1916-5-11 schedule ad for opening game
1916-9-19 Shoshone was winner of first half, Twins Falls was winner of second half. League is determining whether championship series will run three or five games.
1916-9-21 Series will be best-of-three. Ruled that no player can play in series who did not play one game for team during season. Rupert attempted to convince the league to overturn the games in which Robinson played for Twins Falls against Rupert, which would had given the 2nd half championship to Rupert. Robinson had been signed by Twins Falls at the beginning of the season and Rupert wanted to buy him for $40, and even though Rupert did not pay the money Robinson played a time with them before coming back to Twins Falls. The league ruled this was no cause for forfeiting.
1916-9-30 Jerome of S-I will play Glenns Ferry at Elywhee Festival.
1917-2-22 Buhl is considering filling the vacancy in the league left by Kimball. (they did not)

1921-1-02 "The Buhl baseball team had $45 in the treasury after all expenses of the season were paid, according to report of Joe Boyd, manager. The team won the championship of the Southern Idaho League, and claims the championship of the state by virtue of victories over Boise and Pocatello, champions, respectively, in the Alfalfa and Yellowstone leagues.
"I heard the other day that there has been some talk of having a Southern Idaho League next season, and right here let me say, that if the fans won't patronize 25-cent baseball, played by boys that don't get anything but abuse for their services, I can't see how a team that has paid players on it is going to make good." By 25-cent baseball the author was referring to the local league, whose games were unfairly unpatronized.
1922-3-31 league organized. Nothing else showed up for it in search for "Southern Idaho League."
"Each team will be allowed to import two men but salaries at limited to $75 a month, thereby making jobs one big item in getting men." Interesting - would have to provide a job to draw a player.
"Each team is to contribute $50 to a season's purse, hung up for the pennant grabbers and chasers. The winning team is to get $200 of this amount while the runner-up will drawn down another $100. Each team is to post a $300 surety bond that the season will be completed."
