Phillies owner John Rogers vowed to bring suit against the Athletics and the American League for the signing of Nap Lajoie, conceived by Rogers as a violation of the terms of the contract to which the Phillies signed him.
Both the Inquirer and the Times reported that the Athletics had signed utility man Daff Gammons at the urging of Dave Fultz. Not true. The Inquirer also reported that Mack had tried to sign outfielder George Hogriever, but lost him to Indianapolis of the Western Association.
