Loss of Sisler May Cost Browns the A. L. Pennant
Henry L. Farrell reports that an injury to George Sisler could hollow the St. Louis Browns chances in the American League pennant race. Sisler’s absence would hit the Browns at bat and on the base paths, shifting reliance to Jacobson who struggles at first base. Pitching depth, especially with Shocker and Pruett limited, could decide the outcome as the Yankees hold 17 games remaining to the Browns 15.
