First Division. Nothing added, just straight league championship of 13 teams. All Montevideo clubs.
Progreso finished last 13 points. A real outsider, but in the relegation table they had better percentage and were not relegated.

Huracan Buceo – 4th with 28 points.
Defensor Sporting – 3rd with 31 points.
Penarol – 2nd with 31 points. Better than Nacional, which was the only comfort, for they were not a title contender at all, but only fought for second position with Defensor Sporting and clinched it on better goal-difference.
Danubio dominated the championship and won it practically without a rival. 18 wins, 4 ties and only 2 lost games. 52-18 goal-difference and 40 points. Penarol and Defensor were 9 points behind! It was the first time Danubio won the Uruguayan title – great historic success, making the team instant legend for the club supporters. Not only that, but Danubio made another historic point: for the first time since1914 the champion was not Nacional or Penarol two years in a row. Perhaps the winners were not great stars individually; perhaps Uruguayan football as a whole was not at its best… but who would blame Danubio for such things after such dominant season?
What a great moment! Danubio became the 8th club winning the Uruaguayan title.
Danubio, named by immigrant Bulgarian woman, finally won a title – its curious beginning deserves one more photo of their great triumph.
