Most notably, the American League of Professional Football disbanded after playing one season. The ALPF was a winter soccer league organized by, baseball owners of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs. The goal of this league wasβ€”β€”to maintain brand relevance of their existing baseball clubs during the "offseason." Andβ€”β€”to attract extra funds during the late fall. And winter months.

Subsequently, the National Association Football League conducted its first season this year, having four teams play in the inaugural season. A fifth team, "New Rochelle F."C., failed to start the season.
