More Customers Than Places in First Division of American League
A survey by Associated Press correspondent from league training camps shows the American League faces more contenders than spots in the first division. The Athletics, Senators, Yankees, and Tigers appear certain, with the Indians, White Sox, and Browns still hopeful. Teams reshuffle rosters as young stars arrive and veterans move, led by Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker. Cleveland relies on pitching, while Chicago faces a managerial shift and Boston eyes a stronger showing. Training camp notes mention the drag bunt and standout performances, with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia also in spring action.
