They won the spring season, edging out Pullman F.C. In the fall 1904 season, they finished 9-0-1, taking the league title for a second consecutive time. They had their greatest success between 1910 and 1913. During those years, they won two league championships, one Peel Cup and one league cup (Jackson Cup). They finished at the bottom of the standings in 1915-1916 and disappeared from view.
