Bush Picks Naps as Runners Up
Donie Bush praises the Cleveland Naps as possibly the second best club in the league behind Connie Mack’s Athletics. He notes Cleveland’s balanced lineup and strong pitching, while predicting potential shifts if old-timers falter and Birmingham’s Vean Gregg and Willie Mitchell shine on the mound.
