Indians Face Urgent Need to Improve As Standings Slip
The Cleveland Indians, in fourth place nine games behind the Yankees and a half game behind the Tigers, face pressure from President Alva Bradley and manager Steve O'Neill to improve. Hal Trosky is out with a bruised shin, Billy Sullivan shifts to first, and Bruce Campbell returns from meningitis as lineup changes loom. With the trading deadline near, clubs rely on minor-league material, and the Indians consider players who can boost spirit and performance.
