1935 Picture (The Cushing Oilers and Cushing Refiners played as members of the Class D Southwestern League (1921), the Class D Oklahoma State League (1923–1924) and Southwestern League (1925). Baseball Hall of Fame member Carl Hubbell made his professional debut with the 1923 Cushing Refiners. The 1921 Cushing Oilers played at Speedway Park, located north of town on North Little Avenue, where a bowling alley currently stands. Starting in 1923, the Cushing Refiners played at a new facility called Cushing Ball Park. That ballpark was located on West Moses Street on the southeast corner of the railroad crossing for the now-abandoned Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad tracks, which intersected West Moses between Violet and Puckett Avenues.)
