picking even one cinch 20-game
winner is a tough one. On form,
Red Ruffing of the Yanks appears
to be the best bet, having hit the
2O-game brackets the last hree years
with 20 each in 1886 and 1897 and
81 last year. But even Ruffing at
35 may be gamble.
Besides Ruffing, others in the
charmed circle last year we're Bill
Lee, Cubs. who won %, Paul Der
ringer Red who won 81, and Buck
NeWsom, Browns, who miraculously
won 20 for a seventh-place club.
Lee was in the 20-game class once
before back in 1885, and SO was
