Tupelo Wolves

[1][2] The Blytheville Tigers, Corinth Corinthians, Dyersburg Deers, Jackson Giants and Jonesboro Buffaloes teams joined Tupelo in beginning league play on May 7, 1925.

[2] Playing the season under manager Howard "Red" Reese, the Wolves finished 4.0 games ahead of the second place Jonesboro Buffaloes (63–43).

They were followed by the Dyersburg Deers (59–46), Corinth Corinthians (57–49), Jackson Giants (40–63) and Blytheville Tigers (31–77) in the standings.

As a multi–sport athlete at Vanderbilt University, Reese allegedly began to play for the Wolves under the pseudonym Tidbit Bynum in order to protect his collegiate eligibility.
