You can use a T1 crossover cable. It's not the same as an Ethernet crossover though, so you'll probably have to make one yourself. Take a regular patch cable, snip off one end and re-crimp a new end on it swapping the orange an blue pair..

End A (standard CAT5)               End B (new end)
1 - orange/white                        1 - blue/white
2 - orange                                 2 - blue
3 - green/white                          3 - green/white
4 - blue                                     4 - orange
5 - blue/white                            5 - orange/white
6 - green                                   6 - green
7 - brown/white                         7 - brown/white
8 - brown                                  8 - brown

FYI, I would start with a basic PPP connection without requiring authentication. If this is a dedicated point-to-point, the authentication is just needless.

R1
!
interface Serial0/0/0
 description Connected to Main Street Branch
 ip address 10.9.1.1 255.255.255.252
 encapsulation ppp
 service-module t1 clock source internal
 
R2
!
interface Serial0/1/0
 description Connected to Spring St Router
 ip address 10.9.1.2 255.255.255.252
 encapsulation ppp
 ppp authentication chap callin
 ppp chap hostname calbear_spring_st
 ppp chap password 0 calbear1933

I would also review your routing on R1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.254  <== OK
no ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 FastEthernet0/0 <== directly connected, do NOT add a route to a connected network
ip route 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.9.1.2  <== OK
