1901 Philadelphia Athletics season, Before the 1901 season
The Western League had been renamed the American League in 1900 by league president Bancroft (Ban) Johnson, and declared itself the second major league in 1901.


1901 Philadelphia Athletics season, Before the 1901 season
In 1901, Johnson created new franchises in the east and eliminated some franchises in the west. Philadelphia seems to have been a new franchise created to compete with the National League's Philadelphia Phillies. Former catcher Connie Mack was recruited to manage the club. Mack in turn persuaded Phillies minority owner Ben Shibe as well as others to invest in the team, which would be called the Philadelphia Athletics. He himself bought a 25 percent interest.


1901 Philadelphia Athletics season, Regular season
In 1901, Nap Lajoie jumped from the Phillies to the crosstown Philadelphia Athletics, owned by Connie Mack. Lajoie's batting average that year was .426, still a league record. The same year Lajoie became the second major leaguer to be intentionally walked with the bases loaded after Abner Dalrymple in 1881.

1901 Pittsburgh College football team
The 1901 Pittsburgh College football team was an American football team that represented Pittsburgh Catholic College of the Holy Ghost—now known as Duquesne University—during the 1901 college football season. The team finished the season with a record of 3–2.


1901 Pittsburgh Pirates season
The 1901 Pittsburgh Pirates finished in first place in the National League, 7½ games ahead of the second-place Philadelphia Phillies. It was the first year that the American League operated as a major league, but there would be no World Series between the leagues until 1903.


1901 Pittsburgh Pirates season
The team was managed by Fred Clarke, who was also their starting left fielder. Clarke, in his fifth year as a manager at age 28, won his first pennant. The Pirates won the National League championship in the next two years as well.


1901 Pittsburgh Pirates season, Regular season
The Pirates were led offensively by Honus Wagner, who led the league in RBI and stolen bases. Although the "Flying Dutchman" had never played shortstop in the majors until 1901, he appeared 61 times at shortstop that year in addition to spending time at third base and the outfield.


1901 Pittsburgh Pirates season, Regular season
In a league that batted .267 as a whole, the Pirates outfield was notable for its hitting. Ginger Beaumont hit .332, player-manager Fred Clarke hit .324, and Lefty Davis hit .313.


1901 Pittsburgh Pirates season, Regular season
The pitching staff of the Pirates allowed the fewest runs in the league and was among the greatest ever. The four top starting pitchers – Deacon Phillippe, Jack Chesbro, Jesse Tannehill, and Sam Leever – were the four top pitchers in the National League in terms of winning percentage. All of them were in the top ten in the league in ERA. Future Hall of Famer Rube Waddell had pitched well in 1900 for the Pirates, but was sold in May 1901 to the Chicago Orphans. With a record of 90-49, the Pirates had the best record in the league.

1901 Preakness Stakes
The 1901 Preakness Stakes was the 26th running of the $2,500 Preakness Stakes, a Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds run on May 28, 1901 at the Gravesend Race Track on Coney Island, New York. The one mile, 70 yard race was won by The Parader over runner-up Sadie S. The race was run on a track rated heavy in a final time of 1:47 1/5.


1901 Preakness Stakes

1901 Preakness Stakes
For jockey Frank Landry it would be his first and only Preakness win. For future Hall of Fame trainer T. J. Healey, it would mark the first of five Preakness wins.


1901 Preakness Stakes
The 1919 Preakness Stakes would mark the first time the race would be recognized as the second leg of a U.S. Triple Crown series.


1901 Princeton Tigers football team
The 1901 Princeton Tigers football team represented Princeton University in the 1901 college football season. The team finished with a 9–1–1 record under first-year head coach Langdon Lea. The Tigers won their first nine games, including eight shutouts, and outscored their opponents by a total of 247 to 24. The team's only loss was in the last game of the season by a 12–0 score against Yale. Princeton end Ralph Tipton Davis was selected as a consensus first-team honoree on the 1901 College Football All-America Team.

1901 Richfield earthquake
The 1901 Richfield earthquake was a magnitude Mw7.0 earthquake that occurred on 13 November 1901 at approximately 9:39 PM MDT at Richfield, Utah, United States. If estimations are accurate, it is the largest earthquake ever recorded in Utah.


