Bartlesville Boosters (1907)

The Oklahoma–Arkansas–Kansas League was an eight–team Class D level minor baseball league that existed in 1907. As its name indicates, it consisted of teams from Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas.

Its teams were the Bartlesville Boosters, Coffeyville Glassblowers, Fort Smith Soldiers, Independence Champs, McAlester Miners, Muskogee Redskins, Parsons Preachers and Tulsa Oilers.[1]

Notable players include Chick Brandom, Drummond Brown, Larry Cheney, Frank Moore, Art Thomason and Lon Ury. Baseball Hall of Fame member Jake Beckley managed the Tulsa Oilers.

After multiple teams disbanded and withdrew, the league's season was shortened to mid–September. Bartlesville finished in first place.
