New York Teams to Use Former College Stars in Pennant Race
New York baseball clubs seek college stars to bolster rosters for 1924 pennant battles. Yankees eye Lou Gehrig John Levi and Duggan as prospects while Giants consider Jim Tunney and Jim McGureney with Mel Ott and Wallie Pini cited as prior college successes. Gehrig and Levi show strong hitting promise, Duggan headlines a notable Brown University run, and Tunney's Holy Cross work earns him a Major League trial with McGraw’s Giants.
