Game notes

  1. This was the former Lalus club, which merged into the East End Athletic Association later in the season.
  2. While listed as a 35–0 Latrobe win in final season results, the game vs. Scottdale was described in a Pittsburg Post game report as "merely one for practice" with no precise score kept.
  3. Thanksgiving Day game
  4. A third Latrobe-Greensburg game was scheduled for Thanksgiving Day. However Latrobe manager Dave Berry preferred to play undefeated Homestead team instead. He was forced to pay Greensburg $400 for cancelling the third meeting.
