Hoocffiitf If url Boston, Sept, 20. The Yankees have a counterpart of the Dodgers' Furillo in Gene Wo- i-ling. The left fielder injured a bone in his left hand last Tuesday while making a sensational catch of a drive by Avila of the Indians, in Yankee Stadium.

A. VI Ford Fails-Yanks Rally to Win, 108 By Joe Trimble Boston; Sept.

20. Whitev Ford's "Ebbets Field Preview" was a flop this afternoon. even though he was credited as the winning pitcher in the Yanks' 10-8 bashing of the Red Sox. The lefthander was cuffed to the showers after frittering away a large part of an eight-run lead, leaving manager Casey Stengel somewhat perplexed.
