According to Wikipedia, The Oklahoma State League was a Class-D minor baseball league based in Oklahoma and existed around 1912 and from 1922 to 1924.

The Oklahoma State League was reincarnated in 1922 and represented by the Chickasha Chicks, Clinton Bulldogs, Duncan Oilers, El Reno Railroaders, Wilson Drillers and a Guthrie team. That year the Duncan Oilers finished first league that year, but the Chicks of Chickasha were the league champions, which won the league's playoff series.

In 1923, the Oklahoma State League was made up of the Cushing Refiners, Bristow Producers, Duncan Oilers, Clinton Bulldogs, El Reno Railroaders, Shawnee Indians, Drumright Boosters/Ponca City Poncans and the Guthrie team. That year the Refiners finished in first, but Bristow won the league championship.
