East and Midwest, at least two of which (Homestead and Detroit) were owned by Posey. The plans for the new league were ambitious relative to the previous Negro leagues. The <a href="/wiki/Elias_Sports_Bureau" title="Elias Sports Bureau">Al Munro Elias Bureau</a> was hired to compile statistics, and the league would hire salaried, traveling <a href="/wiki/Umpire_(baseball)" title="Umpire (baseball)">umpires</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The league began play in May, but attendance was poor because of the severe financial conditions of the Depression.

In the face of dismal league attendance, by late May Posey invited the Crawfords to join the league and allowed the Grays and other East–West League teams to schedule games with the Crawfords.
