Ferrell Likely Done With Boston Red Sox

New York Aug 2 Wes Ferrell, the big right hander, likely finished with the Boston Red Sox after a blowup in a game with the Yankees. Manager Joe Cronin fined Ferrell 700 and suspended him for the rest of the season after he walked off the mound toward the clubhouse during the inning. Cronin demanded Ferrell be kept away, and speculation rose that Boston may seek a trade as Ferrell faced possible further punishment and team discord.

His season record stood at 15 wins and 15 losses with a .100 batting average supporting his struggle this season.
