CT = The Chicago Tribune selected by Wilfrid Smith [1] [2]

JR = Jack Reardon, a game official from New York [2]

LA = LeRoy Andrews, head coach of the Cleveland Bulldogs [2]

RS = Ralph Scott, head coach of the New York Yankees. Scott chose separate teams of "power" (RS-P) and "clever" (RS-C) players. [2]
