The team made its debut in 1909, when a local theatre owner and a former area athlete purchased the Meridan club, which had entered the league in 1908, for $2000 and moved the operation to Northampton.
The team played its home games in newly renovated Driving Park, which was built inside the horse track on the Three County Fairgrounds.
In 1910, first baseman Bill Luby replaced Goldie Bowler as manager, but the Meadowlarks' record failed to improve, and the Larks finished seventh again.
Manager Burns refused to let the Meadowlarks take the field against Wickware, citing the "color line" in the major leagues, a move which provoked much criticism regionally, and some uneasiness among many in the city as well.
During the winter of 1914-15 the directors of the Twin State League, acting upon the complaints of Bellows Falls, issued an ultimatum to Northampton to pay a $1000 guarantee.
