Inaugural member St. Bartholomew went into recess and did not reappear until 1924 in the United Church Association. The League was reduced to 8 teams. It was suggested for the first time that players wear numbers on the guernseys so the spectators could identify the players, this recommendation was not taken up until 1924.
