Inter sectional games spark major league opening week
Opening of the major leagues' inter sectional games highlights questions about the New York Yankees without Joe DiMaggio and whether the Boston Bees can sustain their hot pace. DiMaggio is out with a leg injury and Lou Gehrig struggles at the plate as the east meets the west in ten days of action. The Bees surge atop the NL behind strong pitching from Bill Posedel as Pittsburgh ends an eight game skid and Brooklyn survives a Phillies slugfest.
