The report surveys past 25-win seasons from stars like Walters Derringer Benton Grimes Luque Morrison Alexander Mathewson and McGinnity, and notes the rarity of multiple 25-win years in modern NL history.

Bob Grim Cheerfully Reports to Yankee Press Box Duty
Brooklyn born pitcher Bob Grim who won 20 games last season and was AL rookie of the year has been on the disabled list with a sore elbow for over a month yet still attends Yankee Stadium games. He sits in the press box before home games, works out, then dons a uniform and cheers the Yankees, hoping to return to pitching within days. Grim shows the same excitement during games, but laments the batting slumps and his inability to help the club while injured.
