Notes
- ^ a b c d The Bankers protested their January 30 game vs. DC&AC, charging that DC&AC player Ardagh was ineligible. The league decided that the result of the game would be nullified if it affected the standing of the clubs at the end of the season.[1] Although the order of the standings was ultimately unaffected, the Pittsburgh Press and Post disregarded the game anyway, subtracting a win from the DC&AC (changing 6 to 5) and a loss from the Bankers (changing 9 to 8) in their final standings.[2][3]
