National league lagged as American league wins post season
The St Louis Times notes the American league dominated this season's post season with a 12 3 1 record and says the National league relied on talk and umpire baiting. It credits the Boston Braves for a vocal, aggressive style and praises the Browns for a concentrated hit and run approach that outplayed National league clubs. It predicts a National league reaction next season as players tire of the old arm and talk game.
