Brookline's baseball team returned in 1915, it's second year, to defend it's championship the previous season. The team was under the direction of the Brookline Board of Trade and was composed of some of the best known local talent among whom were Lloyd Rosser, the former Pittsburgh Fed star; Capt. Karlen, of the old Martin team; Curran, former star of the Lafayette County League team; Lytle, former captain of the Carnegie Tech team; Henson, who was Mamaux's battery mate before the latter was signed by the Pirates, and Lincoln Rosser, the former P.A.A. sprinter. The team was managed by L.L. Rosser and S.P. McClelland. Team tryouts were held on Saturday, April 17, and the Brookline Board of Trade was pleased with the extensive improvements that were made to the Rossmore Avenue ballfield. With all of the talent assembled in Brookline, the team battled to a successful record, but did not make the championship game a second year in a row. 1915 Box Scores Old Pittsburgh Press, Post-Gazette and Daily Post newpaper clippings from the 1910s and 1920s have occasionally shown Brookline game results in the roundup sections at the back of the sports page. Here are several of those from the 1915 season.
