Cronin looks for stronger Red Sox pitching in tight AL race
Joe Cronin expects Boston pitching to improve with full schedule and believes the Red Sox can overpower Cleveland and New York in a close American League race despite mediocre pitching. Johnny Mize credits spring timing, while the Cubs struggle with base runners as Hack, Herman and Galan miss time due to illness. White of Bradley Tech draws major league interest as a thrower with 14 straight strikeouts in a game and multiple bids. Challedon carries top weight in the Suburban Handicap at Belmont, with track refunds mandated if a runner is stuck in the gate.
