The team officially gathered for the first time, for a quick introductory meeting. Among those attending were right-handed pitcher Bill Bernhard, left-handed pitcher Billy Milligan, catcher Doc Powers, first baseman Pat Crisham, second baseman Nap Lajoie, and outfielders Fred Ketchum and Dave Fultz.

Crisham left town almost immediately for his home in Altoona after learning that his daughter was serious ill.

Chick Fraser, Phil Geier, Socks Seybold and Christy Mathewson were expected to arrive tomorrow. Lave Cross, Harry Smith, and Vic Willis were expected to arrive later in the week.

The team signed outfielder Jack Hayden and left-handed pitcher Wiley Piatt.
