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).
