The Pallbearers finished dead-last in the six-team league, with a record of 13–32, a full 22 games behind the first place Waycross Machinists.

The Americus Muckalees (11–18) then were forced to move to Florida and changed its name to Gainesville Sharks (18–24), ending fifth with a combined 29–42 record, 16 games out of the first place spot.

During that span, Americus had affiliation agreements with the St. Louis Cardinals (1936), Brooklyn Dodgers (1937) and Washington Senators (1938).

In 1939, the Cardinals changed its name to the Americus Pioneers and continued to operate in the Georgia–Florida League until 1942, first as a Brooklyn Dodgers affiliate (1939–1940) and then with the Chicago Cubs (1942).

In its first season, Americus won the title in the eight-team league after sporting an 87–37 record, having 10+1⁄2 games of advantage over second place Moultrie Packers.
