    Re: The Story of Gridby

    The ninth NGL franchise, the Philadelphia Spirits. Because of Pennsylvania's Blue Laws during this period, the Spirits can only play on Saturdays.

    And last, but not least, the Brooklyn Steeplechasers.

    Stay tuned for the results of the 1926 NGL Season.

    A lot of great teams here! My favorite may have to be Detroit because the name is cool and like their colors a lot.

    So I guess that Brooklyn will play at Ebbets Field?

    Z - With their win in Week 4 at Boston, the Spirits clinched homefield advantage for the 1926 NGL Grand Final, which will be held on July 10, 1926 at Shibe Park.

    For the second half of the season, Louisville, Boston and St. Louis face the toughest road to the Grand Final. They will each need to win out and hope the results of other games go their way.

    Buffalo can get into the Grand Final if they beat GCNY later this year and stay consistent throughout.

    Detroit, Brooklyn and Cleveland will need to win out and hope GCNY and Buffalo lose their remaining games.

    The Second Half of the 1926 NGL Season

    WEEK SIX
    St. Louis Browns 22 at Philadelphia Spirits 12
    Detroit Roadsters 14 at Louisville Coopers 8
    Buffalo Lakers 16 at GCNY 26
    Chicago Gaels 6 at Boston Unicorns 40

    WEEK SEVEN
    Louisville Coopers 24 at Brooklyn Steeplechasers 12
    GCNY 20 at Detroit Roadsters 12
    St. Louis Browns 0 at Boston Unicorns 20
    Philadelphia Spirits 18 at Buffalo Lakers 34

    WEEK EIGHT
    Louisville Coopers 29 at GCNY 10
    Brooklyn Steeplechasers 6 at Chicago Gaels 20
    Boston Unicorns 16 at Buffalo Lakers 14
    Cleveland Cardinals 18 at Philadelphia Spirits 26
    Detroit Roadsters 36 at St. Louis Browns 16

    WEEK NINE
    Louisville Coopers 34 at Boston Unicorns 6
    St. Louis Browns 25 at Brooklyn Steeplechasers 24
    Philadelphia Spirits 10 at Chicago Gaels 17
    Buffalo Lakers 18 at Detroit Roadsters 32
    GCNY 46 at Cleveland Cardinals 12

    WEEK TEN

    Cleveland Cardinals 33 at Detroit Roadsters 3
    Brooklyn Steeplechasers 22 at GCNY 9
    Chicago Gaels 28 at Louisville Coopers 20
    Buffalo Lakers 4 at St. Louis Browns 36

    Philly, who clinched homefield advantage in the Grand Final, rested on their laurels in Weeks Six and Seven and paid dearly for it. However, the Spirits would win 2 out of the last 3 to prove they were good enough for the final test.

    GCNY had the best second half of any NGL team, and the results speak for themselves. Throughout the second half, sportswriters began to unofficially refer to GCNY's players as the "Marvels" thanks to their on-field feats.

    Chicago and Detroit each had a big second half. However, because they each missed a shot at the Grand Final, they will petition the league office for a playoff tournament.

    After starting hot in the first half, the Lakers cooled down in the second half to finish at 5-5.

    The biggest drop-off in the second half and the biggest disappointment this year was Brooklyn, who was picked by many prognosticators before the season began to be one of the better teams.

    Final Standings for 1926
    Z - Philadelphia Spirits 7-3
    X - GCNY ("The Marvels") 7-3
    Detroit Roadsters 6-4
    Chicago Gaels 6-4
    Buffalo Lakers 5-5
    Cleveland Cardinals 4-6
    Boston Unicorns 4-6
    Louisville Coopers 4-6
    St. Louis Browns 4-6
    Brooklyn Steeplechasers 3-7

    Stay tuned for the 1926 Grand Final at Shibe Park!

    Great first season. Chearing for GCNY to complete their magic here.
