Whitey Ford reeled off a total of 12 strikeouts and Fred Marsh had 3 base hits
and 2 RBI as the Chicago-NL Cubs topped the New York-AL Yankees by a score of
2 to 0 at Wrigely Field.
Ford(2-0) was simply too much for the New York-AL batters. He allowed just 4
hits and 3 walks in 9 innings seeing his ERA drop from 3.00 to 2.18.
Chicago-NL had a total of 8 hits for the game.
Johnny Schmitz(2-2) was given the loss. He gave up 2 runs and 8 hits in 7
innings. Ron Mead was asked about the performance of Ford, 'He had his good
stuff out there tonight. The fans really get into it when the strikeouts
start mounting up - and that seems to give him even more adrenalin.'
