In 1895, Adrian, Michigan had two teams, also playing host to the Page Fence Giants of the negro leagues.
With the two franchises sharing management, the Adrian Reformers signed six players from the Page Fence Giants during the 1895 season, integrating the Michigan State League and leading to the moniker change.
Baseball Hall of Fame members Bud Fowler and Honus Wagner both played for Adrian in 1895.
The six players moving from the Page Fence Giants to the Demons were Bud Fowler, William Binga, Pete Burns, Vasco Graham, Cannon Ball Miller, and George Wilson.
Binga, Burns, and Wilson returned to playing for the Page Fence Giants after the series against Owosso, while the others remained for longer durations.
When the team train arrived home to Adrian after the series sweep, they were met by celebrating fans gathered at the Wabash Depot.
The Kalamazoo Kazoos (50–41) and Battle Creek Adventists / Jackson Jaxons (36–53) rounded out the final standings as both Owosso (37–47) and the Port Huron Marines (27–51) franchises folded on September 8, 1895, before the season was completed.
