Soccer Almanac standings show 113 results (56.5 games)... obviously an issue somewhere, missing Celtics results, also not included in wikipedia table, regardless their results are less complete. Looks for printed standings to confirm total games played is accurate. Second Half began January 19. Complete around June 15. Sover claims May 12. Daily News 5/13 does refer to a match as "virtually the windup of the Eastern Soccer League's season". Exhibition game 5/19 with Giants vs Preston North End. ESL game 5/26 as Hakoah completes season against Giants. Final game of season officially seems to be June 15 with Hungaria defeating IRT 2-1 at Starlight Park Grounds and finishing third. May be best to simply search by team through these dates and recognize that no complete standings exist published anywhere and that games will be sporadic in June and after mid-May.
