The leader of the Wheaton League, the Southside Strikers, are star-studded: Honus Wagner and Jack Chesbro to name just a couple. But the two leaders in the Cartwright League (the Brooklyn Eagles and Washington Monuments) do not really have any giant stars. They do have balance and both teams are far out-pacing others with Hall of Fame names (Boston Bayonets and Christy Matthewson, Manhattan and Cy Young, Worcester and Addie Joss, Philadelphia and John McGraw, the N.O. Jazzcats and Nap Lajoie, Louisville and Rube Wadell)

Not that Washington and Brooklyn do not have very good players like Buck Freeman (WAS), Jimmy Barrett (WAS),Billy Lush (BRK) Jimmy Sheckard (BRK) but they don't have those huge names that almost any casual baseball fan would know.
