Yankees’ Turley kept in as rout unfolds in Cleveland
Walter L Johns reports on a brutal Cleveland doubleheader where Whitey Ford and Tom Morgan struggled. Bob Turley, the Yankees ace, allowed four runs with two homers in the sixth, sparking a Tribe surge. Casey Stengel pulled relievers late as the Indians piled on. Grim exited early in the second game as Stengel shuffled pitchers. The Yanks, still atop the standings, need more dependable pitching to sustain their pennant drive while Berra regains form and the defense shines.
