[edit] Postseason
The championship of the Negro Southern League was disputed, with just percentage points separating Cole's American Giants and the Monroe Monarchs. No playoff was held, but the Monarchs played a postseason series with the independent Pittsburgh Crawfords, the Crawfords prevailing five games to one. It was referred to as a Negro World Series by both teams, but is not considered so by Negro League historians and researchers. The American Giants, who are generally considered to have won the NSL championship, and the Detroit Wolves, who won the East-West League title that year, did not engage in any post-season series.
