It was reported that Connie Mack had signed outfielder Lefty Davis. He hadn't, but nobody knew that for sure except for the principals.

Manager Connie Mack continued his recruitment trip in the Midwest and had reported signed seven players, with another seven on the hook. The team wouldn't confirm any of the names that had been rumored, though third baseman Lave Cross, who had played for Brooklyn and St. Louis in the National League last year did affirm his intention to sign with Mack.
