-===== News =====
-•	//Sporting Life// reprinted a story originally published in the //Chicago Journal// that included what purported to be 1901 salaries owed by the Athletics to several players
-•	To wit: third baseman [[Lave Cross]] ($3,000), outfielder Elmer Flick ($3,000), second baseman [[Nap Lajoie ($3,500)]], catcher Ed McFarland ($2,800), left-handed pitcher Win Mercer ($3,000), and right-handed pitcher Vic Willis ($2,700)
-•	By the time of the reprint both Flick and McFarland had said they would be returning to the Phillies
-•	Catcher [[Harry Smith]], a recent Athletics signee, was likely to be the subject of a lawsuit by the Pirates, who claimed they held his rights following a trade with Milwaukee
-•	Athletics manager [[Connie Mack]] said it was nothing to do with him and that the Pirates should take up the matter with Milwaukee
-===== Transactions =====
-•	The team signed right-handed pitcher [[Chick Fraser]]
-•	Fraser had played for the Phillies and presumably that team still believed had a reserve on him
-•	According to some sources the signing was performed by American League president Ban Johnson, not the team
