Detroit Too Can Claim the Pennant Says Harris
Detroit manager Mule Harris voices confidence that his Tigers have strengthened enough to compete with the Yankees and A’s for the pennant. He cites added depth and patching of weaknesses as the team gears up for the 1928 season. Other clubs including Boston, Cleveland, and Chicago are noted as stronger rivals, with the Yankees hoping to avoid arm injuries that plagued them in 1925. Harris emphasizes Detroit as the league’s strongest club next to New York and predicts a vigorous race to April opening.
