Selectors and key

GB = A poll conducted by the Green Bay Press-Gazette identified first and second teams. The selections were based on polling of league managers and reporters.[2][3]
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]
