The standings were complied from three sources:

  1. Three I. League Record Book (Waterloo, Iowa: 1950).
  2. John R. Dowling's The I-I-I League 1901-1961 (Watseka, Illinois: 1992).
  3. Benjamin Barrett Sumner's Minor League Baseball Standings: All North American Leagues, Through 1999 (Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company., Publishers, 2000).

Please note that there exist occasional discrepancies among the three sources.
