Mission League

 1916-1-31 Is no more

1919-1-22 "Last summer the Mission League kept the fans of Alameda and Santa Clara counties well supplied with good baseball games each Sunday afternoon, but in doing so several well-known baseball men at the end of the season found that running a baseball team in that league was a bit more expensive than they had figured. The existing war conditions made it impossible for the league to be a financial success, but it did not keep the men behind the little organization from playing on the full schedule of games, especially with President Fred L. Krumb urging them to stick by the ship.
    Roster of 1919 San Jose Bears given. G.C. Bradford, chief backer of San Jose Bears, says team lost $500 last season. But through long acquaintance with him San Jose businessman have confidence in him, and have offered him an $1000 fund for the coming season. Also considering building a new park for him if he handles the Bears. 
1919-6-01 Rosters listed. Shasta Limiteds, including Claxton, will be in league.
1919-6-23 Fred L. Krumb, league president, admits league will not be able to be organized this summer.
