1914 UNION ASSOCIATION

Teams:

Boise (ID) Irrigators
Butte (MT) Miners
Helena (MT) Senators
Murray (UT) Infants
Ogden (UT) Canners
Salt Lake City (UT) Seagulls/Skyscrapers

Schedule Characteristics:

SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G124_T6_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="124" start_month="4" start_day="28" start_day_of_week="3"

Teams play 124 games. Teams play each other from 24 to 26 times. Teams play either 60, 62, or 64 home games. Split-season format - first half of season ends with games on July 5.

The season starts on April 28 and ends on September 14. Weekday games start at 3:00. Weekend games start at 1:00. Double-headers start at noon and 3:00. Games on Pioneer Day (July 24) start at 1:00.


Not to be confused with the would-be major-league Union Association of 1884, this UA was a minor league that existed from 1911 to 1914. Because of the long distances between some of the cities, the league adopted a PCL-style schedule that typically saw teams face each other from Tuesday through Sunday, with double-headers on holidays.

The published schedule has Ogden hosting Murray for three series instead of the usual two. That may be a misprint, although it's difficult to verify because the league ceased operations in early August. I moved the Aug. 25-30 series to Murray.

This will be my last schedule for a while as I embark on a different project.