1901 Richfield earthquake, Earthquake
The earthquake struck at approximately 9:39 PM MDT approximately 1.2 miles (1.9 km) south of Richfield, Utah, United States. Reports of the length of the quake varied from about one minute to three minutes. There were three waves—increasing in power—to the initial quake, and "roaring" or "low rumbling" sounds accompanying the shock waves were reported in Fillmore, Cedar City, and Salt Lake City.


1901 Richfield earthquake, Earthquake
The time of the quake is officially recorded by the Intermountain Seismic Belt Historical Earthquake Project (ISBHEP) as 9:39 PM MDT. The USGS report gives an official time as 9:32 PM MDT. News reports from the time give times ranging from 9:30 PM MDT to 10:45 PM MDT.


1901 Richfield earthquake, Earthquake, Magnitude and intensity
The quake was recorded by the ISBHEP as a Mw6½ and an intensity of IX (Violent). The official USGS report in their historical earthquakes list stated no magnitude and an intensity of VIII ("Severe"). An official report published in 1988 assigned a magnitude of Mw7 and an intensity of IX ("Violent").


1901 Richfield earthquake, Earthquake, Magnitude and intensity
The quake was felt in an area of 50,000 square miles (130,000 km2), including Cedar City (intensity VI), Oasis, and Fillmore. Salt Lake City (with intensity of IV) is considered an "outlying point well outside the boundary of the main felt area."


1901 Richfield earthquake, Destruction
Damage to chimneys, walls, roofs, windows was reported in Richfield, Beaver, Joseph, Elsinore, and Marysvale, with minor damage reported in Parowan, Milford, Cedar City, St. George, and Kanab.


1901 Richfield earthquake, Destruction
Surface ruptures up to 300 feet (91 m) in length were reported in Richfield, with water and white sand being ejected from some of the cracks. "Extensive rockslides" were reported between Beaver and Marysvale, especially in the canyons.


1901 Richfield earthquake, Destruction
Damage in Beaver included Beaver Woolen Mills, with an estimated US$4,000 in severe structural damage (approximately US$121,000 in 2020). The roof of the Beaver County courthouse was crushed by chimneys collapsing onto it, and the walls of the building were cracked in over 25 places. Additional reports of lesser damage include a saloon, several merchant buildings, schools and related buildings, and a church building. Merchandise in several stores was also damaged.


1901 Richfield earthquake, Destruction
Minor damage was reported as far away as Salt Lake City, where several landslides were reported in Little Cottonwood, Big Cottonwood, and Bullion Canyon. The landslides almost completely blocked the roads. Surface ruptures and increased river flow were also reported.


1901 Richmond Spiders football team
The 1901 Richmond Spiders football team was an American football team that represented Richmond College—now known as the University of Richmond—as an independent during the 1901 college football season. Led by Garnett Nelson in his first and only year as head coach, Richmond compiled a record of 1–7.

1901 Romanian general election
General elections were held in the Kingdom of Romania between 9 and 15 March 1901.


1901 Rosenska Pokalen
Rosenska Pokalen 1901, part of the 1901 Swedish football season, was the third Rosenska Pokalen tournament played. Eight teams participated and seven matches were played, the first 11 August 1901 and the last 1 September 1901. No team was declared winners of the tournament.


1901 Rutgers Queensmen football team
The 1901 Rutgers Queensmen football team was an American football team that represented Rutgers University as an independent during the 1901 college football season. In its first and only season under head coach Arthur P. Robinson, the team compiled a 0–7 record and was outscored by their opponents, 133 to 5. William B. Wyckoff was the team captain.


1901 SAFA Grand Final
The 1901 SAFA Grand Final was the concluding championship match of the 1901 SAFA season. The game resulted in a victory for Norwood who beat Port Adelaide by four points.


1901 SAFA season
The 1901 South Australian Football Association season was the 25th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia. Minor premier Norwood won its 12th premiership. The season marked the formation and debut of the new Sturt Football Club.


1901 SAFA season, Season
The season was played under conventions similar to, but was amended from, the previous two seasons and the system used in the VFL in 1898–1900.


1901 SAFA season, Season
In the minor round, all seven clubs played a double round-robin of twelve matches, and in the major round, all seven clubs played a single round-robin of six matches.


