Proportional Points:
"Port Melbourne has played the greatest number of matches, viz, 20 and the proportional points are worked on the assumption that each club should have played that number, thus;
South Melbourne;
Played: 19, Maximum: 20, Points Obtained: 66 Proportional: 69.47
Other teams:
Ballarat, South Ballarat, Ballarat Imperials, were still V.F.A. listed teams, but could not organise sufficient games to qualify.
As most people worked on Saturday mornings, trying to organise a team to travel to Melbourne by train in time for a game was a difficult proposal.
Ballarat and Ballarat Imperials tied for the "Golden City" premiership.
In addition to their local competition, the Ballarat clubs played some matches against the metropolitan clubs;
Ballarat, Played 10 Won 8 Lost 1 Drawn 2 Goals For 63 Against 31
Ballarat Imps, Played 5 Won 3 Lost 4 Drawn 1 goals For 27 Against 12
Sth. Ballarat, Played 4 Won 0 Lost 4 Drawn 0 Goals for 9 Against 17
