At the start of this season the American Soccer League was in decline, suffering from the effects of the Great Depression.
The eventual champions, New Bedford Whalers, had been formed by Sam Mark following the merger of Fall River F.C.
Long time ASL members Brooklyn Wanderers folded before the season.
The season saw strong performances by New Bedford Whalers, New York Giants and a resurgent Pawtucket Rangers.
Whalers took the first game at home 8-3 before the Giants came back to win 6-0, taking the series on a 9-8 aggregate score.
