East West play opens as baseball races heat up
West AL clubs head to the seaboard as Eastern clubs tour the West in a two week spread. Detroit's visit to the East pits the Tigers against the New York and Boston squads while Brooklyn faces St Louis in a key series. The Motor City nine begin at Fenway Park then move to Yankee Stadium for two against the Yankees amid a star filled pitching test. In the senior circuit, Cardinals meet Dodgers at Sportsman's Park in a pivotal series, with Pittsburgh, Cleveland, New York and Boston all charting varied schedules. A 22 game limit proposal for scholastic basketball is set for a WPLAL committee review to curb overemphasis on high school sports and align seasons with state law.
