At the end of the 1904 season, we had a team on the move for the first time. The Milwaukee Bucks had turned in four unsuccessful seasons, finishing in last place each season and their 54-86 record of 1904 being the best one they had posted yet. Their attendance was not good, and owner James Roosevelt (no relation to President Roosevelt) wanted to bolt for greener pastures. He moved his team to New York City to compete with the existing Knights. At first, he planned to keep the team name and call them the New York Bucks, but in the end the team was renamed, and would open 1905 as the New York Bears.
