Nobody can convince Dave Fer
riss that the New York Yankees are
just q shadow of the old Murderer's
Row and the rookie of the year has
evidence to back up his case.
The spectacular Boston Red Sox
freshman has lost only four games
while winning II but three of his
setbacks were at the hands of the
New Yorkers.
When the discharged Air Forces
veteran broke into the league with
eight straight triumphs, including
a SO shutout of the Yanks, the
writers went scurrying for the rec
ord books to excavate matching
deeds. But Joe McCarthy's clan put
an end to the search by knocking
him off the pedestal, 80, on rainy
Sunday afternoon in June.
Ferriss at the time shrugged of
the loss as "one of those things" 4"
recalling he had lost games in the
Piedmont League and he'd lose
plenty more up in the big tent.
Knocked Out Only Once.
Next time the husky highlander
came up against the Yanks he was
slugged off the hill, the only time
he has been kayoed in 20 starts, and
soundly drubbed, 14-4, by Walter
Dubiel.
The prize rookie had lost only
once since and Dubiel hadn't beaten
soul since that June 81 day until
yesterday, when they again clashed
at Fenway Park. Ferriss wasn't
knocked out, but the New York
team combed him for 10 hits,
4 by Tucker Stainback, and edged
him out in 10 innings, Az.
