In its maiden season, the PONY League included clubs in Bradford, Pennsylvania; Hamilton, Ontario; and Batavia, Jamestown, Niagara Falls and Olean, all in New York. Olean, a Brooklyn Dodgers farm club, won the pennant.
It addition to those clubs listed above, the PONY League also had franchises in: Erie, Pennsylvania; London, Ontario; and Corning, Hornell, Lockport and Wellsville, New York.
