      History


      The 1905 North Texas League consisted of four charter teams, initially all from Texas. They were the Paris Parasites, of Paris, the Greenville Midlands of Greenville, an un-nicknamed team from Clarksville and an un-nicknamed team from Texarkana. Partway through the year, the Paris club moved to Hope, Arkansas, making it the only non-Texas city to be represented in the league. Clarksville disbanded on July 21 after going 34–42, while Texarcana - with a 36–46 record - disbanded on August 2, forcing the league to disband on August 6, 1905. The Parasites finished first in the league with a 48–32 record, while the Midlands had a 41–40 record. Dode Criss and Clyde Milan played in the league that year.
      The North Texas League did not play in 1906.
      Reformed in 1907, the North Texas League featured the Corsicana Oilers/Desperados of Corsicana, Paris Athletics, Greenville Hunters and Terrell Red Stockings of Terrell. Corsicana finished first in the league with a 38–21 record, while Paris was 36–23, Greenville was 24–35 and Terrell was 18–38.
