The Boosters won their season opener on May 18, defeating the Knoxville Reds, 6–3, at home before a crowd of about 1,000 people.[2] They played their final game, a 3–3 tie against Knoxville called after 12 innings on account of darkness, on June 17.[3] With the other three teams in the circuit losing money from poor attendance, the league disbanded the next day.[4] Harriman compiled a win–loss record of 14–13 (.519), placing third, in its only season of competition.[5]
