Former University of Washington guard Jack Scaman helped put together and coach the 1933 All-Stars which played area Conservation Corps teams like Camp Icicle during the Depression Era.

Reorganized in 1936 by John Parkhill and John Scaman, the plan was to join the Northwest League.  Uniforms would be supplied by 22 sponsors, their advertising on the back with a big red apple on the front.  When the All-Stars played against the Issaquah Firemen, it was billed as an exhibition by the lighter-weight team from the west and they dubbed the All-Stars the "Rainbows".

Parkhill was first putting together games as fundraisers for the unemployed in 1931 along with a team from Cashmere.
