League championships

Despite lasting a relatively short amount of time (ten seasons), the Jax were able to win multiple league championships. Their first came in their inaugural season, 1934, under the guidance of manager Wally Dashiell. They won again in 1935 under Jimmy Sanders and Jackie Reid, and in 1937 they won under Tony Robello. They won their final championship in their final season, in 1950 under Charles Baron.
