A protest was lodged over the Week 2 game by the Rock Island Independents, charging that Rochester had misrepresented its lineup, brought in lesser substitute players, and therefore breached their contract.[2] The 1924 annual league meeting, held in Chicago in January, heard the dispute and decided in Rochester's favor, awarding the team the appearance guarantee that Rock Island sought to withhold.[2]
