What is now known as the International League has gone through a few name changes. One of these names was the Eastern Association in 1891 before Eastern League (1892-1911), and finally International League 1912-present. In 1913 the Connecticut League changed its name to the Eastern Association. The class B league operated in New England. The 1915 Spalding Guide said that "life appears to be perennial with the circuit." The loop did not make it to opening of the 1915 season.
