The team was replaced by Canton during the 1906/07 Postseason Series, but returned to the league the following season. For their final season, the team was known as the Homestead Steeltowners.[ citation needed ] The team experienced significant financial troubles in the 1910-11 season, leading to the team failing to pay its players and the players refusing to play.
