Few New Champions Crowned In 1924 By Billy Evans
The year saw Washington win the American League pennant and the world series, led by Stanley Harvin in his debut. Hornsby led the National League batters, Ruth topped the American in batting, and Johnson and Vance shone in pitching. Notre Dame and Chicago led football. Yale Dartmouth and Penn were strong in the East. Grange and Tilden stood out, golf champion repeats failed, and Helen Wills dominated tennis women’s play. The year also saw shifts in boxing titles and a burgeoning Louis-Firno hype, with many stars highlighted for 1925 previews.
