Yankee/Dodgers Exhibition Game in Ohio 4/10/1940 ???

I have this ticket stub but I can't find any references to the game that took place. I'm guessing it was some kind of exhibition or charity game. Armco Field appears to be in Middletown, Ohio and was the home of an apparently very successful semi-pro or amateur team.

Anyone who can help me research this please post here or PM.

From what I could find the Yankees played the Dodgers at Armco Field in Ashland Kentucky.

Here is a little AP article from the April 11, 1940 Waterloo Daily Courier

Yanks Down Dodgers, 7-6 On Two Hits

Ashland, Ky.— (AP)— The New York Yankees were held to two hits Wednesday, but the World Champions nevertheless managed to score six runs in one big inning to beat
the Brooklyn Dodgers 7 to 6.This uprising came in the fourth frame when Red Rolfe led off with a single, New York's first hit, and there followed two errors, a mental lapse that was scored as a fielder's choice, and five bases on balls
by Pitcher Max Macon, three of them forcing in runs. Babe Dahlgren homered in the
sixth for the Yanks' other hit and what proved to be the winning run. Outfielder Jake Powell of the Yanks ran into a steel fence, and was taken to a hospital for observation,but was not believed seriously hurt.

Brooklyn (N) 002 010 300—6 8 2
New York (A) 000 601 00x—7 2 0
Batteries: Macon, Kimball (6) and Mancuso; Grissom, Hildebrand (8) and Rosar

Excellent! The ticket came out of a scrapbook so there is bunch of paper there. I peeled back a little of it and can see Ash----d, Ky. Nailed.

Thanks!

Very nice ticket stub Moose.

Are you saying there's paper damage on the back from being scrapbooked?
