1st Saikoi Title

In later editions, the winner of the League challenged the title holder. In this first edition Sakata was winner of the League and got the title. (There had been a trial League, a 0th Saikoi, the previous year. Sakata had inherited ranking #1 from that, and therefore came before Sugiuchi.)
