this is an article i found online in regards to this world Tour

"Not all players from the Giants and White Sox were up to the adventure of spending the off-season touring the globe. Accordingly, the two clubs had to supplement their rosters with other players from the rest of the American and National Leagues. The White Sox touring club, managed by Jimmy Callahan, included Buck Weaver, Ray Schalk, James Scott, Hal Chase, "Red" Farber, and comedian “Germany” Schaefer of the Chicago club; Sam Crawford of the Detroit Tigers; Tris Speaker of the Boston Red Sox; and Walter Leverenz of the St. Louis Browns. The Giants roster consisted of such well-known players as Larry Doyle, "Bunny" Hearn, Fred Merkle, Ivy Wingo, John "Chief" Meyers, and Christy Mathewson of the New York club; Steve Evans and Lee Magee of the St. Louis Cardinals; and Mickey Doolan of the Philadelphia Phillies. Umpiring was provided by Jack Sheridan and the booming voice of Bill Klem. The entourage included some family members, boosters, and media representatives."
