Still a nine-team league in the CSL's second season, but only Bridgeport, Danbury and West Haven stayed on board. The New London Electric Boats, a popular touring team, joined the league, as did New Britain Cremos, the Hartford Super 5, the Stamford Holy Names and the Willimantic Aces. With the Endees dropping out, Meriden would be represented by the Silverworkers of Insilco. Once again, the season was split into two eight-game halves. They would play two-halves with each team playing each other once in each half. Box scores and game results were still a little difficult to locate for a good portion of the games, so rosters may be incomplete.
The first half ended with Meriden and Stamford finishing tied atop the league with 6-2 records. A quick best-of-three series to determine the first half champion saw Meriden beat Stamford in two straight games.
The second half would also end in a tie, but this time, it was a three-team deadlock with New Britain, Bridgeport and Danbury (the defending champions.) A round-robin tie-breaker was scheduled, and it would take almost a month for New Britain to be the victors of the round robin.
In the finals for the President's Cup, New Britain down Meriden, 42-41, in the opener of the best-of-five series. Meriden would roar back to win Games Two and Three to put New Britain on the ropes. However, backed by Glownia's 19 points, New Britain would even the series with a narrow 46-43 win leading to a deciding game in Meriden. New Britain would defeat the Silverworkers in Game 5, 53-47, to claim the President's Cup.
