- " - INTERSECTIONAL SERIES START By Davis J. Walsh (I. N. S. Sports Editor! New May 3- (INS) -After giving its customuiy slapstick prelude of early April, Major League basebnll may be depended upon to settle down to legitimate rides in the next fort- 1 night, beginning tomorrow with the first of the East-west Intersectional meetings. Always a show down of 1 authority, the Intersectional factor 1 will ser(e its usual pm pose this time ft may determine definitely and to all 1 practical purposes whether clubs like ' the Cleveland Indians. St. Louis Bi wns and Brooklyn Dodgers belong i where they happen to find themselves . today nr merely are occupying f rst ; division positions by the gratuity of ] "Squatters' rights.’/ , Fur another, it may show just how ( far John McG;aw can hope to go with ; his Giants this season. The club inmoving west today in first place, re- ; gardless of injuiies to (I'D,ml and Walker and the failure cf Vic Aldridge to | ■ epoit. But it got where it is by pushing the Braves. Dodgers and Phillies , around and. if that kind has anything, , then C ogan's Bluff is something that ought to be called. ; , All the speed of the National League i j I Held, bailing, the Giants, is in the west. Therefore, their, next sixteen , ball games figu.e to prove just who has it —in adition t:> the customary 1 four out of five. The G ants < pen their western Invasion in Cincinn. fi tomorrow. Then I j they double back t.i Pittsburgh jump , over to Chicago and finish in St. Louis , Eveiy series will be a crucial as the ( dependability of a suspender button. Tile Reds getting leal pitching again, are playing the kind of baseball they showed in 1926 when they chased the Cardinals in. The Pirates apparently have c me back from an indifferent bleak I rum the harrier and seem headed for the first division. Tjie Cubs aren't hitting 6 7-8. hat size, but the , chances are they will be icady true to form already. As for the status of the Browns, and Indians, it may go unchallenged for four or five days, St. Louis will open in Washingtrn tomorrow and the Senators at the moment seem to be all spread out like a creditor’s investigation. They aYe not even challenging the loser right now. The Indians. meantime, will be asked to meet the Red Sox and will reluctantly consent However, the Br wns next stop will be Philadelphia and the Indians' next the Yankee Stadium and the-wes-teiners at both places will have to show plenty. This may turn out to be slightly nioie than they have.