1901 SAFA season, Season
If the minor premiers won the major round, then that team would automatically win the major premiership. If they did not, then the major round winner would be required to defeat the minor premiers in two separate challenge finals to claim the premiership, effectively giving the minor premiers a triple chance to win the premiership.


1901 SAFA season, Season
The minor premier was Norwood, which finished two games clear on top of the ladder with a 10–2 record; however, the club's major round performance was mediocre, finishing fourth with a record of 3–3. Conversely, Port Adelaide, who had finished fourth in the minor rounds with a 6–6 record, was the undefeated winner of the major round. If the major round had been counted as part of the minor round, then Norwood would have been minor premiers with a 13–5 record, while Port Adelaide would have finished second: both they and North Adelaide finished 12–6, but Port Adelaide had a superior percentage.


1901 SAFA season, Season
Norwood then defeated Port Adelaide by four points in the first challenge match to win the club's twelfth premiership.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election
The Saffron Walden by-election, 1901 was a by-election held on 31 May 1901 for the British House of Commons constituency of Saffron Walden in Essex.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the death on 1 May 1901, at the age of 40, of the sitting Liberal MP for the constituency Armine Wodehouse. Wodehouse was the son of sometime Foreign Secretary John Wodehouse, 1st Earl of Kimberley and had held the Saffron Walden seat since the general election of 1900.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Candidates, Liberals
Saffron Walden Liberals selected as their candidate Jack Pease. Pease had been Liberal MP for the Tyneside Division of Northumberland from 1892-1900 when he lost his seat at that year's general election. During his time in Parliament, Pease had been private secretary to John Morley when he was Chief Secretary for Ireland. In the by-election, Pease had the support of the wine-merchant and philanthropist Sir Walter Gilbey from nearby Bishop's Stortford who promised to address a meeting of farmers on Pease's behalf.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Candidates, Conservatives
The Unionists chose Charles Wing Gray, an Essex farmer whose home was at Halstead. Gray had twice contested the seat before. At the 1895 election he had reduced the Liberal majority from 1,881 to 425 and in 1900 he had brought it down to just 110. He had continued working locally to try and eliminate it altogether and must have had high hopes of victory at the by-election. Saffron Walden had at this time a reputation as a town with strong Quaker influences and a prominent member of the Society of Friends, E B Gibson, was one of Gray's nominators.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, Agriculture
Saffron Walden constituency at this time was a large rural entity, stretching across north Essex from Hertfordshire to Suffolk with the town itself the only real centre of population, the rest of the division being made up of 86 scattered villages. Unsurprisingly then, agricultural questions loomed large with the electorate. The dominant message from the Unionists was the need for the election of an Essex man with a practical understanding of the needs of agriculture and farming.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, Agriculture
They also painted Pease as someone who had done damage to agriculture by voting in previous Parliaments against resolutions introduced in the agricultural interest. They quoted in particular Pease's support for an increase in death duties which had led estate owners to reduce outgoings, discharging servants and agricultural labourers. They also attacked Pease for his opposition in 1896 to the Agricultural Rating Act, designed to reduce the burden of rates on agricultural land. Pease found himself under attack from the local branch of the Rural Labourers' League which openly declared itself for Gray.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, Agriculture
The League had been founded by Jesse Collings, a former Liberal MP who opposed Irish Home Rule and became a Liberal Unionist. Collings had always supported agricultural causes and land reform including the provision of allotments and the campaigns characterised by the slogan Three acres and a cow.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, Agriculture
The Rural Labourers' League brought up the failure of former Liberal governments to legislate for the provision of allotments, despite alleged promises to do so and also challenged Pease on his position on Home Rule, underscoring its Liberal Unionist heritage, even though this seemed to have little resonance as an issue among other electors. In return, Pease made play of the government's proposals for a sugar tax and the addition to labourers' household expenses this was likely to bring.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, Agriculture
Sir Walter Gilbey made good his promise to speak for Pease but the start of the meeting did not go well. It had been advertised as a meeting for farmers but there were many present who were townspeople and probably some from outside the area. This led to protests and a walk-out by the farmers attending, leaving large sections of the hall empty. Holding their own meeting in Saffron Walden market place, the farmers objected that the meeting had been organised to give the impression that farmers were supporting the Radical candidate, which many clearly had no intention of doing.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, Agriculture
They pledged their support to Mr Gray and had probably determined to walk out or demonstrate for the Conservative at some point no matter what. Pease continued to campaign against the importation of foreign agricultural products and the need for government action to help make the land more productive. He accused the government of indifference to agriculture, which he claimed was more intensely felt in Essex than any other county. In his election address Pease alleged that rate relief was not applied fairly, with rich accommodation land elsewhere benefitting at the expense of arable land such as predominated in Essex. He also complained of the unequal burden of increased taxation on workers and labourers.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, The war in South Africa
The Boer War was a divisive issue in British politics at the turn of the 20th century. The war had resulted in the victory of the Conservative Party in the 1900 general election, which was dubbed the Khaki election. But what had at first been seen as a brief Imperial engagement turned slowly into a protracted and bloody conflict. Opposition to the War was strengthened by the use of concentration camps by the British Army against the Dutch civilian population. This policy was eventually characterised by Liberal leader Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman as 'methods of barbarism'.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, The war in South Africa
Gray was determined to play the khaki card again and held a meeting at Saffron Walden Town Hall on 29 May 1901 with the Marquis of Graham and D J Morgan MP in support. Graham described the war as a clash between civilization and progress (on the British side) and slavery, bribery and corruption on the Boer side. He jingoistically declared that the struggle to decide who should 'boss' South Africa, British or Dutch, would be fought to the finish regardless of cost.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Issues, The war in South Africa
It seems likely that some traditional Liberal voters may have felt unwilling to vote against a popular, patriotic war in 1900 and consequently supported the Tory at that general election. By May 1901 however the shine was starting to come off the military brass. A Liberal supporting election leaflet, "A Soldier’s Indictment of the Present Government" signed by “Tommy Atkins” was circulating in the last days of the contest. The Liberal candidate, Jack Pease, was from the Imperialist part of the party which was happy to support the Boer War in principle.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Result
Pease held the seat for the Liberals with an increased majority. In 1900, Armine Wodehouse's majority over Gray had been 110. Pease increased this to 792 at the by-election. While a Liberal victory in a seat which had been Liberal since its creation for the 1885 general election could have been anticipated, the size of the win was larger than forecast.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Result
Once the result was declared, the Conservatives pleaded a lack of voter registration and organisation in the run-up to the poll but Gray had fought the seat in 1895 and 1900 and had made inroads into the Liberal majority. In addition, Gray was the local candidate compared with the carpetbagger Pease looking for a safe Parliamentary billet having been ousted by the voters of Tyneside and with no local credentials.


