Morgan Fills Eddie Ford's Shoes with Yankee Wins
The Yankees promote 21-year-old Tom Morgan as a Ford replacement. Morgan returns from a Kansas City stint to post seven straight wins without a loss, including a 4-0 shutout of the Senators. The win tightens New York's AL lead over Cleveland and widens it over Boston. In other action, Chicago tops Detroit 10-1 behind Eddie Robinson's homer spree, while Merrill Combs homers for Cleveland in an exhibition win over Brooklyn.
