The Inquirer published a list of the American League team rosters. Outfielder Dave Fultz, who had left the Athletics just before the end of the season to coach football and had later been said to be retired, was now listed with the New York squad that had replaced the league's Baltimore franchise. There were a couple of names listed on the A's roster not previously associated with the team: outfielder Ollie Pickering, who was with Cleveland last season, and a pitcher named Atwood.
