Cubs Baseball Club (St. John's, N.L.)

The exact date of the establishment of the Cubs Baseball Club, a St. John's men's team, is not currently known. However, it was one of the four original teams in the St. John's Baseball League, established in 1913. The team had considerable success in the early years of the League, winning several of the "Garden Party" series, under the auspices of Mount Cashel Orphanage. The St. John's Baseball League became inactive following the 1922 summer season.

The Cubs renewed their membership in the St. John's Baseball League when it was reestablished in 1927, but they do not appear to have been as successful. By 1934 the League was recommending that the Cubs consider amalgamation with the team fielded by the Methodist Guards Amateur Athletic Association. The collapse of the League itself in that year may have made this move unnecessary.
