Experiencing a number of disputed games which were not resolved, the league decided in early August that the two-top teams in 1915, the Town and Fingerville, would instead face off in a best-of-seven series for the Soloman Cup. The two finalists had the option of strengthening their teams by picking up players from the other club, the Maroons. The Fingerville Lumber nine, slightly behind the Town squad in the standings when this decision was made, came out smoking in the final series and copped the 1915 championship in four straight games.
