Senators Clinch Pennant With Double Athletics Wins
Washington overwhelmed Philadelphia in two games, 1 to 0 and 7 to 6, to virtually seal the American League pennant. The Athletics suffer a fifth straight setback, leaving them nine games behind the leaders with few avenues to recover. Walter Johnson outpitched Lefty Grove in the morning as errors by Bishop and Galloway hurt Philadelphia, while the Senators’ infield mistakes in the fifth and eighth frames of the afternoon game opened the door to a decisive Washington rally.
