The games of the first round were scheduled to be played on or before the last Saturday in October. The replay of the Canonicut-Metrople match was protested on account of darkness. The subsequent replay was tied, however the tie was not replayed because Metropole, by then, had disbanded. The Brooklyn-Thistle replay was also protested and resolved with a third encounter. The Free Wanderers and East Ends also required three tries to complete the round. The first match was called on account of rough play and ordered replayed on neutral ground while the second match was protested regarding a disputed goal.
