Phillies manager Bill Shettsline responded to news of Nap Lajoie's signing by the Athletics, saying his team would contest the matter “immediately.”

Outfielder Lefty Davis, who had reputedly signed a contract with Connie Mack earlier in the month said he would stay with Minneapolis, his old team.

The American League announced their complete schedule, though a least one conflict had already been spotted. The Athletics would open at home on April 24 against Washington and close on September 28 in Cleveland for a double header. Twenty-two of the 70 home dates coincided with Phillies home dates. Both Washington and Philadelphia were scheduled to play each other at home on July 3, a conflict that would have to be resolved in the coming days.
