American League Championship Dates Set
October 2nd, 1901

Mr. Byron "Ban" Johnson drew the names of three teams today, as a means of breaking the three team tie in the American League. The first team name he drew from the hat on his desk, was that of the Baltimore Orioles, designated Team "A". He then drew the Washington Senators, designated Team "B", leaving only the Detroit Tigers to be designated Team "C".

It was agreed that Team "A" would play Team "B" for the right to play Team "C" for the league championship. Detroit manager Christopher Claus was thrilled with the result of a drawing, "I'll tell you, its a lot easier beating one of these two teams than it is both of them," said Claus, "either opponent will be quite a challange."

The game between the Orioles and Senators will be played at American League Park on Monday, October 7th with the Championship game the next day at Detroit's Bennett Park
