National League
In competition with Major League Baseball, the Federal League declared itself as a "third major league" for its own 1914 season, with its own eight teams, in competition with the established National and American Leagues.
This was the last of four seasons that the Chalmers Award, a precursor to the Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award (introduced in 1931), was given to a player in each of the established National and American Leagues.
