“President [G.A.G.] Wood is opening the purse strings to give Boston a winning team. The value of Tommy Muirhead, Alex McNab, McMillan, J. Ballantyne, W. Paterson and Willie Ballantyne, if placed in the open market and priced as transfer fees go on the other side today, would amount to close to $65,000. That is a conservative estimate. The relative values of Fleming, McArthur, Abel, Thompson, Battles, Grant and Stevens is unknown, but soccer fans would rate the rest of the players at $35,000, so Boston has a team of player which in the aggregate would value $100,000.” (The Boston Globe)
