1916 Tri-Copper League

In 1916 the Tri-Copper League was in its second season.  The league consisted of three teams.  The Miners, The Smelters.  And the Millers.  Yes, it was copper they were after.  Ray, Arizona, was about 77 miles to the ESE of Phoenix and about 23 miles NNW of Hayden.

Google Maps

My guess is that the teams were formed by the mining company and they were a diversion and entertainment for the men.

    I love the symmetry in their win/loss records.

      Steve,
      Yes, for both the First and Second Series!

      Playing 30 games against two other teams - all of the players would know each other pretty well by the end of the season!
