Yankee slump tested by champions pride and faith
The Yankees, six losses in eight games and five straight, face questions from manager Joseph McCarthy who insists confidence remains amid a seven game AL lead over the Red Sox. Pitching has shone, while hitting struggles persist as Joe DiMaggio, Charley Keller, Bill Dickey, and Joe Gordon are expected to wake the bats. In the NL, Dodgers hold a one game edge on the Cardinals and plan to press the Pirates and Reds this week, while yesterday’s open date paused action.
