Indians Poised as 1920 Pennant Contenders under Tris Speaker
New York March 15 Tris Speaker and his Cleveland Indians are viewed by baseball experts as likely American League pennant contenders in 1920. Speaker’s early success as manager, strong pitching depth led by left-hander Niehaus, and balanced hitting across the lineup boost Cleveland’s prospects. If Niehaus delivers and right-handers perform, the Indians could finally win the pennant, matching the world series ambition of their players.
