The league had 18 teams play during the season, including the new clubs Frankford Yellow Jackets, Kansas City Blues, and Kenosha Maroons.
Team owners and representatives held their annual scheduling meeting at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago during the weekend of January 26–27, 1924.
[2] An appeal was heard by the delegates, presented by the Rock Island Independents, over the guarantee paid in 1923 to the Rochester Jeffersons for their October 14 game.
The Jeffs, it was alleged, misrepresented their lineup and breached their contract by failing to bring in regular players for a competitive game.
The Cleveland Bulldogs, Buffalo Bisons, Frankford Yellow Jackets, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears were the contenders for the title in November.
[5] In terms of pure win–loss differential, the Yellow Jackets would have easily won the title, as they had nine more wins than losses, compared to the +6 of the Bulldogs and the +5 of the Bears.
