-===== News =====
-•	Manager [[Connie Mack]] held forth on a number of topics, including player signings, the reserve clause, and the work of the league's rules committee
-•	Mack said he had signed 12 players, but declined to name any of them
-•	He did, however, say that none of the following were on that list: right-handed pitcher Amos Rusie, left-handed pitcher Jesse Tannehill, catcher Ed McFarland, and outfielder Elmer Flick
-•	Regarding the reserve clause he said the National League "haven't a leg to stand on," implying that the presence of the clause in a player's contract wouldn't dissuade him from signing NL players
-•	He said the American League would not be adopting any of the recent rule changes made by the National League, including the rule that foul balls in a 0- or 1-strike count would now be called strikes, calling it a "doggy" rule, and the new rule that batters would not automatically be awarded first base upon being hit by a pitch, saying it was an invitation to trouble
-•	The American League announced that each team would play a 140-game schedule and that the season would be a little longer than usual, given that the Eastern cities didn't allow play on Sundays
