Will Strengthen American League for 1914 Season
Chicago Jan. 16. Strengthening York and St. Louis teams of the American League will make a big impact next season. Frank Chance with the Highlanders should rise toward the first division, while George Stovall’s Browns look to improve and contend. Detroit and Cleveland appear early candidates for the cellar, with Naps and Tigers not favorably viewed to improve. Chance plans to bolster New York by adding players from other clubs, while Stovall’s young pitchers keep the Browns competitive. The top trio likely remains Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, but tougher competition reshapes the first division.
