The McLeansboro Billikens joined the 1910 KITTY League at the half-way point, after the city of McLeansboro, IL left the Southern Illinois League. The Billikens went 40-18 in the second half and won the title. Clarence "Big Boy" Kraft led the team with a .292 average and his 4 homers tied for the league lead. He also led the league with a .867 winning percentage on the mound (13-2). The next season they became the McLeansboro Miners. Amazingly, the team had neither signed nor released a player during its existence.
