Yankees Find Able
Sub For Eddie Ford
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
The New York Yankees appear to have come up with a
worthy replacement for 21-year-old Eddie Ford. He is 21-
year-old Tom Morgan.
One of the reasons critics were predicting the fall of the
Yankee empire last spring was because of Ford’s call to
the armed forces.
“Where will the Yankee get a
replacement for Ford?” They ask.
“Who among Casey Stengel’s new~
comers is going to win those nine
games that Ford copped after the
fourth of July?”
Early hopes that Morgan might |
do it faded wnen the young right
hander was shipped to Kansas City
last May arter losing his first start,
But Morgan came back after a
month of .seasoning and wasted
no time filling Ford’s shoes.
Started Against Nats
Stengel started him against
Washington on June 28 and he
rvesponded by shutting out the Sen
ators, 3-0. Since then he has
racked up seven more triumphs
with out a defeat, His eight straight
came last night, a 4-0 whitewash
job against the same Senators. It
was his third shutout. He won a
1-0 hurling duel from Ned Gar
ver of St. Louis on July 20. ‘
The victory stretched the Yan
kees’ first-place American League
lead over second-place Cleveland
to one full game and over third
‘place Boston to four games. Both
Cleveland and Boston were idle.
‘ In the only other big league ac
tivity, Chicago’s fourth - place
White’ Sox whipped the Tigers in
Detroit, 10-1, First baseman Eddie
‘ Robinson cracked two more runs,
'a double and single to lead the
'Sox attack while righthander Joe
Dobson stopped the Tigers with
five hits for his seventh win.
Morgan surrendered only five
hits, all singles. Gil McDougald,
another Yankee Rookie, accounted
for the first two runs off former
Yank righthander Don Johnson,
with his ninth home run to score
Yogi Berra in front of him. Mc-
Dougald drove in the third run
with a long fly and Gene Wood
ling’s triple followed by Bobby
Brown’s single closed out the scor
ing in the seventh.
The White Sox swatted loser
Hal White and two reliefers for
15 hits to remaln seven games be
hind the Yankees.

Long List Compiled On
Possible Czar Choices
BY JOE REICHLER
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—
(AP)—Who is the “Mr, X"
the club owners refuse to
identify as their dark horse
candidate for baseball com
missioner ?
As the 16 big league exe
cutives convened today to
elect or get a closer line on
their next commissioner,
“Mr. X” appeared to be the
possible choice over the *big
five” in the fore of the spec
ulation,
The five are Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur, the tremendous national
figure; James A. Farley, the busi
ness man; and George Trautman,
Ford Frick and Warren Giles, the
baseball men.
Others Considered
Others on the slate containing
some 30 to 35 names include Gov.
Frank J, Lausche of Ohio, Sen.
Edwin Johnson (D.) of Colorado,
and Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court Fred M, Vinson.
But the identity of “Mr. X" re
mains a deep, dark secret.
One owner, who didn’t want his
pname mentioned, agreed the big
five were out front, He added,
however;
“But there is one other name so
highly placed that it would em-~
barrass him if it were to be
known.”
The general feeling is that no
new commissioner will emerge
from the meeting. But that was
the feeling back in 1945 when A.
B. (Happy) Chandler was elected.
Chandler was the dark horse
who won over such candidates as
Bob Hannegan, Farley, Frick and
Giles.
Whoever he will be, the new
commissioner is assured of re
ceiving a higher salary than either
of his predecessors, the late Judge
K. M. Landis and Chandler. Lan
dis’ salary was $50,000. Chand
ler’'s was increased after a few!
years to $65,000. The latter re
signed last month after the own
ers refused to vote him a new
term. |
The owners’ confab was to be
preceeded by a meeting of the
four-man screening committee
which was expected to pare down
the list to a handful of names.
Ellis Ryan, a member of the
screening committee, was the first
of the owners to arrive here for
the meetiggz scheduled to begin at
9 a. m. (EST).
“Nothing Definite” |
Ryan said he had “no definite
candidate” for the job but thought
“several on the list are well quali
fied.”
“I wouldn't want to restrict my
vote to any category,” he added.
“Baseball man, business man, pol
itician or what. We're picking a
man—not a category.
~ “One think I'd like to get across.

“A MAN WOULD HAVE TO BE STUPID"” — Ousted
Baseball Commissioner A. B. “Happy’’ Chandler tells
congressmen his opinion of the job at a hearing.in Wash
ington Monday. “A man would have to be stupid” to take
the job under present rules, he says. The former eom
missioner is testifying before the House Judiciary sub
committee which is investigating organized baseball.
Chandler was let out a month ago after a long squabble
with major league club owners.— (AP Wirephoto.)
We definitely want a commission~-
er. We want one as soon as wc‘
can get one, But we don’t want to
be pushed into getting g’ust any=
body. He must have the confi
dence of the owrners, the players
and the public.”
