Indians Pass Up Haefner Boner Treated by Veeck
Cleveland owner Bill Veeck passed on signing Mickey Haefner in a winter deal with Washington. Haefner shut out the Indians 1-0 led by Larry Doby's first inning single as the Senators extended their winning streak to eight. Haefner, age 36, was unsigned by Cleveland amid a 5-13 record last season. Doby reached third once and was on base twice in a one hit game for Cleveland. Hal Newhouser lost his no hit bid in the fifth as the Yankees defeated Detroit 6-1 to widen the AL lead.