1901 Saffron Walden by-election, Result
It seems the impact of the Boer War was wearing off as an electoral asset for the Tories and the agricultural issues seemed to work in favour of the Liberals, particularly the concerns about the impact of the sugar tax on those with low wages in the countryside. It is possible that, as is usual in politics, the electorate may have been beginning to turn against the government, which had by this time been in office for six years. However other by-election results around this time in agricultural seats were not as propitious for the Liberals and saw an increase in the Unionist vote.


1901 Saint Louis Blue and White football team
The 1901 Saint Louis Blue and White football team was an American football team that represented Saint Louis University during the 1901 college football season. In their third season under head coach Martin J. Delaney, the team compiled a 10–0 record and outscored opponents by a total of 233 to 14. The team played its home games at Handlan's Park in St. Louis.

1901 San Diego mayoral election, Campaign
On April 2, 1901, Frary was elected mayor with a majority of 59.1 percent of the vote. Sprigg came in second with 35.3 percent of the vote. Simpson came in third with 5.6 percent.


1901 Scottish Cup Final
The 1901 Scottish Cup Final was played on 6 April 1901 at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow and was the final of the 29th season of the Scottish Cup. Heart of Midlothian and Celtic contested the match. Hearts won the match 4–3, thanks to goals from Bobby Walker, Charles Thomson and a double from Mark Bell.


1901 Scottish Cup Final
Hearts went on to play in and win the 1901–02 World Championship, beating Tottenham Hotspur.


1901 Serbian Senate election
Senate elections were held in Serbia on 5 August 1901. They followed the promulgation of a new, liberal constitution in May, which created a bicameral People's Representative Body consisting of an elected National Assembly and a largely appointed Senate. The National Assembly had been elected in May 1901.


