Yankees Clinch pennant as Ruth hits two homers
New York clinched the American League title with a doubleheader sweep of Cleveland, 5 3 and 3 2, as Babe Ruth homered in both games to raise his season total to 52. Miller Huggins led the club to a fifth league crown in seven years, with a 17 game margin over Philadelphia. The Yankees may threaten the 105 win record set by the 1912 Red Sox, while Ruth and Gehrig again powered the attack with a club record 145 homers. The double victory came as the season nears its end.
