But the final standings as reported in Sporting Life and the Spalding Guide had included that game in the standings. The fact that the Pittsburg team president felt compelled to complain (that the Canton game was supposed to have been an exhibition) suggests that there had been some decision made that this game counted as a championship game. Apparently it was supposed to be a makeup game for one that had been rained out earlier in the month. The evidence is not conclusive that it should have remained an exhibition.