1901 Serbian Senate election, Electoral system
The Senate consisted of 30 members appointed for life membership by the King and 18 members elected for six year terms. Membership was limited to people aged 40 or over and who had paid at least 200 dinars in annual taxation, although the taxation requirement was waived for a range of former public officials, including ex-ministers and diplomats. Voting rights were granted to men over the age of 21 who paid at least 45 dinars a year in direct taxation.


1901 Serbian Senate election, Results
The elections were marred by demonstrations in Belgrade, during which the police arrested and killed several demonstrators. Although the People's Radical Party won a majority of seats, they were only offered three ministerial positions by King Alexander, with independent Aleksa Jovanović becoming Prime Minister.


1901 Serbian Senate election, Aftermath
The combined People's Representative Body met for the first time on 1 October. Rista Popović was elected as Speaker of the National Assembly and Dimitrije Marinković as Speaker of the Senate.


1901 Sewanee Tigers football team

1901 Sewanee Tigers football team
Sewanee was a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association during the majority of the 1901 season. However, the association indefinitely suspended Sewanee on November 26, 1901, for allowing an ineligible player to participate in the November 16 game against Vanderbilt.


1901 South Bend Athletic Association football team

Under legendary player coach Pat O'Dea, who also coached the Notre Dame football team in their 1901 football season, helped the South Bend Athletic Association to a 6–1–3 record. The team outscored their opponents 139 to 24, posting five shutouts and three scoreless ties. They played Notre Dame a record four times in one season, and held a record of 1–1–2 against the neighboring South Bend Collegiate team. South Bend AA was also recognized as Athletic Club champions of the West, with wins over Titan AA, Shamrock AC of South Bend, and Detroit AC. In the post-season, they played Rensselaer Athletic Club, who had been undefeated for three consecutive years, to a 0–0 tie.


1901 South Carolina Gamecocks football team

The team played its home games at the college ballpark that later became known as Davis Field in Columbia, South Carolina.


1901 South Carolina's 7th congressional district special election
The 1901 South Carolina 7th congressional district special election was held on November 5, 1901 to select a Representative for the 7th congressional district to serve out the remainder of the term for the 57th Congress. The special election resulted from the death of Representative J. William Stokes on July 6, 1901. Asbury Francis Lever, a former secretary to Stokes, won the Democratic primary and was unopposed in the general election.


1901 South Carolina's 7th congressional district special election, Democratic primary
The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary in the summer of 1901. Five candidates entered the race and among those who sought the seat was future longtime U.S. Senator, Ellison D. Smith. Asbury Francis Lever emerged atop the first primary election and won the runoff election against Thomas F. Brantley, a candidate in the 1898 election. There was no opposition to the Democratic candidate in the general election so Lever was elected to serve out the remainder of the term.


1901 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season

1901 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season
Amidst charges of professionalism, Georgia Tech and Nashville were blacklisted. The 1901 game of LSU versus Tulane eventually ended up as a forfeiture. Tulane forfeited the game the November 16 due to a ruling from the SIAA. The 1901 edition of the Battle for the Flag against LSU was originally a 22-0 victory for Tulane. It was later forfeited after a petition to the SIAA, and was recorded as a 0-11 loss for Tulane. After the game, LSU protested to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and alleged that Tulane had used a professional player during the game. Several months later, the SIAA ruled the game an 11-0 forfeit in favor of LSU.


1901 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season
The 1901 team was likely the best football team in Nashville's history. Coached by Charley Moran, though they lost to southern power Vanderbilt, they "mopped up with about everything else."

1901 Spanish general election
The 1901 Spanish general election was held on Sunday, 19 May and on Sunday, 2 June 1901, to elect the 10th Restoration Cortes of the Kingdom of Spain. All 402 seats in the Congress of Deputies were up for election, as well as 180 of 360 seats in the Senate.


