30 janv. 1920 - In its early years, the league
was little more than a formal
agreement between teams to
play each other and to declare
a champion at season's end.
Teams were still permitted to
play non-league members. The
1920 season saw several teams
drop out and fail to play through
their schedule. Only four
teams: Akron, Buffalo, Canton, and
Decatur, finished the schedule. Akron
claimed the first league champion,
with the only undefeated record
among the remaining teams.
