History

The Eastern International League formed for the 1888 season.[1] The Belleville, Kingston, Oswego Starchboxes and Watertown teams began play on May 25, 1888 as charter members.[2] Previously, Oswego had played in the 1887 International Association.[3]

During the 1888 season, Oswego disbanded on July 4, 1888 after winning the first–half title.[4] On July 30, 1888, the Belleville team transferred to Brockville.[5] Watertown folded on August 10, 1888, causing the league to fold, with only three remaining franchises.[6]

Kingston won the second–half title and had the league's best record at 25–17, playing under manager Robert Eilbeck, who also served as league president.[6][7]
