Hughie Miller, St. Louis Federal League

Wikipedia - "The St. Louis Terriers were a baseball club that played in the short-lived Federal League in 1914 and 1915. They played their home games at Handlan's Park. The St. Louis Chapter of SABR placed a marker at the site of Handland's Park, now on the campus of St. Louis University, on October 17, 2007. The team was owned by ice magnate Phil Ball, who later was owner of the St. Louis Browns. In their inaugural season, the Terriers posted a 62-89 record (.411) and finished in last place, 25 games behind the league champion Indianapolis Hoosiers. The team improved significantly the next year as they were pennant contenders up until the last game of the season. The Terriers had a 87-67 mark (.565), ending up in second place 1/10 of a percentage point behind the champion Chicago Whales, who finished 86-66 (.566). Among the St. Louis Terriers players who had experience in the American and/or National Leagues were Al Bridwell, Mordecai Brown, Ward Miller (baseball), Bob Groom, Fielder Jones, Eddie Plank, Jack Tobin and Ed Willett."

St. Louis Terriers: Home/Road

"The St. Louis Terriers were originally owned by brewer Otto Stifel and E. A. Steininger. Before the 1914 season, Stifel sold out when the losses got to be too high. Refrigeration magnate Phillip De Catesby Ball stepped in to infuse new capital into the organization. The team was first managed by future Hall of Famer, Mordecai Brown. Brown pitched and managed the club for the majority of the 1914 campaign but was traded near the end of the season to Brooklyn. The team was mired in the bottom division at the time. Fielder Jones replaced Brown as manager for the team. Jones managed the team for the 1915 season, and the team rose from last place in 1914 to second place. The Terriers just missed first place by .001 winning percentage, the closest in major league baseball history. The team's nickname was the Terriers, but when Mordecai Brown was manager, the newspapers often referred to the team as the "Miners" and "Brownies" in reference to their field general."

Baseball History: Remembering the St. Louis Terriers

Doc Crandall

"The National League and the American League were the two most prominent baseball leagues at the turn of the 20th century, eventually becoming the two rival leagues which define Major League Baseball to this day. However, during the early 20th century, there were several other professional baseball teams playing in competing leagues. One such team was the St. Louis Terriers, who played in the Federal League from 1914-1915. Founded in 1912, the Federal League was the last serious organization to compete with the National and American Leagues for baseball dominance. The future of the Federal League looked bright in 1914, as several Major League baseball stars jumped to this rival organization, including Hall of Famer Walter Johnson, and established stars like Doc Crandall, Tom Seaton, and Claude Hendrix."