1901 Spanish general election, Overview, Background
The Spanish Constitution of 1876 enshrined Spain as a constitutional monarchy, awarding the King power to name senators and to revoke laws, as well as the title of commander-in-chief of the army. The King would also play a key role in the system of El Turno Pacífico (the Peaceful Turn) by appointing and toppling governments and allowing the opposition to take power. Under this system, the Conservative and Liberal parties alternated in power by means of election rigging, which they achieved through the encasillado, using the links between the Ministry of Governance, the provincial civil governors, and the local bosses (caciques) to ensure victory and exclude minor parties from the power sharing.


1901 Spanish general election, Overview, Electoral system
The Spanish Cortes were envisaged as "co-legislative bodies", based on a nearly perfect bicameralism. Both the Congress of Deputies and the Senate had legislative, control and budgetary functions, sharing equal powers except for laws on contributions or public credit, where the Congress had preeminence. Voting for the Cortes was on the basis of universal manhood suffrage, which comprised all national males over twenty-five, having at least a two-year residency in a municipality and in full enjoyment of their civil rights.


1901 Spanish general election, Overview, Electoral system

Despite the Liberals not fielding a candidate in 1900, they did this time with their candidate Bolton King who has been described as a 'radical idealist'. His objective was "to carry the principles of Christianity into political and social life". However, before his campaign could even get off the ground it ran into trouble. His adoption meeting at the Corn Exchange descended into chaos with speeches being interrupted with patriotic songs, chairs being turned over and ultimately, fighting breaking out.


1901 Stratford-on-Avon by-election, Campaign
By contrast, the Conservative candidate, Philip Foster, had a much more peaceful adoption meeting the next evening in which he called for tolerance as a result of the previous night's events. Two further Liberal meetings at the Corn exchange received an equally malicious response. Learning from this, at King's eve-of-poll rally the seats were arranged in such a way that would reduce confrontation.

1901 United States Senate special election in Pennsylvania
The 1901 United States Senate special election in Pennsylvania was held on January 15, 1901, after the regularly scheduled legislative election in January—April 1899 failed to elect a Senator. Former Senator Matthew Quay, who had left the Senate for nearly two years because of the political stalemate, was again elected by the Pennsylvania General Assembly to the United States Senate.


1901 United States Senate special election in Pennsylvania, Background
Republican Matthew Quay was re-elected by the Pennsylvania General Assembly, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, in the 1893 election. With Sen. Quay's term expiring on March 4, 1899, the General Assembly convened on January 18, 1899, to elect a Senator for the next term. Between January 18 and April 19, 1899, seventy-nine ballots were recorded in an attempt to elect a Senator. Instead, the legislature adjourned sine die without electing a Senator due to a dispute between Sen. Quay's political machine and an anti-Quay faction within the Republican Party, along with Democratic Party opposition.


1901 United States Senate special election in Pennsylvania, Background
Sen. Quay's term expired on March 4, 1899. Since a Senator had not been elected for the successive term, the seat was vacated. At the time, Quay was under indictment for misuse of funds. He was acquitted, after which Governor William Stone appointed Quay to the vacated Senate seat (a power the Governor did not legally have until the ratification of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1913). The Senate refused to recognize Quay's appointment, and the seat remained vacant until a Senator could be officially elected (which would ultimately be Quay himself, after a nearly two-year hiatus). This incident, among others, would later be cited by supporters of the 17th Amendment, which mandated the direct election of U.S. Senators.


1901 United States Senate special election in Pennsylvania, Results

1901 Western Australian state election
Elections were held in the state of Western Australia on 24 April 1901 to elect 50 members to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. It was the first election to take place since responsible government without the towering presence of Premier Sir John Forrest, who had left state politics two months earlier to enter the first Federal parliament representing the Division of Swan, and the first state parliamentary election to follow the enactment of women's suffrage in 1899.


1901 Western Australian state election
The Ministerial group, led by Forrest's nominated successor George Throssell, ran a half-hearted campaign for government, with Throssell saying in a policy speech that while he would continue to serve as Premier if required, "it was not the class of political life he desired, as it interfered too much with his leisure." Meanwhile, the Opposition had no clear leader, with the Parliamentary leader Frederick Illingworth and George Leake, who was seeking to return to Parliament in the election, both apparently contenders. The groups were neither formal nor organised, with many members and candidates professing rather confused allegiances and running their own campaigns on local issues.


