It is not an error; the composite notes that the Cubs were the "champions for 1909". In the early 20th century, the team that won the league pennant or the World Series at the end of one season was typically described as the league or world champions for the next season.

Nice. I never knew that - especially since the Yankees never won anything in early years.
Thanks
