Superior Brickmakers 1911

Superior and Fremont duked it out for the league championship during the 1911 season. After winning the league in 1910, Fremont was looking forward to repeating. They returned their leading pitcher, Harry Smith and many of their regulars. Superior after finishing nine games out of first in 1910 was excited about all the new ball players in their fold for 1911.

Superior and Fremont were the only two teams in contention for most of the year. Superior was in 7th place at the end of May but by mid June they were in a battle with Fremont for the top spot. The two teams then ran away from the rest of the league as the third place team finished 17 games back. Superior wound up in first place by two games at the end of the season. The Fremont fans and local paper were not happy with some of the decisions made by the league president, Henry Sievers who was from Superior were considered to be unfair by the Fremont fans.