1901 Western Australian state election
Following the introduction of payment of members in 1900, which effectively allowed electors without independent means to sit in Parliament, the Labour Party offered 22 candidates to the voters compared to three at the previous election, each of which was pledged to the party's platform. The Westralian Worker newspaper, launched six months earlier, was used to publicise the campaign. They ultimately won six seats, of which five were located in the Goldfields.


1901 Western Australian state election
No clear winner emerged, and considerable instability resulted as three Ministries either resigned or were defeated on a want of confidence motion. The situation was ultimately resolved when half of the Morgans Ministry were defeated in ministerial by-elections in December 1901, which gave the Opposition a narrow majority with Independent or Labour support.


1901 Western Australian state election
The election took place based on boundaries established in the Constitution Act Amendment Act 1899, which increased the number of members from 44 to 50 and reflected demographic changes—the Pilbara region lost two seats as did the Murchison region, whilst five seats were created in Kalgoorlie and the Eastern Goldfields and four seats were created in the Perth metropolitan area. The election was conducted under the first past the post system, and electorates had a wide variety of numbers of enrolled voters, ranging from 108 at East Kimberley to 7,024 at Hannans—nine electorates had 500 or less, whilst the same number had 3,000 or more.

1901 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Season recap
Since there was a lack of funds to entice an outside coach for the 1901 football season, the Western University Athletic Association convinced Wilbur D. Hockensmith to organize the team. Mr. Hockensmith had just graduated from the Western University of Pa. with a degree in mechanical engineering and had played guard on the 1900 football team. "Coach" Hockensmith and team captain Malcolm McConnell managed to recruit enough players and were granted the use of Schenley Oval for their home field of play.


1901 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Season recap
They also arranged, through the Pittsburgh Railways Company, a deal so that all fans could attend the games free of charge. Chancellor William J. Holland's master vision was to bring the University to the East End and introducing the residents and students to amateur football on the Schenley Oval was a step in the right direction. The WUP administration also demanded that their opponents sign an agreement that all athletes were in good academic standing at the school.


1901 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Season recap
After two games, the Athletic Committee appointed Winthrop S. Worcester to assistant football manager so Richard Wallace could spend more time as an assistant coach. They also resolved that all teams representing the WUP must be  amateur and they could not play against a professional team. In its first season under head coach Wilbur Hockensmith, the team compiled a 7–2–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 96 to 53.


1901 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, at Penn State
The first game of the 1901 season was September 28 at Bellefonte, Pa. against the strong eleven of State College. The problem for Coach Hockensmith and team captain McConnell was that the Medical School did not start until October 1. Tryouts were held and a practice game was played against the No. 13 team. This was a team of deaf mutes and they played hard against the University boys for an hour. Coach and captain chose a lineup and they felt prepared for the fourth chapter in the Penn State rivalry.


1901 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, at Penn State
However, State coach William Golden's eleven were too much of a challenge for the undermanned WUP. The Staties had played the week before and were even much better after another week of practice.

Richard Wallace and Andrew Wallgren were named the tackles and Parke Bachman was the starting center. West Virginia was having lineup problems of their own. Their quarterback Wiant and fullback Smith were disqualified for grades and starting end Cole and halfback Brown were injured and did not play. The situation caused their Coach Yeager to try to get himself into the lineup but the WUP officials denied the request. After nine straight defeats to West Virginia this newly configured lineup was able to notch the Western U. 's first victory in the Backyard Brawl.


1901 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, at West Virginia
The WUP offense had the ball within scoring distance twice in the first half but were unable to capitalize. Once they lost the ball on a fumble and the second time the whistle blew for halftime. West Virginia lost the ball on downs to start the second half and the WUP offense steadily moved the ball. Both John Simpson and John Martin made huge gains and fullback William Secrist plunged into the end zone for the first score. Five minutes later Secrist scored his second touchdown. McConnell was good on both goals after. The WUP offense was on the West Virginia fifteen yard line as time expired with the Western University ahead 12-0. The WUP team suffered no major injuries and they were impressed with the deportment of the West Virginia fans. The game was played in 20-minute halves.

The goal kick after was unsuccessful. The game ended a short time later with the WUP ahead 11-0. Since the Alleghenies had lost their two previous games by the same 11-0 score, they insisted that the umpire should reverse his touchback call and give the Westerns two more points so the score would not be 11-0.
