1912 UNITED STATES BASEBALL LEAGUE

Teams:

Chicago Green Sox
Cincinnati Pippins
Cleveland Forest City
New York Knickerbockers
Pittsburgh Filipinos
Reading
Richmond Rebels
Washington Senators

Schedule Characteristics:

SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G126_T8_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="126" start_month="5" start_day="1" start_day_of_week="4"

Each team plays 126 games. Teams play each other 18 times during the season.

Season starts on May 1 and ends on September 28. Weekday games start at 3:00. Saturday, Sunday, and holiday (Memorial Day (5/30)) games start at 1:00. Double-header games start at noon and 3:00. Sunday games only at Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland.

The USBL was a misbegotten attempt to form a third major league. It failed miserably, never attracting any notable big-league talent to its rosters and lasting only a couple of months before it folded. Brooklyn was originally slated to have a club, but Reading replaced it before the season started.
