Following the disbandment of the Eastern Association after the season, a new league called the Eastern League was formed, which started play in 1916 . This outfit, a Class B organization, featured teams from Connecticut to Maine, which is not to be confused with a top level league, the Eastern League, which had changed its name to the International League four years earlier. In the Eastern League’s first season, New London and Portland proved to be the teams to beat. After a successful start, the Planters were overtaken by Portland in mid-July, but later were able to regain the lead and eventually win the pennant by four games, finishing with an 86-34 record.
