The LaSalle Blue Sox finished in fourth place in 1914, as the Illinois–Missouri league lost two teams during the season. On July 3, 1914, the Lincoln Abes had a record of 32–15 and were in first place when they disbanded along with the Kankakee Kanks. The Champaign Velvets eventually captured the 1914 championship, with LaSalle finishing last among the remaining four teams, when the season ended on August 9, 1914. The LaSalle Blue Sox franchise completed the season with a record of 26-60, playing under managers Anthony Hinley and LaSalle native John Fitzpatrick.[4][1][5][3]
The final standings were led by the Champaign–Urbana Velvets, who finished with a 62–27 record, followed by the Ottawa Indians (47–38), Streator Boosters (40–48) and La Salle Blue Sox (26–60). As the Lincoln Abes (32–15) and Kankakee Kanks (14–33) had folded, they were not counted in the final standings. The Illinois–Missouri League permanently folded after the 1914 season.[6][3]
