Art Devlin was claimed by the New York Giants.

Apaprently we have the second worst Minor League system in the Majors.

Our top Prospects are Rip Hagerman (57th) and Ping Bodie (58th).

The Experts expect us to finish 6th in the NL with a 75-79 record.

They are wrong. We will surprise them.

Predictions:

AL - Boston Red Sox
NL - Philadelphia Phillies

Top AL Hitter - Joe Jackson, White Sox
Top AL Pitcher - Ed Walsh, Athletics

Top NL Hitter - Tris Speaker, Rustlers (Frank Schulte at #3)
Top NL Pitcher - Bob Wicker, Phillies (No Mathewson? What?)

Doc Smoot was granted his release.

Farmer Ray was placed on waivers.
